What is Child Labour?

Our people!!! Sorry, wait a minute. Our government has totally changed the meaning of CHILD LABOR. Even I support that children should not work. But who can stop it and how?

No one (our respected politicians) would have a single clue why these kids work because they (politicians\government people) never had to work.




I went to a see a friend of mine. I was amused to see a girl aged around 12 working at her place. She was against child labor too. I asked her why she was doing this. Employing a child? Her answer to me was too easy to understand. In her words, 'This girl had a family of six, including her Mother, father, two brothers and a sister. She wanted to study, but her father being a Rickshaw driver, couldn't afford their studies. So she bought this girl home and she sends her to school; and in return the girl helps in her household work because that girl doesn't want her self respect to die by taking help for free. Also the money whatever I give her, she sends it to her home, so that even her siblings can study.' I was shocked to hear this. Just a small girl aged 12, is matured enough to think about her self respect and her siblings education! This was because she would have undergone worst situation for her livelihood.

Now, two points which were really disturbing me for the whole day were really shocking. First, why does a person who cannot earn enough to feed his family and fulfill the educational needs of his children, have four kids? I mean, that is ridiculous. The main reason behind this is illiteracy. Illiteracy here doesn't mean education. They are not literate in terms of knowledge and problems what their children will face due to lack of education. As he is illiterate, same will be passed to his children. In a country where people think 'Children are god’s gift and we have no right to stop gifts from god', it is too tough to literate them about bad life, which even his children will suffer with.

Now, the second reason is the Government. Can we blame them completely? This is a question without an answer. No one can put any kind of remark on this. Looking at China today, we can blame the government for sure. In China, the government had made a compulsion stating that ‘It is good to have just one child'. The couples which had more than one were not given job in any government office. If Chinese couples had one child, the whole education for that kid was free till the kid was 16. That was a great drive and today even being a country with the largest population in the world, their birth rate has decreased.

Now who is to be blamed? Not sure as yet. I think if our politicians and government officials decrease 50% of their (personal) money making process, we can do something better. I see lot of N.G.Os working on this. They are really trying hard. I wish they can do some more, if people come forward to help them. If a person can give at least 2000 Rs per annum to any N.G.O. who takes care of the children, it will be really helpful for them.

Yeah. Our government has one more view on Child labor. For that, recently all the child labors, who were picked from different working places, wrote a letter to the government of Maharashtra asking them to
give proper liberty to all children, liberty in terms of work.
Their point was about kids working in Movies/Serials/Ads.
Their letter stated. 'Why are only we stopped to work? Why are the kids working in movies, ads, and serials not stopped? Isn't that child labor? They have money, and we earn for our families, because there is no other way to maintain the whole family. Will the government ever make us study and provide food and living or job to our elder family members? If they are ready to do so, we also won’t work. We also want to play, and not work. But we have to do it, either willingly or unwillingly. At least the parents, whose kids are earning or else have a good life, should help us'. This letter shattered me. These kids were right. The N.G.O.'s take children away from Child labor, and serve them with good living and education. What do the government authorities do? Even if they are doing, are we able to get any results? Is their pace too slow against Child labor? Or are they too lazy to make the whole process speed up? There are kids who are abandoned and they have to work to feed themselves. What should the government do for them? Lots of questions are there, but answers?

The last resolution by me is that I am clueless about all this. I don't know whether posting this issue was right or wrong. Don't the poor kids deserve to play and go to school? I am against Child labor too and I try to educate people who employ kids. Some are too rude to be educated. Yeah but I do try to donate some amount annually to some N.G.O., and try to go with them to do some social work to educate employers, not to employ kids, instead help the people who work towards educating them. Can anyone get the right way to decrease Child labor? Answers? Anyone???

The End?

Yesterday was a busy day at studio. Had loads of work. One of my friend from Hyderabad, Mr. Prasad, an associate director by profession, was at studio. He told me something about Niburu (Planet X)..

