I will like to start my answer with a quote - A hungry stomach and an empty pocket can teach you the best lessons of life. Because the answer I'm going to write is quite relatable to this quote.
What made me upset today - As everyone knows, there is lockdown all over the country. Just llike everyone, I'm also at my home. Just like everyday, I was sitting in my balcony (Around 11 am) immediately my attention went to the street which is infront of our house, 3 children carrying some vegetables and fruits on a cart and selling it. But no one was buying from them, immediately me and my mother went and bought some tomatoes from them.
In between I had a small conversation with those children. ( Tejas who is 13 , Nikhil is 10 and Rahul who is youngest one is 9 year old.)
I - you know, we have lockdown, but still you are selling vegetables.
I - aren't you afraid of corona?
Tejas - yes bhaiyya , it's very scary but what to do, we have nothing to eat, No job - No earning. That's why we are selling this ( just to support our parents)
I took this photo from my balcony.
It was very sad to hear such a big story from such small children. Then they went ahead to sell.
We are so lucky ( we are safe at our home.)
What about these people?
