Apun Kaa Kaam Bantaa Bhaad Men Jaay Janta अपुन का काम बनता, भाड़ में जाय जनता
अपुन का काम काम बनता, भाड़ में जाय जनता
Yesterday I was traveling in Rajdhani Express from Bombay to Delhi. Train halted on Mathura Junction for mandatory stop. I came out to take fresh air and saw three children hardly 10 to 12 years of age outside my compartment.They were begging for money. I had kind and compassionate thought. At the age when other children are going to school, these poor souls begging to meet their basic needs. So I thought let me do some thing for them.
I called one of them and asked him ,'In case you come with me, I will take care of your studies, pay entire fees and all other expenses.
His reply shocked me. He said, ' पैसा देता है तो दे नहीं तो हवा आने दे. अपुन का काम बनता, भाड़ में जाय जनता' literally meaning thereby : If you want to give money fine otherwise do not bother. I am concerned with me, I do not care for others. And thereafter ran away with his other two friends.
A 10 year old boy just made a statement which represent philosophy of large part of Indian population. We have become so selfish that we hardly bother about others.
I observe many ladies even in upmarket apartment houses, after cleaning their flat just throw their garbage from balcony without caring about others. After certain period of time, this garbage outside the building, pavement will be breeding ground for chicken guinea and dengue. We hardly give a second to think that our own wrong doing will harm to the entire community including us.
Leaders are supposed to be a role model for society. Sadly our leaders do not provide that. The moment they get power, their entire energy is focused on earning fat money by hook or by crook. They hardly bother what the Janta will think. Janta also start imitating the leaders. With the result even after 69 years of independence we are not able to set bench marks, despite development, distribution of wealth is alarmingly disproportionate.
Setting benchmark is the last priority. Yesterday I had been to a renowned orthopedic consultant's Nursing Home. He has created a big structure but the basic thing was missing, there was no ramp to
safely transport a patient with broken leg or hand. This small negligence on the part of owner made life of orthopedic patients risky. Contrary to this , western society follow smallest detail in construction, maintenance and delivery.