Nibiru is a planet of our own solar system (even though official scientists deny that). Actually there are other seven unknown planets in our solar system. Nibiru or the Planet X is the seventh one. Nibiru is smaller than Saturn and Jupiter in size, but bigger than all other planets in our solar system. The main story is that Nibiru is going to cross between Earth and Sun on 21st December, 2012. Thats the time when Earth will stop revolving for 3 days and Earth will change its Poles. That will be the start of a series of disastrous events. Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Volcano bursts will be uncountable. It seems that 2/3 population on Earth will die because of this. The facts about Nibirus was known by NASA in 1983. Even our forefathers and other civilizations calculated the time for this Planet X crossing. Here is a detailed version explaining Nibiru's existence. Theres even few videos around in You tube. One of them i am posting here. You really need to have patience to go on and read the whole thing in the video. My suggestion is to go through it completely.






Nibiru's existence is not a virtual stuff. Its real and even proved by scientists across the world. Why NASA is trying to hide its existence, is still unknown. Whatever the reality is, but truth will be known by next year summer. Thats the time when Nibiru can be seen by naked eye in some parts of Australia.

My motto is not to horrify people. This is just for knowledge and for nothing else. We should be aware of all happening around us. I am a person, who believes in 'Everyday is a new day'. And i thanks God daily for showing me another day of life. Life is full of ups and downs and we all face and undergo tough situations. That doesn't means that we give up living. Make yourself stronger. Strong enough to LIVE happily. May God bless all!!!

Now i am taking off for today. Todays small song's title is 'Kya Yehi Subah Thi'. Written by my good friend Karthik. Karthik is based in Bangalore. A software engineer by profession and an excellent lyricist by passion. Lyrics is his second profession, but he loves to write lyrics. He has written lots of stuff commercially. He is also part of a music project called Total Mukti. The reason why i am posting this song here is just for the lyrics he wrote. Matches the situation. Anyone interested in getting lyrics done by Karthik, can contact him here.

Composed, Arranged and Vocals by : Sunny-Sanour Mohammad.
Lyrics : Karthik Chandan


The lyrics:


Yun kehte the sabhi, hogi subah bhi raat ki,
Phir uski yeh roshni, nigalegi taare bhi.
Thodi pee lenge sabhi aur machegi khalbali,
Thodi pee lenge sabhi aur machegi khalbali,
Kya yehi, Kya yehi, Kya yehi, Subah thi.

Jagenge sabhi (Kya yehi)
Phir sochenge sabhi (Kya yehi)
Jagenge sabhi (Kya yehi)
Phir poochenge sabhi (Kya yehi)

The Eye Why!!!

I had an eye cancer when i was 3 years old. Which resulted in removing one of my eyes. So i have a monologue (single eye) visibility. Neither do i regret for that, nor my family made me feel bad about it. God took one of my eyes, but gave me a good brain(i think so). I never had any issues at my school and at work. I feel good. The only difficulty i have is to get a driving license. My application was rejected at Hyderabad and no one told me the solution for it. I have been driving since 5 years, without a license, and i feel bad for that. Finally when i shifted to Mumbai, the R.T.O agent here told me to get a fitness certificate. That certificate will prove that i can drive even with monologue view.

For that i had to go to JJ hospital, Mumbai Central. Me and my bhabhi went to JJ yesterday. I was pretty amazed to see the size of that place. Lots of buildings (departments), and a huge space. But as i entered inside, i was shocked!!! The hospital inside was a bizarre. Dirty, dusty and unmaintained. We went to the inquiry help desk just to find an empty chair, on which no one would have sat at least for 1 month. The dust on chair and around it, said it all. The people over there had half knowledge of the place and some guard even told us the wrong place to go. I was shocked to see all this. How can such a big hospital remains unmaintained and without anyone at the help desk. My bhabhi tried to get me out of the shock by saying that all the government hospitals at Mumbai are in the same condition. How can the people sitting in the parliament or the politicians asking for votes can ignore all this? They are free to comment on anyone about anything, but cant maintain a place, which can serve people? What to say? I know this is a known fact amongst all of the people in India. but no one can help on it!!! I am sure all other government-run-public serving places at Mumbai would be the same. What a shame.

Is there anyway to contact government and tell them about this? Even if we are able to convey the message, will they really do something? Spits all around the place, dust and dirt. Its like a visitor goes and comes out as a patient. Oh God, kindly give our Leaders some brain to work on development, without being politic and diplomatic!!!

