Contrasting reality
Some days ago I attended a wedding ceremony of one of my friends. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed ourselves. We also enjoyed the feast. Finally the occasion came to an end and I was walking along the footpath to get a rickshaw. On the footpath I noticed the poor people, the sons and daughters of hapless families. A family was having their dinner. Some rice and one or two pieces of meat like substance (probably they collected or bought the same from a hotel at noon).
Apparently they loved the meal as they were eating with a sparkle of delight in their eyes. All my joys vanished at the scene. It is true that in society there will be classes and some people will be in better condition than others.
But in our country the difference seems to be too much and I wonder if it will ever decrease.
