Travelling for life.

Working for daily wages to make a living, the workers did not get the benefits of working loyally for a company. They could not pay the rent to live under a shed. No arrangement for food as well. The government did help these people to fill their tummy, but could not manage to provide it to every needy. Could be many reasons, maybe the population that falls under the daily wage workers or bad management to provide food to them.

In search of living the only option which is left for these workers is to leave their places and travel back to their hometown. Though trains and buses were arranged for travelling, many workers did not manage to grab the help because of availability of seats and the prices they had to pay to travel. Thus, they decided to manage travelling on their own. Travelling meant walking miles away back to their hometown.

They somehow managed to arrange food they would require in between the journey, which was not sufficient for all the days but 1 or 2. The father carried luggage and kids on the shoulder and again proved a hero in this world. The mother on the other hand tied their infants by the back with a cloth proving their ability to never let their kids suffer the pain. Walking for an hour was easy for them, but beyond that it was tedious. People standing with a bottle of water and biscuits for them became no less than a god. Walking on the tar roads in the burning sun, sweaty cloths, dust in the eyes and much more hurdles than we could even think about. Maybe they could have hoped that in the way someone could give them a lift to somewhere bringing close to their destination. But the roads were empty and quiet making it more worse for them. They spent the nights sleeping below a tree and still afraid of what worse could happen in their life.

When a news reporter in a metro city interviewed these workers on how they managed to travel half way, one of them said "nikal toh gaye hain bina soche samjhe zindagi ke liye. Zinda rahe to ghar par honge aur nahi rahe toh baat hi khatam. Koi puchne nahi aayega". Meaning, "without thinking much about the consequences, we have left already. If alive, we would reach home and if not, then nobody would care about it. They are actually experiencing a journey with hurdles and pain. The happiness of a bottle of water or a bread to eat is a blessing that one could get. 

Help the needy and make them reach their destination along with their family. Be an unknown person in their travel journey that they could never forget. They need a hope for living. They need a hope for their life. They need you.