So, today's track is a small bit which i arranged and programmed, long back, with my small rap vocals. But the reason i am placing it today, is because of the name i gave it. The tracks name is 'THE REVENGE' Just listen to the track and fantasize the environment of that hospital. You will feel the same Grudge, what i am feeling today!!! CHEERS!!!

THE TRAIN (Turning Brain)!

Day before yesterday was a great day for me..I was very happy for the fact that finally, my brother and I, with efforts from my Bhabi and her family, were able to move mom and dad to mumbai... A little far from the place we stay, becoz its MUMBAI, and its expensive.

So we settled everything in its own respective place in the flat, the same day, and amazingly, THAT flat had become HOME. Thanks God for giving me such feelings...

Now the best part was what happened next. I woke up arly in the morning yesterday, with a deep breath, and I could hear some sounds. Which said 'Late ho jayega'. I opened my eyes to find that the sweet, charming voice was of my bhabhi. I got up finally, did my regular daily things, and then reached station, alone!!! My bhabhi had told me the train(LOCAL lifeline, mumbai).. which would start from that respective place to Andheri (where i stay and my office exists), was at 9.10. I am not a regular traveler of the mumbai LIFELINE, and so not that aware of the situation. I had never traveled alone in a Local train. someone would be there as my company, so never had any issues..

The train arrived. It was certain that it would stop for 10 mins and then start. I saw the station filling with people. But as the train stopped, i dint know what had happened. A bomb alarm? haffun!!! People started thrashing each other, hitting, pushing and more to add, verbal abusing. I took a deep breath. I remembered my Brothers words 'Its not easy to travel in a mumbai local', and just got my breath down. And suddenly i remebered my bhabhis words 'Wait for people to get inside and then you board'. I did the same. Lately when i got inside, i saw, there was ample of space inside the Train 'DABBA' on which i boarded. And i was wondering why people thrashed and rushed each other. I made up my mind then thinking, 'Might be they wanted a seat, on which they could sit' Finally the train started.






HMMM,so here it goes.. Sounds, noises, abuses...haffun!!! This was the story. Stinky people made me a Stinky Soul. Some having some tobacco, some talking loud. Ah, that was miserable for a person like me, who never uses public transport and relies on Rickshaw's and Taxi's, even to go for 1/2 kms. The very interesting part was about people, tightly packed and still sleeping on each other, even though in a standing position. I saw guys and uncles standing on the open door of the train, still sleeping and trying to stand without falling...

In a short while, i had my headphones on, listening to a song of 'ANASTASIA' -Life is a journey, which stated -
"One step down this road.
I know someones waiting.
Years of dreams just can't go wrong.
Arms will open wide.
I'll be safe & wanted.
Finally home where I belong.
Yes, let this be a sign.
Let this road be mine.
Let it lead me too my past.
& Bring me home at last. "

I was touched! Thinking of people around, who where hushing on each other, just to reach their home. Or going to office, to earn for their family, with a hope in them that they would get whatever they wanted. My head had a spin. The first moment i was thinking, stinky people, abusive manners, but very soon i could feel their mind. What they would be thinking, what situations they would be undergoing. And there was nothing i could do for anyone. I just kept my mouth shut. Thinking of my family, my hardships and the problems i faced, the support what my friends and family gave me and all my days when i dint had money to buy a proper clothing even. And then i could really feel people crying inside their heart, mourning for their hopes, and every good or bad thing. And my STINKY SOUL, was drowned under with drops of pain, happiness and hopes. Now i was feeling no stink, not hearing any talks around, but was lost in my world.

After a journey of 45 mins, my stop had arrived, and i had to stop myself of thinking all this, coz i was going for my work. But trust me, i couldnt do that. I was still sore from inside, feeling the pain. The pain of not reaching home, the pain of not able to complete goals, the pain of not being happy. And the pains were countless!!!

I wish everyone a good life. May God bless all. May they all be happy, and don't give op hopes. Coz its hope which keeps u alive with thousands of pains lying inside u!!! Take care!!! Be safe, coz someones waiting for you around.

My song for all today is the cover version of 'Yeh jo desh hai tera', by me, from the movie Swades. I need not explain the details of this song further, i think!!! This song is for US!!!
