Mumbai, our country's Financial Capital, the city of dreams, so to say... but is it really true!! Every nook and corner of our city is lined with slums, garbage, beggars, drug addicts!!! Why do we turn our face away when we see a heroin addtic lying on the road? Why do we start walking away from the lepers that roam the street? Because we dont want our minds or are bodies near them. They are dirty,thats the thought in our mind. But a unsaid thought. No one will go out of their way to help. Its too much botheration, in the daily routine.
Its true. Its a pity though, cause this city will never grow, humanely, nor will the country. Hundreds of people die on the roads, due to the lack of food, water and shelter. They die, cause the richer keeps getting richer and the poorer keep getting poorer. How many of us will part happily with a 500 rupee note and give it to someon on the road? None!! Not even if the income is running into lakhs. How many of us will take that child and feed him/her something? Not even one of us.
The value of life is NILL in our country. The only thing we INDIANS value is MONEY!! and more money.

It’s so true that we value money more than life today. Just the other day Sonalika and I were at Jogeshwari station for some work. That place is crazy, it is so crowded, u can only move inch by inch. Now in the middle of the crowd and chaos, there was this man on the floor, totally passed out (because of alcohol of course). That sight was freaky. There were thousands of people rushing from one side to the other, leading their normal lives, and in the midst of their routine was this drunken fellow who was there since I don’t know how long!! Not one person bent to help him to the side or bring him to consciousness. I thought of him when I went back home as well… and even though I am saying all this, I wonder why I couldn’t stop and help him…..
We need to wake up to humanity.
I totally agree with you,but its human nature to be selfish!!
And to answer your question mostly none of us would part with the 500 rupee note but we ll happily blow it away on booze in a pub.
Money is imporatant no doubt,but humanity comes first and thats where we indians take a back seat!!!
