This is earth, not an exam hall

Struggle for existence is a old phrase and should not impose on human race any more. This phrase born when kings ruled the world. India is now a democratic country. We need a minimum equality in money, respect, luxury .Someone lives his entire life in paddle rickshaw and some takes his evening tea in five star hotel, is not fair at all. The jobs those are against humanity should be abolished .Jobs like running paddle rickshaw ,begging with almost naked body,selling product in train or bus and many more like this should be abolished from the country . Government should flood money to the general people so that they live respectful and luxury life.  If birth can be controlled by “we two and our two” policy, then why not poverty by applying economic theories to the country, where we have won one noble prize in this field. Cheap level labour should vanish .Well payment for minimum labour will create lots of job and happy family .I really hate struggle for existence because if we struggle then this earth is not a gift to us but a punishment. I really hate government when man runs a paddle rickshaw to get his bread .I hate government when someone begs in the road almost naked body.BPL card for selected products is like a “laksman rakha” in “RAMAYAN” .But how long.

I stay at city and often visit my village where I have farm house .I hate government like hell when I find people in clay house with kerosene lamp in my village and say “ babu valo acho” .

Tears come when I find economic theories are made for questions papers only or may be for private companies.  

A recent incident catches my eyes which was heart breaking .Like every year government was building pitch road in my locality. Before the roller move, I found four women were cleaning the road with hand brush as like they were cleaning their own garden to remove unwanted grass. This continued for few days. I bear the pain buried deep in my heart but it surprised me when I found MORAM in two side of pitch road. This MORAM is new addition by new government of WestBengal . MORAM is found in Paschim Medinipur  .That means ‘didi’ , our new government has brought MORAM and labour from pascim medinipur, my childhood place.

Silent ‘Nights’ in city whisper how long they will clean road for you. ‘Morning’ city crack joke long, too long. Its like a mystery solved but solution beyond control or not applied.

Didi put some pitch in my village too, put large money in their hand too. But if you can put rs 500 in their hand in a day for 5 stone  they put in the bucket from road to clean it, if you can make human labour such costly , and products in cheapest that day you will find golden tears in millions eyes .
