“DO or Die”
Recently I read an
article in the ‘open page’ of “the Hindu” dated 25/8/14. It was written by a
lady working in a software company.. young and smart! She wrote about an
incident of child abuse that she had witnessed right in front of her eyes. She
ends the article on a melancholic note, praying and hoping against hopes that
the child is safe, safe in the hands of her parents. She says she had dialled
the helpline number, reported a case of child abuse but as usual there was a no show their side due to ‘lack of evidence’
about the abuser! (Funny how they expect us to know the identity of the
guilty!) But is that all she could have done? Couldn’t she have just gone out
and helped that poor soul who have just started her life on this amazing
planet? Had she done so, couldn’t she have ended the article on a heroic way!!

No! but she didn’t and
alas! See what has happened now..her that one moment of hesitation, her
teeniest lack of courage has given her a life of regrets, a life of shame..
So teens..please do
not hold back because you are scaredabout your life and your safety. Cos I believe
that a ‘valient’ death is definitely better than a ‘shameful’ life!
Leave the agencies
or departments assigned to do so for they never do their work on ‘time’..but
why bother them? Do your part.What if you could some good in this world each
day. The happiness and satisfaction that it could give you is beyond
imagination! Just try it coz I am damn sure that, that ‘happiness’ is a million
more ‘worth’ all the trouble you put in!! J J
