Unfortunate Stories

Modern World... age of Science & Technology, Shopping Malls, Sky scrappers, Internet, Social Networking. Space programs to other planets and their moons, new energy techniques....Sounds so fancy n COOL. We feel proud how our country and other countries are progressing. Sometimes we think, what we see n read in Science-fiction movies n books can become reality.May be someday we'll plan our holidays on Jupiter. 

But Stall for a moment... stop there.

There exist a parallel world which is exact opposite of what you just read. More than 40% of population is living in inhabitable conditions.... Some are victims of Nature and many are victims of Human race's actions n rejections. An acerbic reality. 

To witness it or catch a glimpse of it... it is not at all necessary to go to an under developed African Nation or  a disaster prone area. You can get a fair idea by just getting out of your comfort zone.

Thing is we see those unlucky creatures strolling around us on daily basis..... but given the insensitivity/resistance we have developed, for us they r either negligible or just a spot in the beautification of city.

We are so much engrossed in our own lives that things like welfare, help,charity sounds too trivial to do or even to think. 

An unfortunate Story:

 This is the story of a man who has lost his entire family in Tsunami and it goes like this-

_______________________________________________________________ 

Flood Victim !!

Devastated, destroyed

his dreams were.

With his family swept in waves

he was wandering in nowhere.

Homeless n clueless 

numb as a beggar. 

Tsunami swept

his family before
He survived

but, he wasn't alive anymore. 

Wiring of his head

faulted n messed up.

Millions like others

He too is a Lost Cause.

A Nobody who is screwed up. 

Day-Night, Week and Months  

now tricks his brain

like a cataleptic 

he doesn't know 

What is When ??

Zillions of similar stories with variations can be traced... It was just a single instance...

Another unfortunate story: 

A story of a 21st century well-educated Human Being. Fetching decent amount of salary and living life in full swing. It goes like this-

___________________________________________________________________

21st century professional.

In 21st Modern Century 

only Me, Myself and I are cared

who gives a shit about Rest.. 

They are God's property 

How can someone like Me can invest

my money, my time

I am already pressed

self-molested n distressed. 

Things like

Care, help, sympathy, charity 

are in my list of detest. 

I am living in a world 
developed n well-progressed. 
In which only people other than ME
are eligible, should be contacted 
and addressed. Because
Welfare, Altruism are not the type of clothes
in which a person like ME can get dressed.

Now tell me Which story was more unfortunate ??

 Tragedy lies in both. But which one was gross.Which poses more danger ?? 

PS: In my last post Beware-Incredibly Contagious many of my friends suggested that "Smile" and "Happiness" too are equally contagious. This is to tell them that Yeah you guys are absolutely right and please "Be the carrier of this diseases :P
