Child Caught Red-Handed Carrying Toxic Burden


(Report by: SAVE THE CHILDREN ASSOCIATION)

The so called future of the country was found in despair when a student was caught red-handed by some aware and provoked citizens carrying an unusual burden on his head. Though he looked quite innocent on his face, but people were able to grasp the kind of panic he had while carrying it. When he was questioned for carrying such an inappropriate item at his age, the only thing he could answer was, “expectations”. There was a sense of disorder for some time among the crowd though it settled drastically with another blistering break-through made by the child. He took the name of his parents for forcing him to carry the toxic “expectations” over his mediocre head. Rage broke through with such devastating fact coming into lime-light. Parents were called on the spot of the event, and questioned severely by the locals. They went into a trauma while people placed allegations over them. The child was placed into a separate cell where he uncovered the whole mishap.

Child also revealed other harmful facts which he was carrying within him. He was found to carry expectations with several dreams forced on him by his parents. There were several time-bounded limitations found in his baggage of burden in addition to an excessive amount of pressure. The child went unconscious after some time.

“It would take him time to come out of the mental assault that has been made on his thoughtful childish mind”, as the medical reports says. Doctors told the media that some prohibited medication was found to be present in his body to enhance his capability to carry the load. Child underwent severe burdenisation in his school, coaching and at home as well. He was toxified with threat at all three places which resulted in his bad performance. Though the reason wasn’t identified by neither his parents nor his teachers. He was constantly tormented over his poor grades and was never encouraged in any field of his interests. “Though the child is just saved, it’s still a dangerous period for him to survive in the near future”, the doctor’s said.

State Chief Minister, Mr. XYZ, has announced a rehabilitation package for such “Normal Behaviour Retarded” students for their welfare and development. He also declared to give away support and encouragement to the NGO’s and the aware citizens who would act in directions of saving such victimised children in any reference. On the very occasion, he also urged the citizens of the city to report any such discrepant activity carried forward by any of the parent, teacher or any other fellow citizen freely to the nearby NGO or responsible organization.

Road To Independence

So finally, the day has arrived. I am not talking about the judgement day here, but I am referring to that historic day which leads each and every Indian loyal and worthy for its country. Yes, I am talking about our Independence Day .The moment 15^th August arrives, everyone would start chanting that every patriotic song that they would remember. Everyone would be dipped in tri- colours from tip to their toes.

But the basic question is, why are all these things validated merely for a day? Aren’t we independent the rest of the 364 days? Was the freedom fight fought to celebrate a national holiday? Aren’t we Indians for the rest of our life except each 15^th of August’s?

I was asked to write about the road that was taken to gain our freedom. When I started writing, it felt pretty easy to measure all the facts and articulate them somehow. However, India didn’t give me that ease. And why should she? Indian freedom required sacrifices, then how could I just scramble them in words that easily?

Well, when I first thought about initiating my article, I thought of the freedom fight and the sacrifices and hardships given and faced by the people at that time. But when I pondered over it again, the fact that struck my mind was, when I am supposed to present my views over the path of freedom, would it be justifiable to write about the path of India’s development from the period when it was a slave to what it is now, just by merely reading some known facts? Isn’t it necessary to bring some of those facts in limelight which never come out publically? As a writer, isn’t it my responsibility to view all the dimensions with same code of observation without being bias over anything? And when I haven’t been in that period of hardships, how can I practically be unbiased to anything?

So, anyone expecting this material to be regular patriotic bloggy stuff, I am really sorry for your disappointment.However I would try to do complete justice with the relevance of the topic.

Well, I am a person of an age where mostly no one talks about the past. No one cares about what happened, or whatever anyone did to gain our freedom. No one is interested in what Bal Gangadhar Tilak suggested or what strategies Bhagat Singh tried to follow? Infact, some of us wouldn’t even be knowing these names, except that of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, sole reason being that his photo is on every Indian paper currency.

My point is, all these people gave their life’s to gain independence from a foreign rule, but what about the freedom from the slavery we are facing today? Does forming a democratic government means we are free? Does being able to study at will mean freedom? Does being able to roam around on streets anytime means we are no more a slave?

And my obvious answer is, No!!

Today we don’t have threat from any foreign ruler or any outsider, but we feel most insecured from our own people. Our freedom didn’t meant just acquiring our rights, but it meant our freedom from any such feeling which would lead us to slavery again. Unfortunately, we haven’t got this freedom yet. We are still under the control of differences and lack of oneness. Be it any matter, we still are ready to go against each other. So, are we still free?

