Yea Ricky, we can never change that difference. But what can be changed is the perception of this world through some people’s eyes.i.e it is not all about bmws and vacation trips..true the girl is depressed in her own little way but she really needed to be shaken and brought to this “real” world! As for the picture…it is pretty sad but an eye opener to things that most people chose to ignore and pretend that such situations dont exist. Sadly, even today they do. True what you said..the world is unfair and fair in its own ways.

Someone Somewhere!! Welcome welcome again! Kya baat hai are you back with a bang? or back and bang and gone again? is baar regular rehnaa..and I jsut changed my blog kyunki rediff se mann uth gaya tha..gemini traits you see Shall be over to yours soon take care and be back and regular in blogsville!

Yea Poonam, some kids are spoiled that they get everything without asking for it and are never made to go through any kinds of tough times..so times like these when they cant go to their favourite vacation destination becomes a “tough time” for them. Kya kar sakte hain in logon kaa? sigh.Aur teri life philosophy ekdum sahi hai! Life jeo aur khush raho..kaash har koi ki yehi life philosophy hoti..:)

Yes Divya, wanting more is okay..is needed sometimes too. BUt then being spoilt to such a limit is really not required..that was exactly my point and wanted to shake that girl up. sigh! I wonder if her bmw daddy would have filed a lawsuit against me if i had done that

How very true Prakash V, that in the end we do need to make sure atleast we are doing our best in this world. If we all did even our bit by atleast being content and happy within, I think it will make a whole lot of difference atleast to the people around us and that is a start!

Mehul, yes indeed you make it third this time…sorry my comment box is messed up. And true there is no end to desires at all and i think all of us always are looking for something or the other. Money can never buy that happiness. Even if it makes one happy for the sheer luxuries and comfort it brings, it is temporary unless you are not content from within. Poverty is everywhere..and even though this picture is depressing it does bring out one side of this humanity that we all choose to ignore and pretend that it doesnt exist. Sad but its true.

Yes Navjot, the picture is indeed very depressing..I thought something similar. However, I think the photographer was awarded this prize because of bringing this truth out to the world. True, it is horrific, but would we have known such a situation exists in our world if not for pictures like these? And also, true that this Cancun girl has lives her own life completely oblivious..but dont these people watch the news? Dont their rich parents know not to spoil the kids so much that they think of something so trivial as depressing? “depressed” is a pretty strong word if you think about it…kya karen..again I would just call her poor little rich girl.

The BMW kid is depressed in her own way (though you and I very well know, what happens in Cancun) while this child do not have a choice. The picture is moving, will be the mildest way to describe it. I am unable to see it after the first look.

The world is unfair and fair in its own myterious way…
