You are walking on the street with your mother and you see all your favourite things at display be it the latest sartorial trends on the showrooms or you see that le delice French bakery has popped up with some new rainbow desserts and all the glitters around what will you think first? Obviously to greet them in your closet and in your stomach and will be full of watered mouth to have it all but your mother pats you on your back and says you can't have them How will it sound to you? Heart wrenching? Absolutely. Now imagine the kid who has the heart as fragile as mirror shattering every now and then just because he canʼt suffice his stomach all his plate is filled is with atrocities and sufferings that's what they eat and how even they can't treat their eyes to all those delicacies, the richness of toys around them. What do you do with them? you feel bad? You Sympathise? And then you leave. But isnʼt it like what people who say choose love rather than money and maybe those type of people can feed on love. But as we all know the reality is different. One needs Money in order to survive. In order to get that concrete substance(Food) that can fill their butterflies. We are not mere abstractions we are humans we exist we have a self.

We should try to feel the pain and even at the same time visualise what if we would have been in their shoes walking

miles. People say they understand our problems but few are which actually can feel and connect with us. That's what we need to do with them too we need to connect.

What fun is it to have the heart who sighs but the hands who can't do anything despite being able to? We have many discourses in libraries and in the books to talk about it. But this time we need to give efforts, to give them something, not just say but do need to do something, act rather than just stare, we need to justify our every word through actions. This world has had its talk let we do our job now.
