When I go to the observatory level and have a cup of coffee, my favourite drink from my childhood, I just watch the construction of a commercial complex that’s coming up just next to my office. The work is happening in full swing. Construction is play of how much money you could spend. More money power, faster construction. As I sip my coffee, many thoughts come across my mind.
The first thought that come across is that of construction worker safety. The worker climbs up, pulls the iron bars, walk, run with bare foot, handles concrete with bare hands.
Is the life is so cheap of these? Is there value for their life & family.
I visited the middle east country as a part of safety implementation. I could observe the commitment of the government and client. Safety was integral part ! Although the worker is from India, at least far off from the country, at least they get safety gears. Those companies are Indian but they abide with law and at least provide the safety gears.
So why not in our own country, lift them up by providing at least minimum personal protective equipments.
The second thought was
construction labour family. I can observe 2 girl child always following their parents as they work. There is no separate crush for these, no timely meals but I can observe the happiness of both children’s and parents. Some times these small kids imitate their parents, by lifiting bricks and keeping those on their heads. Really heart touching sorry feeling for these kids.
The sudden thought which arise is are we biased? Many of the gen next parents, do not allow their own kids to play down or put them down on the floor and make them play. They are so protective, that they ensure that kids wear clothes to ensure that they don’t get cold. What about these kids?
Bottom line
Many of us are fortunate, we earn and spend. We give more than required comfort to our children’s. But still we are unsatisfied and unhappy most of the time. We keep grumbling and making comments. We compare for each and everything, we plan to buy everything, even though it is not required !
Off course, God is great, he keeps the children’s of these hardworking, struggling parents with a blessing of Good Health !
So What ??
