is there a ray of hope??!!


I was just relaxing listening 2 music.....after a loooong hectic week....n  was disturbed by  faint beats frm far....i concentrated as it neared me.....as the beats of the drums grew louder and faster....i came out of my room into d balcony 2 c watz goin on.....ther was this small girl of arnd 6 years trying 2 balance on a tight rope tied high with a long stick in her hands 2 balance herself.....trying 2 impress d people around as she continued walking on the rope with wheel....plate etc etc.....as a man n a woman ( i guess her parents) with 2 more small babies were thumping on those drums making irregular beats....                 i cud c people around her watching with awe...with few kids enjoying the show.....bt isnt it too much for a small kid of 5..6 years to risk her life just 2 earn a few bucks for her family,.....n as she went on begging n collecting money frm people nearby in the rain...her shameless parents were relaxing under a shade....i literally cud feel my moist eyes....smtimes i feel v shud smthing for these kids.....in some way...mayb by giving money...food or msthing else...v r encouraging her parents 2 go on wid these kinda business......bt is she goin 2 find a better future ever in her life???!!! NO!!                    she is being deprived of regular schooling jst bcoz her family is too lazy or helpless and shez d only bread winner,...... imagine d plight of d kid....she has no othr life.....she cant go 2 school unlike d othr kids...she cant play happily....at her tender age....shez being burdened wid soooo many responsibilities....... no1 comes 2 help or support her......dont even hav a right 2 dream.......
                 ther r soooo many kids all around us who r wasting their lives either begging.....or doing small odd jobs forcefully 2 meet d needs of their families....or ther r othr children who jst roam on d streets getting into thefts n all  d unhealthy practices......cant v really do nething for such kids??!! d sooo called institutions which claim 2 b wrking for these kids are nt soo successful!! they r jst providing food n books (which they later sell or jst throw away) 2 children for a day or so....n then these kids r bak 2 their normal routine.......
               showing mere sympathy is not gonna wrk out......it will smhow turn out 2 b more dangerous 4 d coming generations...!!! kids r d future of our country n here they r balancing their lives risking jst 4 a few crumbs of bread!!!! :(
