If Poverty could say that it has any other exremity beyond this i would be really amazed..Supa the village where we have been offered a two months village stay in Jhakrkhand is having population which is morethan 98% below poverty line...implying annual income doesnt cross the basic limit of 50k for these families. there are around 12 handpumps in the village but surprisingy just two are functional.. add to more sadness soil here is full of sand not suitable for cultivation..most of the time these people move out for migration to nearby states where they get inhuman treatment...
Electricity never reached village..after 6 p.m. whole village is swallowed by the darkness..none of the houses ever saw brick .cement combination..implying all kutchcta houses..
barely these people manage their two square meals and that too includes rice and potato s lunch as well as dinner..
for us its just a matter of two months ..and as expected we are eagerly waiting when this two months period will end but for them its story for lifetime unless and untill someone comes and puts his/her hand to improve upon the conditions.
Here i could reaize how rich we are...the top 8% rich population of thwe world

मन एक जुलाहा

मन एक जुलाहा फंसी डोर सुलझाना, चाहे सिरा मिले न मिले कोशिश से नहीं कतराना, जाने मन ही मन कि जब तक जीवन तब तक उलझनों का तराना फिर भी डोर सुलझ...
