Is life really a bed of roses??
"I was unhappy I had no shoes...until I met a man who had no feet"...recently I saw this saying from one of my PG mates...and yes I think this is absolutely true ,for it makes a lot of meaning for me.Not that Iam unhappy and dissatisfied with what I have..but the real picture what I have seen a few days back changed my outlook towards life. Iam not going to speak BIG throughout this post rather Iam speaking the FACTS ...which I came to know; thanks to my project!
My project is about the design of a prosthetic limb..so in this process we need to visit many hospitals and manufacturing centres which make these prosthetic limbs.My guide advised us to go to a manufacturing center which is near to my house(Iam lucky it is near to my house..or else I would not have gone to that place) and record the details of the existing designs of some limbs,arms..etc;I fixed a date and last week I went to the manufacturing center with one of my project mates.We were received well by the authorities over there and they showed us the types of limbs that are being manufactured there .Some workers also showed the way they manufacute those limbs.When we were about to return,they mentioned that there is also a hospital under their control ..till then we thought that it was only a manufacturing center but we were surprised to hear that they were also maintaining a hospital for amputees ..everything free of cost!!We thought that we should visit the hospital too as it was not too far from the manufacturing center.On the gateway to the hospital I saw many physically challenged people laying on the floor,moaning among themselves..the scene inside the hospital was heart breaking..they were not properly cared ...there were many handicapped people some without foot,some without ankles,some without leg...and the scence there was extremenly sorrowful.I was fully depressed and I couldnt speak a single word...rather became dumb. I should mention that it is only a example to show how much gap there is between the rich and poor in our country.While the rich are enjoying all the aminities with world class facilities being done to them..it is th poor who are suffering.Even the funds that are given to improve the conditions are being misused..the best example is the hospital which I have mentioned... Though the politicians boost that our country is developing and the figures of GDP show that ours is one of the fastest developing countrys in the world the actual scenes and actual figures show that there is much to do.And I think as youth ,it is our responsibility to do our best in improving the condition.Thse saying Life is a bed of roses is not true for many people in our country...infact it is not apt for almost all the sects of people
