“Mehengai badti hai par iska matlab ye nahi hai ki aap apni kamai ko daru me laga do , baaki modi sarkar aa gyi hai sab theek ho jayega” Me: “apni bahchon ke bare me socho , ki vo aapko dekh ke bole ki mere papa hai, mere liye ye karte hai.
I was coming back from college after dropping my good friend Monika, it was around 9:30 at sikanderpur metro station.
Took a rickshaw wala as usual from there to u block,
en route he stopped the rickshaw I asked him why he said he has to pee, It didn’t take me long to figure out he was drunk. Then while on the road he keeps asking me to hold
tight the vehicle using both my hands
on being asked why he kept on repeating
“darr lagta hai saheb.”
he kept on repeating this phrase in the mix of some other things that I couldn’t figure out.
whence we are off the main road to that of society, and the traffic noise is less, I could now hear what he was saying clearly
He was repeating the price of some items then saying “ye 150 rupaiya, ye 330 rupaiya, and so on so forth.”
I then realized how hard their lives are.
They the people who occupy the lowest place in the hierarchy are the one being mutilated the most, each revolution interchange the position of higher and middle man but
the sad truth is that the situation of people in lower part always remains the same

I then remember about a post from facebook where a person was giving charitable money to people with the bad financial health
I guided him to a place where not many people are to overhear us
I gave him 500 rupees saying,
Me: “bhaiya main aapko 500 rupaiya de rha hun, par aapko vada Karna padega ki aap is paise se daru nahi piyoge,
He tried to verify the note in the dark and then
He asked: “ye jali note to nahi hai saheb?”
Me: “nahi bhaiya main aapko aapki kamai ke 30 rupaiya bhi de rha hun”
I then said:
“Mehengai badti hai par iska matlab ye nahi hai ki aap apni kamai ko daru me laga do , baaki modi sarkar aa gyi hai sab theek ho jayega”
“aapki family hai? bache?”
He said: “haan ”
Me: “apni bahchon ke bare me socho , ki vo aapko dekh ke bole ki mere papa hai, mere liye ye karte hai. Aur aap to rickshaw chalate ho raat me , in gadi walon ka kuch
nahi hai kab kaun thok ke chala gya , daru pe ke mat chalaya karo raat me”
He grabbed both my hand and said: “nahi saheb main nahi piyunga, kabhi wapas milna aap.”
then I went towards my home which was a block away from that place.
we always say things about contributing some part of our wealth to underprivileged section of society through NGO and others
but how many of us actually want to know them, their problems,
have a conversation with them which may give them hope that “all is not lost” I am neither a supporter of Modi or any political party as of but if the term Modi Sarkar gives people hope and motivate them to do good, to change their current scenario to a brighter one then,
seetee baja ke bol bhaiya
“All is well.”
