Labourer


Everyone labour for food, money and comfort but I was wondering how this poor people who was not fortune enough to have a rich parents managed their daily livelihood. While I went for my morning walk I saw them all ready and leaving for work ,some smiling, some giggling and small children too accompanied their parents at their work site most of them are I think were going for construction work like, building houses,offices,bridge or roads.
.
They get up early get ready by 8 a.m. and most of them ready and are on their way for work, parent carrying their small child, may be some are few months old only, that time I wonder didn’t these few young moms need rest..! they just delivered a baby and are back to work and a special thing I noticed was all were ready with their whole day meal with one special tiffin they carry, the steel one, that’s the family tiffin's i feel when we see the whole family walking together it look like they going for their daily picnic.

While I was returning home taking my mom from office I saw a baby, very small may be few months old,looking at him felt he has just learnt sitting, and just learning new things was sitting under a tree without any of his parents attention, parents were busy a bit far in some work,i felt how nicely God takes care of these babies,the baby is siting there without any problem, busy with his wonders around and not crying too. As it's Monsoon season I was wondering if I am scared of thunders, how these people spend their whole night under tree or a small house and some with no house too without the fear of thunder, it’s not a matter of day or two,the whole rainy season..!

I saw in vegetable market, how a very cute child is sleeping in vegetable cart, and her mom busy selling vegetable,but I can see a special peace on their face, they are happy people with less worries in life,nothing to fight for, as they own nothing much, so they live in harmony with their family and we will find hardly any broken families.As whole day they work very hard they get good sleep at nights and ready for another days work.Tada..!

Many time looking at these poor kids I wonder if they own a good fortune to have rich parents they would have become something really big and great in life.
