No Kids Play

An article in the Indian Express provoked me to write this post, so I am giving it the same head. It claims that there are around 50 children working in the city for their daily bread. We had the same holidays playing cricket and our parents were worried about short term courses we could attend. They earn for their family and themself to get money for their school fees etc etc. But the fact that these greedy craps are paying just 80 - 100 ruppes for 10 hours work makes me flame up. 

I have seen many poor in Bangalore, where they have all the chances of getting poorer. High living cost, lower income and many other laws that never helps the poor in the city. We should spend double to feed ourselves and the transportation cannot be costlier. The so called BMTC (Begging More Transport Cost) is finding new ways to bring down the luxury bus (Airavath) fares keeping the ordinary bus fares the highest in the country. One should feel that bus passes makes it cheaper enough, they have managed to keep buses that don't accept passes even without any boards. I have witnessed many times people enter into the bus with their family only to realize they have to pay again keeping the passes in pocket. Moreover the conductors have got special training how to avoid givng back the balance.

It's really shameful that no one has their throughts and hands working. 

Yet another India!!
