Towards the Future: A small article.

What do you allow to grip your mind? Is it Ambition, Fear, Love, Lust, Peace, Pain, Paradise, Death, Family, Job, Freedom or is it something else? Do you live in a self created Limbo where objects are aligned accordingly or does it follow the Brownian Motion? How would it appear, your mind, if you were to stand out of it for a while and be able to stare into it? Would you want to make any changes to it? May be add a few more bytes of memory or may be erase some? Our memories are infinite unlike a computer's memory, but would you still want it to be infinite? How about deleting some junk, some hurtful moments and adding joy that we so cherished in our childhood? 

When you see a hungry child wandering through the rubble for a morsel of food, what does it evoke in you? Guilt? Disdain? Emptiness? How about a swanky car passing by the child evoke in you? Delight, Adrenalin? And what does a diamond necklace in the safety of a bank locker mean to you? Pride? Possession? Ancestry? Cherished relic? 

Let's delete all this. Its too abstract. It is too mundane. Now lets add something better. It is the same child but he is no more on a heap of rubble foraging through the filth for food. Instead he is now in foster care. He just had his dinner and now he is reading Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist under the bed light, yes, he has a bed now, a roof over his head and some clean clothes to wear which he washes himself. He looks healthy, happy and he has friends too, some like him, others a bit different. He relates himself to the suffering of Oliver Twist and prays to the almighty for the wonderful life ahead. He hopes his dark past is left behind him forever. It seems he has a future to look forward to and he dreams of an adventure of similar kind. How did it happen? How was he transformed from a slum child into someone who could dream of contributing to the future of this country?

He thanked God, but unknown to him, it was you who made all this possible. A simple choice to act. A trifle contribution made by you has kindled hope in a child's life. How does it make you feel to dream of being the pivot of the generations to come? Let this thought grip your mind for a while. Let it linger. Let it merge and be a part of you.

Lets contribute to a better future-
