I am sure, she won't be, she might have been carrying some plastic waste from the clinic. Its a pity that in this country we have a gigantic population and the "wellness" of the Indian economy (rising at 8.5%) does not reach 40% of the population yet. But, the main issue is the resilience of the down trodden here, the struggle is just a part of their daily routine. I have seen nuns of the Sisiters of Charity (founded by Mother Teresa), in their crisp white gowns walking past street urchins barely covered. I have seen people sit casually and enjoy their afternoon coffee in Starbucks and a mother sitting with her unfed child for a rupee. It hurts, it strikes anyone very hard, but its the reality.
I am sorry, I barged in to say these, I couldn't help it. Kunal, I hope you will forgive me for tresspassing.
