आज तक - Breaking News
Ohh, forgot to tell you the news. Check the TV grabs below -
Where else can you get news of such high national interest, but Aaj Tak. Even the mix of two news items is superb. Check the bottom of 2nd pick. 'Chhajje pe phasi billi' 'unhe kshetravadi vivado mei na ghasite' - which translates to - "Cat stuck on roof - don't drag him in regional dispute". Wow. Now, who wants to drag the kitty in such a dispute. That's really worth national attention. Go figure.
Today's headlines...
I followed up on the news after a long time and all I get is the following:
10 year old children are used in place of oxen to plough farm lands as they say tractors cant be used here and it is not possible to get oxen. So all they get is 10 yr old children?
And when the Minister for Child Welfare is posed with the situation and is asked questions he says "what's wrong if the children do some work for their living?"
If the Minister of Child Welfare speaks as such, I can only imagine the work he's been doing for the welfare of children in the country!
How can people be so irresponsible!
Another example of extreme sense of responsibility was shown by Doctors in a hospital in Gurgaon who turned away a woman who was about to deliver, stating that her case was too complicated and the consequence was that she delivered in the parking lot and the baby died for the lack of care and treatment.
Do such Doctors even deserve a license to practice? Are they suitably employed?
Are such Doctors and Ministers going to help us in our dreams of becoming a prosperous country?
The obvious answer is HELL NO.
We can be upbeat about the stock markets, about the exponentially growing IT exports and blah blah blah. But what about the other undisclosed face of the country where babies dont earn the right to live because they belong to poor parents, where 10 yr olds plough fields in lieu of oxen 10 hrs a day and are not even allowed to complain?
Damn this hurts me.