We are given a right to choose our government because we are a free nation, but we aren’t supposed to act against any disloyal act of our own chosen government. We have been given a right to study as much as we want, but the same right of a deserving candidate is suppressed under the name of donations. Our constitution was formed on the motto of equality and non-discrimination but does this thinking lives in case of girl child killings or in case of their inadequate education? Do people follow the freedom given to them correctly? Aren’t we supposed to be united under this freedom?

However it isn’t about blaming the government or placing allegations over corrupt people or pointing fingers over any indiscripency. It is about us. If we are facing any such problem, it is just because we are the ones creating such problems. If we are facing corruption, it is because we are corrupt. If we blame the government, it’s just blaming ourselves because, we are the government. It’s us, who kill our girl child even before that innocent soul feels her feet.

“Terrorism is a global threat”.

This is one particular statement which is quite commonly heard in today’s scenario .But aren’t the terrorist humans? So, doesn’t it mean that it’s us who encourage terrorism for personal gains or for any other cause?

However being short on space, I won’t get into its elaboration. But the important fact still lives, that it isn’t about commemorating the sacrifices of our martyrs but our freedom lies in fighting the evils which are a threat for us today. The day we are able to eradicate corruption, communalism, personal hatred, poverty and most importantly the feeling of self-imposition, that day we would be known as independent. So, the road to independence doesn’t start from the Indian revolt against the Britishers, but it commences from that every single door which is bounded by the social evils mentioned before. And surely the path is too difficult to follow for everyone. Though the day it is achieved, we would certainly be free. Thus, the road to freedom is yet to be explored and surely it would be discovered.

Why Do I Love Her??????

Technically speaking,I don't know why i am writing this.I mean,when i chose to write over my love,that time i don't know why..i had butterflies in my stomach.And surely they weren't out of nervousness,but because of the dilemma i had..not over a thought,but over an argument...between my heart and my brain.And when these two components of your body have a quarrel,only thing left to do is...... worry!!!

Let me tell you an interesting fact..I love a girl..ok,there isn't much interesting stuff in that.But more important thing is,she doesn't love me.

"What is he trying to convey??".

I know,most of you would be having the same notion by now.But please,i would request your gracious time,as i am a bit slow in unfolding myself.

So,rather than wasting much of your time,i would get started..As if,no one is paying me here per word!!!

Well,this isn't an article nor a story..but an "ARTORY".Was just trying to be a bit cute.

This article or a story or an "ARTORY",revolves around my life and the girl whom i love.How i met her,i couldn't understand,but she was there to stay,that much i understood.It wasn't much after i came to know her,was when i knew..I am in love with her.And surely,rather then thinking anything,i told her everything.

"You aren't in love,its a mere infactuation",a mere reply of her.

She thought she knew me better then me,myself.But that was first time i realized,i hadn't made any mistake.I was in love,whether she accepts it or not.As time went by,my feelings grew stronger,but there weren't any signs of her remoulding her thoughts.Though the best part i knew was,that one day she would!!!

Everyone around tried to demoralize me from my one sided love path,but i was like that bull,which runs over the red scarf,whether he hits it or not.I knew,there isn't stopping myself from this track,until and unless my train gets derailed.She had each and every feeling for me except the one i expected.Though it never pushed me to force my will on her.

For the first time in my life,i felt the urgency of dying when she told me about the person she loves..and certainly,it wasn't me.

"Choose either him or me".

This was the first thing that popped up in my mind which i wanted to say to her.But i don't know,something within me pulled me back.Whether it was my lost heart which felt deprived of the right to say anything to her,or my excess love for her,who wanted to stay close to her even as a lost lover!!

Now i know why lacs of youngsters committ suicide over lost love.Because now i can feel that pain and sense of loneliness.Now i know,how it feels to be compared with someone else who according others is superior then you.And in my case,whomsoever she compares me with,is superior then me in her ways.Whether he is better looking then me,or better paid then me,or better qualified.I am a diminear for her in each and every respect.

But apart from all these allegations i placed on her,there something within me ,convincing me that whatever happens,i have to be there for her.What if she feels lonely?what if she is sad?what if she is hurt?what if she is in some trouble?
wouldn't she require me then?wouldn't she need me?

Though i know,whatsoever be the situation,whether she would need me or not..I still know that she is incomplete without me.I know each and everything about her which sometimes she doesn't knows.But still i had butterflies after knowing so many things?


And the obvious answer is...NO.

I never had felt a tinge in my stomach because i knew so many things..But it was because i wasn't able to grasp that one little thing which led me to think about all these stuffs.And that was....Why am i having these emotions?
I was more tensed to write about my love as i knew,if someone asks me about my feelings after placing so many allegations,I won't be able to answer.I knew,i couldn't think of any reason or any answer in reply to any queries related to my love for her.

Because,there is where the question lies.Not for anyone else,but for me from within.If there are so many odds about her,then still why????

WHY DO I LOVE HER?
