"When my mother died, I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue could scarcely cry weep! Weep! Weep! So your chimneys i sweep and in slot i sleep."
These lines give up a realistic picture of a society where children were sold for two or three guineas. In fact, it is true to every society where child labour is practised.
Child labour is a henious crime, a punishable offence and yet it is a sad fact that it is an age old phenomenon. William wordsworth said "Heaven lies about us in our infancy."
Survival is the sole priority so children take upon them the onerous task of contributing to family income.
Children are God's gift, born to live and blossom. Though their imagination becomes blackened by soot of inhumanity, their dreams stolen, innocence lost, their heavenly abode must be restored. Because-
"WHAT IS DONE TO CHILDREN, THEY WILL DO TO SOCIETY."

Love by a Lover to his Loved.
"If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I would like to do is to save everyday till eternity passes away, just to spend with you.
If I could make days last forever, if words could make wishes come true, I'd save every day like a treasure and then, I would spend them with you.
If I had a box, just for wishes and dreams that had ever come true, the box would be empty except for the memories of how they were answered by you.
In my heart, I keep the sparkle of your eyes, the tender warmth of your smile, the small tilt of your head, the delicate curves of your soft body.
And I dream-
Dream of holding you close, caring for you, protecting you and loving you always.
When I think of love, I envision you, your eyes, your radiating warmth, your joy and vibrance and the tender feelings in my heart from your lovely smile.
I LOVE YOU."

LETS UNCOMPLICATE LIFE
Lets uncomplicate life. Thats wat i just said.
But is life complicated? I pondered but i couldn't find any complications in my life.
We complicate life by our own hands. Our thoughts do!
They start at a bust and go on and on and take a whole circle. And then you realise- you got back from where you started.
I complain everytime: y me? Why things go wrong wid me everytime? Y i always go wrong? Y, y and Y?
Then i realise... Coz i just can't say a simple YES sometimes?
A simple way is just don't let your brain work sometimes. Just let your heart see whats happening and let it take a decision once.
Lets just say YES sometimes though you are not sure of it; coz anyways at the end you have got nothing to loose.
So today I say a YES and you?

So today I say a YES and you?
Heart N Me!
Its a feeling so strong, which makes me feel that i am wrong.
But i always wonder and feel, i am rite; wen my heart says, you can't always be rite.
There comes a heated argument!
I say you don't understand.
My heart says, i am not meant to understand!
I say, but you always argue wid me, though illogical most times.
My heart says...
I don't think, i don't understand, i don't argue.
All i do is see, all i do is feel, all i do is speak myself out.
I ask- I have a heart, i have brains too; why do you differ? Why can't you unite? Why can't you submerge in each other?
They say: we are two different horizons all together, poles apart.
We are meant to guide you in your tough times and easy ones too, we are meant to be their for you all the time you need someone to talk to, someone to argue with.
We are meant to make both the fronts clear for you to choose the right path, the right situation, the right time and the right action.

What a Shit life you are living!!!
Money, Luxury, Comfort….
What shit is that?
It’s like being a dung insect and collecting shit;
Loads of it and dying in it.
For people like you….
Rest of your life will be on a desk;
Counting Accounts, Balancing Balance sheets.
So finally you will end up marrying,
With naughty children and fat, fat body;
Living a life bound by the strict orthodox chain of thoughts.
What about John Keats, Ernesto Che Guvera,
Vincent Van Gouh, Stephen Hawkins?
Do you know the life in a Wooden House facing the snow storm?
Do you know the smile that the first drop of rain brings to the face of Earth?
Have you ever backpacked and lived in Ladakh?
Do you know what the north-east morning smells like?
Do you know how it is to make love to the person you love?
Do you know how it is to wake up next to the person you can die for?
You would say-
“That I m talking all in air!!!
Money is still in existence.”
To those, I would say:
“Rape, Prostitution, Child Flesh Trade, Murders, Drug Addictions…
They are in existence too…
So do you follow that too?”
Don’t give me these shit excuses for your Materialistic Needs!!!
God what a Materialistic shit you are!!!
What a Shit life you are living!!!
