Budhia is Universal!!!!!

Everyone of you must have read the news of 4 yr old Budhia.. he made to run 65 k.m. just for records in the age when he doesn’t know what the Record means.. sheer injustice to the child.. The case of budhia is not exceptional… We see plenty of children in Hotels, Malls, railway canteens, footpath, signals all have to forget their childhood for the necessity of much later age i.e. money..

But why to go so far?? I feel for such poor children at least have to work for money .. but if you look more consciously.. there is hidden Budhia in every child around us.. Now its summer time.. Parents just send their children so that they will learn some thing else.. but is it not compulsion??? Anyone ask their child what he wants to learn?

Yesterday one of my neighbors was scolding her daughter because she did not perform as well as other girl in dancing. When I talked to that poor child’s mother she said, “I was good dancer but my dad didn’t allowed me to dance, so I want her to become good dancer!!!”.. I really pity such children.. just to fulfill their mothers/fathers wishes they make the child do the thing at price of their childhood…

We see plenty of Budhia around.. Some are working on signals, railway stations etc. and running behind money… Some Budhias are running in the rat race of exams to make their schools proud.. some Budhias are trying to swim big sea passages to make their coach proud.. Some Budhias are attending Singing/Dancing/Craft/Drama camps to fulfill their parent’s dreams.. Some Budhias are selling black tickets under fear of “Bhai”.. some Budhias are learning different languages because “market” demands it!!!!!

But No one know What the Budhia Wants??? Who Knows!! It can be just hug of mother or successfully stolen mango from a mango tree…

The point you wanna make is really apparent out here, and it's nice to see the emotions that you have put into it...
Somehow, I would have wished you to write a lil more in that last para...cuz that's the real thing...

Also, the flow is not maintained at some places...
but the point you have made is amazing...

Somehow, the world around us has become so competitive that it doesn't bother about these basic joys any more...they have sacrificed it for something more 'useful'...money...
