Child Labour , also referred to as ‘Bal Majduri’ in India is a sin prevalent in our country since ages. Needless to mention , it’s a situation where destitute children are strained to make fast buck by working and are deprived of their basic rights- Live, Learn And Play.

In each child, there lies a blend of instinct & an urge to follow his/her sweven so that they can be what they want to be. On one side, affluent children are living a life of leisure, happiness and autarchy where their view of the world is exquisite. Yet, they’ve got to see the brightest side of the wicked world. Viewing the other side, Life is full of hardships, where the life of millions of children still revolves around dwelling in stinky slums, indulged in intensive labour, struggling to earn and are even beaten up if they disagree such miserable life. Adding to it, children are even forced to beg outside temples, tea shops, traffic signals, etc. Children are doing things that were never meant for them. Children cleaning streets, sweeping railway stations, working in factories, toiling at construction sites; children working as servants, begging, serving at hotels, washing clothes, selling tea. This list is endless and it is extremely brutal.

Misery, Abjection and Gloom are the ingredients of their life. While everyone is in deep slumber, these children are up in the mornings, cleaning up the mess. It’s going to get much worse each day with traumatised children. Not given a chance to make their voice heard, beaten up at work, living in miserable situation, they need to be paid their due. The acumen lies in the poor cause of them not being given a chance to lead to life of their own willing. Their life lies in the hands of the people they work for and hence, their own wishes and dreams are buried deep inside. .When children are employed, they are exploited and abused. It affects their heath as well as overall development since they are deprived of their education and recreation.

To conclude with a broader thought on our myriad Child Labour Programmes and schemes that have been in place for decades and suffer from endemic corruption and poor implementation. Yet, Business as usual continues.

How long will the children suffer whose only erratum is being belonging to an impoverished family?

Spare a thought for such children working around us, with a spark in their eyes to live, learn and play and take a requisite action at your level to their rescue and rehabilitation. Now is the time to look at this harsh reality of our society, to not avoid the truth and to take action. Be a responsible citizen and pledge not to employ child labour. Make a decision to bring happiness in their lives now, and enjoy the privilege of watching them live joyously. HELPING ONE CHILD WON’T CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT FOR THAT ONE CHILD, WORLD WILL CHANGE FOREVER.

Music makes a difference.

What is it about music? What is that power that music has over us , the power to enrapture us and take us through various troughs and crests of emotions ? Whatever it be, there’s no denying that MUSIC IS A POWERFUL TOOL. It is something that connects two otherwise different human beings.

If there’s something to be changed in this World , it can only happen through Music.

For someone like me, who had always been hooked onto typical Bollywood numbers , it had been little tough to improve my taste in music and actually adore the great scene in the world.

I realised that there’s definitely more to music than just Bollywood tracks  , I had been listening since childhood . Music enabled me to discover and explore different albums across the world , different genres  and most importantly , it provides me with a perfect song for a mood ( ecstatic , chilled out , heartbroken , romantic , etc. ) . To break all the barriers as one can  make their  own playlist, Be the boss and live life and enjoy every moment with Music.

Needless to say, Music cannot be overstated in anyway. Music in itself has a revolutionary potential that extends across mere language.

The power of Music yet remains only half realised. It can push us to think and delve us into deep thinking and make us forget all the cares of the world and enjoy the moment. Language, barriers and other cogent things can hardly prevent it from resounding in every nook and corner of world.

We are living in an age where everything is available on a click of mouse. Be it games, books, movies, novels, news, food, etc. Gone are the days, when people used to sit for hours in the library gathering information from different sources.

While sorting out the mess I had made out on my bookshelf couple of weeks ago, I decided to let go off all my books which I do not require anymore, preserved since years. The reason of doing so is my new obsession for E-Books. Never have they complained nor do they make demands. Such is the joy of E-Books. Having my own shelf of books on my tablet  which includes all genres of novels and other referring material, the going gets so phenomenal that I’m always successful in completing it in one go!

E-Books are always with you, wherever you go , more economical price or even free of cost within the comfort of your home and not sweating it out in the sun for your favourite novel, portable and, eco-friendly. The power of reading is amazing. It opens up your mind to great ideas, can transport you to a completely new world and most importantly, inspires you to think beyond the idea of reality. That’s the pleasure I derive while reading E-Books on my tablet.
