It was a sunny day and Chitra was on her way to office. Like every day, she reached Noida City Center metro station to go to her office in Gurgaon. She heard someone calling from behind, and she looks back to see a 9-10 years old girl running towards her with something in her hand.“didiji yehlo aapka rose (sister, here is your rose)”, she said to Chitra. Chitra smiled and took the red rose and gave Rs.10/- to Munni. Chitra knew Munni ( a girl who sells  “red roses”  at the metro station) as she used to buy one red rose from her just to make her smile and slowly it became a part of both the lives.  Munni used to be among half-dozens of girls who sell roses at metro station and other areas of public gathering. Nobody knows about Munni’s family and nobody has ever asked her about the same . Whenever Chitra used to ask munni about her family, she always ran away from there without saying a word . Munni used to request passengers of age in mid 20s to buy roses at Rs.10/- ea...

It was a Saturday afternoon and Poonam & Amit were on the way to their hometown Meerut and were about to board bus from Vaishali metro station, Ghaziabad. Suddenly, one child of age nearly 10 years came to them in worn out clothes, carrying a small bucket and small portrait of Lord Shani dipped in mustard oil. Both of them were aware of the purpose as they have been witnessing this since birth. Amit was reluctant to give any money to the kid, but Poonam mentioned that "aisa nahin karte, yeh shani daan hain. Agar thode paise shani bhagwan ke name pe de doge to kya ho jayega, isse punya milta hain" (please don't deny this charity as this is for Lord Shani, rather it will bring good blessings for us). Eventually, Amit agreed and dropped Rs.1 coin in the bucket. On the way to board the bus, Amit saw more than 10 such buckets kept on the stairs of the metro station. Each bucket belonged to a different child but may be belonging to the same contractor.  In our countr...

Mrs and Mr Tiwari moved to Gurugram as a result of a company transfer but it was tension all around. The family was worried about living in the new community. It was obvious for them to be anxious about living in a new locality and that too in crime prone Gurugram, but the reason for the anxiousness was not that obvious.  The couple was worried about getting a good "bai" or maid in the new society. The locality in which they moved belonged to one of the most urbanized areas of Gurugram but this does not restrict them to get a good maid. On the other hand, it was very easy to get a good maid at reasonable salary because 100% of the residents employed at least one maid. Lot of people were even having drivers, gardeners, babysitters etc.  It was equally important and mandatory to have domestic helps as to drink water to survive.      Now what made easy for Tiwari family   to find maid in the most urbanized societies   ...

Laxmi, 10 years old girl is not present at her home on Monday afternoon. It is obvious that girl of this age might be in school or playing with her friends or have gone for some hobby classes, but destiny had some other plans for her. She is not at home because she went to fetch water from the nearby corporation tap, also she carries her 6 months brother in her lap as there is no one to take care of him at home. This is a daily routine for Laxmi living in one of the underprivileged area of Pune.  Similar is the state of Madhu, 12 years old girl from one of the Noida's marginalized community. On the same Monday afternoon, she is cooking food for her two siblings as mother is in the field collecting waste.  In our country, girls have always been bearing responsibilities of being a mother, wife, girlfriend etc., and these roles/responsibilities are widely discussed, sometimes praised and most of the times accepted as a fact.  But there is one role silently played by y...
