Maternity Bogie
A pregnant woman is a symbol of a continuing legacy and a child is a sublime image of innocence and unconditional love. Care, tenderness and protecting instinct comes naturally in an individual’s attitude while dealing with children and pregnant women. They automatically pull everyone’s attention and are pampered with anything and everything. Their wish is a command for the family members, friends and even strangers. But the scene terms exactly opposite when they enter the Mumbai local trains.
Mumbai local trains, known for their ruthlessness, suffocation, crowdedness, stand as a one word world that should not be a part of their life. But helplessness, necessity and lack of alternatives leaves them with no option. The prattles, the hues, the cries and frustrations are what they definitely don’t deserve.
Isn’t there any solution to relieve them out of this distress? If our railway government choose to be sensitive on this issue, we can have an additional bogie which is dedicated for mothers traveling with infants and pregnant women. As they are ones either bearing our future generation or are a part of the future generation, we surely need to ‘Handle them with Care’. Hope along with ladies compartment, handicap compartment, we soon have a Maternity Bogie.
Happiness,

But only if wishes were horses...
You know Kally sometimes i wonder are we asking for too much or we r demanding just the basics.There are so many issues at hand, the problem of urchins.The way kids beg at the streets while the world moves ahead ignorant of their presence as always.Mothers looking for ways to feed their kids in this ruthless city and also simutaneously trying to protect their modesty.When i see their plight i feel that we are asking and expecting too much of life and this so called democracy.The way things are moving i doubt whether they will change and still i read in Newspapers "Indian Economy growing at 9% per annum", Strange are the ways of this world....But as they say "If u think u will lose, u have already lost"....So lets not lose hope and try to be part of the solution..Coz as they say in each situation u have 2 choices...one good and the other bad.It depends on the person which one he/she chooses.
So what if we dont have Maternity Bogies we need to make the optimum use of the resources at hand. Now the next question is how? The first step would be to offer seats to these old,pregnant ladies.It is a small thing but it will make some difference. Who knows that after seeing u someone else also starts offering her seat and a chain follows.
Lets not wait for the government to do everything..Lets develop our civic sense and compassion for our fellow Indians.
Have to write a lot of things but this is what i can think in this short time that i have..
Enjoy...
