life people live ...

right from the time i can remember the basic necessities of life have been food , clothing and shelter . what happens when these basic things are itself denied to an individual ? how does one survive?

this is how thousands of people live in india . yesterday was returning home and the bus was caught up in traffic (as usual) took a peek out of the window and there was this tiny hutment, exploding with people (you shoud ve seen the number of people living inside that tiny place) . the place was so tiny it could ve well been awarded the tiniest room of the world. there was an entire family surviving in that place . it just got me thinking how can a person survive ?

but then seems like they do and hell they manage to have a large number of kids :| . but then it really made me think . and it made me value what i have . i cant even imagine how hard life must be for them. i saw kids who were without proper clothes . i doubt what they must be eating to survive . they are probably never ever going to be educated . they were so malnourished . it was a really sorry sight . what they call their home was made out of plastic. i wonder how many days it would last. even in such a misery that they lived in i saw there was this small kid who was actually smiling totally unaware of all the difficulties life has in store for him . they were in a state of utter poverty.
i really have got most things on a platter. all the times i cribbed and cried for petty things , i dint realize how lucky i was. i never realized getting a meal a day was not as simple as it seemed. i need to thank my parents for making life seem so much easier. i realized the importance of just being able to survive. i think we just need to be really lucky to be what we are . even being able to stand on your two legs, being able to see , hear , speak is something we should be thankful for.
it just got me wondering if those people were really children of a lesser God!
