Realised

From the gloom of waking up to the realisation...

Right through to the tautness burning back of my heart as I coerce it to sleep...

At first I thought it was from tingling shots of fondness...

Those are the warmth of diligence...

I just feel delight..

As I Realised!

Chapter Nine - Neighbour

Ahana: What? Govrav ? Hardhikk: Treat! Govrav’s eyes drop from her and onto her brother, and his face breaks out into the broadest, most genuine smile she have ever seen him wear. Govrav: Wow, nice outfit, dude! Hardhikk: Thanks. Govrav: Do you like chocolates? Hardhikk: Yes! Yes! Govrav:   Well, good news, I have plenty of it. He then tips the entire bowl of chocolates into Hardhikk’s bag. It wasn’t full to begin with, but it’s a hefty amount of candy. Hardhikk: Wow! You’re the coolest! Ahana:   This is so weird to watch. I’ve never seen Govrav be so nice to someone, let alone give anyone a genuine smile. He actually looks.. kind of cute when he smiles like that. Why can’t he be like this all the time? Hey, so… You’re awfully nice. Neighbor. Govrav: What are you talking about? I’m always nice. Ahana: She rolls her eyes, but he put Hardhikk in such good spirits that she don’t fight him on it. Govrav:   What’s your name, kid? Hardhikk: It’s Har...

Paradise Unpaved!

Imagine how hard it is to break up the asphalt with a small pickaxe. It is not even a good one as it has seen so many asphalts and tortured itself to make the way better. Now imagine you’ve been doing it for several days. The sun gets hotter day by day. There is a heaviness on the body, aches you to rest for a while, makes you sweat like a boiling pot, itchy like a bug landing on you.   The dust makes you feel more and more uncomfortable. Sometimes tiny sprinkles of water that wheeling down the black dust on your face. Irretrievable. The job is so unpleasant to imagine. This has been Madhav’s existence for almost a year. Madhav, his pickaxe and the pavement. I have seen him worried that his arms won’t know how to do anything else by the time he gets to stop. Will they remember to buy him colouring notebooks just to see his golden smile. But he never forgets to wear his bright smile in front of his child. Sometimes, he gets to use a shovel to heave the concrete into the circulatin...

Story of Scouring wastes!

Manual scavenging, one of most abominable realities that exist in our country today. The human excreta from dry latrines which scavengers carry and clean. Manual scavenging today, continued in various parts of India, where there is no proper sewage systems or safe facial sludge mangement practices. It is a pure tragedy for a country that is over seven decades into its independence, that a section of population still earn their living by cleaning human excreta. It is even more painful to imagine the exploitation and humiliation that manual scavengers are subjected to. The right to be free from manual scavenging is an economic, social and cultural rights. Digging through the layers of manual scavenging in India. There is a deep-rooted social stigmas attached to it. The issue to has an untold casteist angle to itself. This job has been a "forced labour and slavery" since Dalits has to take up this sure to their discrimination and debt bondage. Movements like Swachh ...
