Today I was just sitting in my mess today when a thought passed my mind triggered by nothing more than me seeing an event I see everyday and sometimes many times a day, but today it implored me to think..... to think of all the times I neglected what I saw... all the times I just accepted it as something so very everyday that it could be left on the periphery of my vision of the world........
The thing I witnessed was no rare occurrence in the country i reside in an an event which has left me thinking right now will pass me by a gain tomorrow and i will forget once again....
but before that happens I thought should vent my thoughts on it......
what ran through my mind was not shock, awe or any such strong emotion...... i didnt feel any strange urge to suddenly change the situation i witnessed not to engage in any battle to fight it....
i guess by now you must kinda be scratching your heads as to what the heck i am talking bout and whether reading this post is worth it at all or just ramblings of a teenage lunatic.....
well the thing i saw today was a person of the age of 'i dont know' but clearly still in the adolescence of his life if not the youth of it working the tables at my mess....
once again you may feel yeah right so what we all know that child labour is a problem in India so what
but what passed through my mind wasnt the feeling of wanting to combat child labour or any thing of that sort....
They were simple questions...... when is innocence lost????
when does taking away the youthful exuberance of life become justified?
when does anyone get to decide that the other is ready for responsibility?
when do we get to see the spark in a young ones eyes be lost in the darkness of the cruel world?
Im still thinkin bout all of this n i dont know whether i will ever find answers to these questions but all i can say is that the act of a spark in someones eyes dying is not something i want to experience for myself again.... and i kinda want to promise my self that no matter what i will decide the time my innocence is to be lost......
till next time
See-Ya!!!!
