It is very disturbing to find small school going kids walk barefoot on the filthy and unhygenic roads of the city. These kids are mostly in government and municipal schools and hail from the economically weaker sections. Quite often one finds broken glasses and other materials that could cause serious injury to the kids' tender feet. That would result in infection and much misery; also they wuld be forced to miss school.
thouhg many of us do charity work I feel this needs to be given some more importance for it relates to the health and fitness of the child and feet are vital in one's work life later.
Of course one needs to do it systematically by approaching the school authorites and identify those who are really deserving due to economic reasons. Kids outgrow shoes fast and old shoes in real good condition could be colleted and donated in a graceful and compassionate manner. Care shouldbe taken to see that the parents of the child or the child itself does not feel some kind of embarassment in accepting this gift with love.
Kids from the better of schools would be ideal to undertake this task as they could relate more easily to kids.
I think it is worth a try.
Telengana Protests

Telengana protest seem to have become a regular show like the annual crafts mela or some such. While there are very real arguments on both sides, it is sad to see that the whole state is held to ransom by one or the other group. None of the so called leaders have been able to keep the protest dignified, violenc efree and within limits. So many protests occur all over the world, but it seems this is the only nation that takes such pride in destroying public property. Burning of buses, wrecking of trains, destroying buildings are destruction of wealth of all of us.
People also respect when protests are held in a non-violent manner. Such vast damage to public property is not seen in the mid-east where there are more life altering issues.
The leaders who allow the followers to destroy wealth are not the ones to build any state; they are only interested in personal glory. the events have proved this.
Will our youth wake up to the reality and at least resolve to protest without damage to property and life?
Are they not matured enough to see how they are being manipulated for personal agendas of the leaders?
