Random Thoughts

it seems pure work and being an workaholic does weaken your body, but also gives strength to your soul. There is a small PCO shop just outside canteen where a couple sit and sell mobile phone cards etc. They have a daughter who studies in school ( I know this because she usually wears school uniform) but spends all her time in the shop after coming from it.

And this is what I dont like. Her mother has to live in the shop because the girl's father can't see properly (either he is blind, or only marginally better than that). The girl can't remain in her home alone and so she is forced to live in the shop. This wastes lots of time, since she can't study at all. Once I had gone to the shop to buy something, and overheard the father telling the girl to sit and study in a phone cubicle while no customer was there. how much she would be able to concentrate with customers coming and going around is everybody's guess. but what will happen to her self - confidence ? forced to step out of her seating place every 5 mins because of a stranger, i won't be surprised if she grows up to be timid and despising every bit of society.

i really want to help her, but dont know how. maybe someday when i have enough money i will come back to this place and give her parents enough money to give her a good education and some good clothes (once during our cultural festival she was wearing a colorful dress which obviously was not expensive, but you could see her face bristling with joy. Poor child). sometimes i get really sad because i dont have any sister. But perhaps God didn't want me to have any, so that i could have hundreds of them when i grow up.
