KUCH KHWAHISHEIN AISI BHI...!!!

What is your first reaction when you stop your vehicle or when u r been to a temple or any place of worship and a beggar comes running towards you?? Most of us either shout at them(if that beggar is fit n fine) that why dont you work and earn your living andif that beggar is physically chalenged then we give something to him and just forget about this incident.In our busy lives we don't have time to even remeber some important incidents then in country like india where at every corner of road you will find beggars such an incident will surely b wiped of from our memories.

We usually blame the government policies for the increasing number of beggars in our country.You will find lots of kids who at the age when they should go to schools their parents(beggars) put them in this begging business as they find it much better than the primary education what they should get.

You people must be thinking today why i am writing all this stuff or what made me write all this.
Its because of an incident that happened few days back when I went to Sai Baba Temple which made me think about those kids who are forcefully put into this begging bussiness.And I feel like sharing this incident with others.

As I stepped into the temple premises some kids(here the kids m referring are the children of beggars) came running to me.As mostly people do I also shouted at them and they went away but a little girl still followed me.At that time somehow I got rid of her but when I came out of the temple,she again came running towards me.At that time I was so fed up of her that i just made my mind that I will give her some money and get rid of her.As I opened my bag to check whether I have some change to give to her she saw my notebooks.When I gave her the money she said

"Didi mujhe paise bhale hi mat do par ek copy de do,mujhe b padna hai main bhi school jaungi"I was surprised on hearing this.This girl who had irritated me so much and somehow I was trying to get rid of her started appearing sweet and innocent to me.At that time I just promised her that i'll bring her a copy and some writing material and I went away.
Next day I especially went back to the temple with a copy and some writing material to give it to her i wasnt able to find her.I enquired about her but the other beggars said that she has not come today.This thing continued for 3 days and I wasn't able to find her.On the 4 th day I saw that girl and I went to her.I saw that her hands were burnt,I asked how this thing happened she said-"Us din didi humne apse paisa nahi liya tha na to hamare chacha ne dekh liya tha to usne hamara hath jalaa diya"I was shocked on hearing this.
Hume nahi chahiye copy hume to bas paise de do nahi to chacha marenge.I was speechless.I felt like slapping her bloody(sorry for using such words but cant stop myself from using it) chacha but wasn't able to find him.
I gave her some money and also that copy and writing stuff and said keep it with you when you are not running behind people for money just study something and left.

I cant forget this incidence and will surely pray that someday that girl and also other children like her can fulfill their dreams of going to school!!!

Cant we do anything for these kids afterall they are the future of our country.

I just wish aisi khwahishein puri ho jaye....
