Where is an end to all these???


It was 9 am when i entered my cubicle in the office. Near mine, was sitting my team mate with a very unusually sad face. I have never seen such an expression on her face and tears in her eyes. I sat beside her and thought of asking what her problem was. Before which she herself began to tell the very bitter incident that happened that morning.

She used to come to the office by the MTC bus. (Un)Fortunately got a seat in a crowded bus near a college girl who was preparing for her semester exams on her way to the college. A woman with a new born baby(hardly 3 months old) got into the bus. Since the bus was too crowded, the lady gave her baby to the college girl and stood near by.

The baby began to cry after sometime, only then did the girl realized that lady who gave the baby was missing!! Everyone in the bus were searching for the woman who came with that baby and found that she had got down from the bus leaving the baby behind.

The girl was really tensed since she had to attend her exam that morning and an abandoned baby is crying on her lap. To make the matter worse, none of them inside the bus were ready to take the baby from the girl who had to get down in the next stop. Need less to explain her situation at that moment. . .

My friend burst into tears while saying this. No way could i console her, cause even my eyes got welled up.

When there are many child care centers and ashrams available in the city, the mother of the baby must have been really cruel enough to leave a small baby inside a bus.

Very sad to know that people have started losing even the very basic form of humanness.

Where is an end to all these???

I am amazed at people's hearts..
a mother bearing a child within .. for not just a day or two 10 months ! and how could she ??
no wonder we are having more no of criminals and sober and psychically imbalanced children ..
all these lead to lack of trust in people around us .. now will any one who had witnessed this or heard of such things will feel like helping someone like this ?
So strange ..
i DO NOT WANT TO believe ..
but then its the naked truth na !
Let that child grow in safe hands!

the girl should have kept an eye on the woman.

P.S - allow anonymous/other comments, I cannot use my blogger id and post, its tedious.. just a request.

The girl was actually busy preparing for her exam. Moreover no one was aware that such an incident would occur.
I have changed the settings to accept anonymous comments. Just add ur name when you post any comments da. So that i can identify who it is.
Take care :)

ws really touched seein dis post..
but i believe that God knew this child from the time de child was formed in the mother's womb..
God had already planned the child's life.. with a purpose and i believe that God is taking care of every step of the child.
