in this world we boast about technology, boast about sending man to the mars, boast about security, boast about science , boast about preventing things like SARS AIDS etc, boast about sporting developments, boast about missiles, boast about power,boast about our satellites and so many other things, it seems like we are living in a really perfect world without any complications with all the luxuries and comforts surrounding us
Is it true that i am a part of the same world in which this boy lives is what i asked myself when i saw this picture... what is the biggest problem that the world is facing today?? the ones that come first to our mind are terrorism , racism,drug mafia, AIDS etc... but one problem dominates all these things coz the other problems are born just to satisfy this one thing HUNGER
according to a recent united nations estimate , out of 6.7 billion people living in this world 1.02 billion people are hungry .. a number as high as the indian population dont have food to eat in this world, an even bitter fact is that a person dies of hunger related disease every 3.6 seconds in this world and the most annoying thing is that 75 percent of those dying are children.. 24000 young lives are lost everyday because of HUNGER...
yes, hunger is the biggest complication in the world, it is more complicated than fear and pain. We think fear and pain are the biggest complications because most of us havent faced hunger, hardly a day passes without eating food, but in some parts of the world there are people who hardly eat once in a week. imagine a day in our lives where we are left in a place where there is no food and water , it would be such a horrific situation but the sad thing is that the world is facing such a problem everyday.
i want to tell a real life story that happened very recently, there was a boy jst like the one in the pic. one would find him everyday near lb nagar bus stand roaming around, oneday jst like all other days he was roaming in that area and my frnd happened to be there, he was very weak as usual and nobody bothered much .. after somtime my frnd who was at the bus stand observed a small gathereing around somthing, without hiding his anxiety he went to that place to check out what had happened,, that lil boy was lying on the ground with ahalf eaten banana in his hand,, he was dead and he died of hunger. lets decide for ourselves on this , are we really that selfish that we couldnt do anything to that kid,, i think the only reason the world lost that kid was our unawareness on hunger.
HUNGER is one thing in this world that doesnt have an answer or an alternative. I really find a selfish reason to pray and thank god everyday for the food that i get and making my stomach full. we do all knds of things in this world and all the trades start and end at only one point "keeping our stomachs full" but we havent succeded in this aspect... lets join hands in this fight against hunger and prove that we are all brothers on this earth by caring and sharing for the unprivileged.
A very well composed n a well drafted poised post on issue which looks so common,because of the number of times we hear or see people speaking about it in our daily lives..BUT although deserved the very desired attention!!!
