Simply moving! The write-up indeed struck a chord! And am sure I am not the only one. I sincerely hope that this article has hit a mainstream publication so the luckier or the blessed lot may read it and actually take some proactive steps! We, the so called rising educated and privileged citizens of India are so engrossed in ourselves that there is this general apathy towards everything except acquiring wealth! While doing my masters, I used to work for this NGO caring for abadoned animals! Wonder why I failed to see the misery of fellow human beings who could have used some help however small it may be!Ammuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12878483231848703796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311077.post-1129396531313941952005-10-15T22:45:31.313+05:302005-10-15T22:45:31.313+05:30I read the third post first... this one was even more sad... maybe cos she has no other way to go and the retarded child.

And I find it fucking disgusting that people are commenting on how good the story was, and how you are giving suketu mehta (who the fuck is he ?)

Your writing reflects a genuine empathy for the dispossessed so rare in Indian media and its readers. Simple, unselfconscious, self effacing, unpretentious writing that allows the real story to make an impact. More stories please and who knows may be you can change the world.
