Here We Are Now




Two images.One of a wounded child begging in Connaught Place(Clicked by me).The other of billionaire,socialite Vijay Mallya.Both revealing a different obscenity.One,the obscenity and indignity of poverty.The other,an ostentatious exhibition of affluence and supeficiality,almost grotesque in nature.

This is what we have to show for 60 years of self-governance.A nation divided on the lines of Region,Religion,Caste,Economic Status and so much more.

I do not say there is no hope.The hope is me.The hope is you. The pain in me,is the pain in you.

A very meaningful (and timely) post. Makes one wonder how much more will these inequalities widen
