INNOSANCE

the cleaning lady who comes 2 clean my clinic hs 2 daughters.
the younger one is 8yrs old.
she is a chatterbox.SHOLEY ki BASANTI.......reborn.
there is something 2 her that poverty cant touch.
she is a butterfly.....in the midst of pain ,suffering,misery......but she is untouched by all.
i hvnt ever seen her sad or irritated or feeling hopeless.
she n her family lives in the parking lot of the building......home without walls....
her father washes cars in one corner n her mother washes her in another.
they all sleep on the cement floor beside cars......among mosquitoes.
her mother is always sick n so many times she comes 2 clean my clinic in her mother's place.......
i dont let her as she is almost tanvi's age.....
it hurts 2 see her working ...when she shd be studying n playing...like tanvi.
but it doesnt hurt her....she goes 2 school n tops her class..every exam.
she uses her pencil till its impossible 2 hold it any longer...
she keeps jumping n dancing all over the society....as if the whole building is her home.
its absolutely refreshing2 see her happy.
life didnt give her much......but the best part is that she doesnt know it yet.
very soon...she will grow up n her life will be full of responsibilities.
she will work as hard as her parents n that too just for peanuts.
she wont even remember her old self.......
world will kill her much before she is dead.
till then she is a fresh breeze....flowing freely ..without hesitations n inhibitions.....
oh,god!!plz mummify her innosance n give it back 2 her when she grows up.
