ONCE WHEN YOU NOTICED THE VILLAGE YOU PASSED BY.

Ever traveled in a car trying to observe?
Just where you'll imagine yourself, on the window seat.
Just where you're gonna feel all the breeze of cool air when a vehicle passes by.
Just where you'll witness a great view of the natural greenery.
Just where you see a romantic little spot for the occasion, you've dreamed about.
Just where you'll be imagining a lot of beautiful moments at the nursery of beautiful tulips staring right at you.
Just where you'll see sundry of houses, decorated in their own way,
But all of this, all the feels turn to burn into ashes,
When being right there, your bus takes you on a journey of a village where people don't buy many clothes because of poverty,
When being right there,
You see a kid, A kid with only a piece of cloth on, and pulling breasts of a cow, trying to make a living through it.
You see a kid, A kid in school uniform, and working on the tea stall right at the corner of the bus stop your bus took a break at.
You see a kid, A kid whose fingers are broken, and he's still trying to move the lever to get the sugar cane juice poured out of the sugarcane so that he can get paid.
You see a kid, A kid who has bottles of cold purified water and running along your bus to sell it, trying to get a profit of one rupee on a bottle.
You see a kid, A kid who has a backpack on, sneakily trying to get on a moving truck, maybe to get to his school in time.
You see a kid, A kid who is walking, walking towards the mill of the city, to work. So that, his mother can sit at home, begging at the same stop, he's passing by.
And these kid makes you realize,
You're lucky enough to be born in a family to afford a car,
You're lucky enough to be able to have convent education.
You're lucky enough to be able to have a food, three times a day.
You're lucky enough to afford the trip which made you realize this.
YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE WHAT YOU'RE.
You can't thank your GOD enough, for whatever you've got.
