I would have liked to read that he was helping take care of his mother. Sounds like she wasn’t well off.
I think she’s in the lowest caste in India, the “Untouchables”. If so, she probably isn’t well off at all.
This is some story.
We really don’t appreciate how lucky we are, to be here in the good old US of A.
Watch that movie slumdog millionaire to see how frightful things are in the rest of the world.
My mother always said it was government corruption, that things could be just as good everywhere as they are here. Maybe that is true, I don’t know.
But there are a lot of children who are on their own, something I find almost impossible to imagine.
So I sound like some bleeding heart lib now? Gosh I hope not!
