Why Not?
Mickie Uberoi
Why not?
She had spent her nascent years by the roadside...she now has a warm hearth and a cosy bed...why not?
She had stretched out her arms...for alms...she now has arms reaching out to her...arms that care, protect and love...why not?
She had spent her days gazing into nothingness...she now sits in a classroom learning maths and science...why not?
She had gaped at children rushing to schools...she now sits alongside children in some of our finest schools...why not?
She had been reckoned to be a child of a lesser God...she now has people thumping her on her back and blessing her...why not?
Her hands will be raised...one day...with pride and humility...to return a salute...why not?
We will salute her for her triumph...her fruition in substance and soul...why not?
We share our experience and knowledge with those bereft of means...and opportunities...why not?
In her own little way Ghar is making our world a better place...why not?
The one's who had disparaged her will one day raise a toast to her...it is then the vision of Ghar will be realised! Why not?
