Three passions have governed my life till now…… The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. There is a reason for each and every….Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of people.I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, But always pity brought me back to earth… Cries of pain reverberated in my heart…Of children who want to study….want to work hard but due to one reason or the other they are left behind in the crowd…I long to alleviate the evil……
That was just the opening shot…I am writing today because today was the day the upper society superficiality pinched me too much…means ki all these upper society or rather say Companies are so media savvy that they do everything for geting that bluddy cheap publicity and then present it as CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILTY…..
I was really looking forward to this evening as some of the distinguished guests were visiting my second home…So it all started at 5 in the evening..They are in a bigger number than us…can say 50 vs 25….Here i just want to make clear that 50 were those who belong to our society i.e they were representing some company…and 25 of us were down trodden (as percieved by those 50 people)…So this 50 was there to have an interaction session with 25 of us…They started with there performance of dance then singing and last one is a play….The talent is no less in 25 of us….kids performed one parody which includes dancing and then a dance which was scintilaaating effort of those kids…..So 50 of those people were taken aback……
But this superficial word is full of dikhawa….and this media is also not presenting the true picture…They also manipulate the things in such a way ki it sells….To tell you the instance media was also present there(I mean at interaction session)…So as these 25 kids were performing he asked the company head to intruct his 50 people to start clapping with the performance….and stood behind those kids so that ki he gets the best shot and can make a headline ki ” some bla bla company making these slum kids happy “. The media man was also explaining to the company people ki it will benifit you….So all the geometry changed as soon as this command came from the company head…All these 50 were standing an d clapping for these kids….I know this made these kids happy for s moment BUT I know the reality why they stand up why they clap…there intention was not to make these kids happy but pose for the photograph which might help them showing their clients or public ki how much they are socially educated……
I was really moved because all the things which were happening was just a publicity stunt……As soon as the media reached they started giving gifts to those kids…flowers were given….And that company head was busy talking to media….tell them ki they are doing all this for these kids…and in reality nothing like dat…sheer dhakoslapan what i say….
Everything is just show off. Some other company gave some gift to these kids…and when the function was over they were calling back to us ki please talk the news paper media ki please hamare chief ki photo must aani chahiye….wat is this….i cant understand….
If you want really do something for these kids….you can do ample man….and i must say i am not asking for funds and all….You can just come once in a weekend from your busy schedule and deliver short talk…interact with those kids…This will make them happy in real sense more than that publicity game which all these big companies play…..
I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again……
