W hile waiting for a friend to reach at the Thane station, I wander on platform no. 10 to find a place to sit. While she would still take around half an hour to 45 minutes to come, I thought of passing my time online on Instagram and Whatsapp. Bored in a few minutes, I got up and went to the IRCTC food stall in the station itself and bought 2 cartons of apple juice and while sloppily sipping the juice off the carton box, I looked around the platforms – no. 9 and 10. At any given time, the station is always crowded. I was watching the scuttle on the station!

There are thousands of orphanages and  NGOs  in our country but the donation what they get from us normal people, more than half goes here and there instead of reaching to the main cause. I can say all this with confidence because I have personally worked for 2 major NGOs of India, marketing them and I left the job as soon as I came to know where the money really goes!!! Coming to the point, of these not so fortunate kids who at a very tender age have to see so many things which they  shouldn't  !! Some get targeted as beggars, some...
