KEY NOTES
Sometimes I Find a Rupee in Garbage:
Author’s encounter with Saheb
Meets rag picker Saheb belonging to a refuge family from Bangladesh.
Question him about his vocation of rag picking and advised him to 90 to school
Promise to open a school
Felt embarrassed at making a hollow promise
Irony in name and existence
Full Name ‘Saheb-e-Alam’ meaning ‘lord of the universe
But deprived of even basic needs scrounge strut with other rag picker boys
Bare foot boys reflected extreme state of poverty
Passage of time and degree of prosperity achieved
Reminded of a priest bare foot son in town of Udipi thirty years ago.
Longing for a pair of shoes
Thirty year later a boy of same age was seen in full school dress with shoes
Rag pickers still shoe less.
Seemapuri on periphery of Delhi far away from it
Dwelling structures of mud. Tin and tarpaulin with no sewage drainage or running water
Only boon valid ration card to get grain
Happy to live in an strange land which provides food grain than in their mother land without grain
Rag picking for elders their daily bread and means of survival for children a treasure of wonderful things
Saheb’s longing for childhood
Wish to enjoy pleasures of childhood
Play tennis, wear shoes
Watches Rich boys playing Tennis
Saheb’s New vocation
Work on Tea stall Earns Ids 800’pm
Appears burdened and forlorn
No freedom now
Tin container was heavier than his rag picking bag
I Want To Drive a Car:
Mukesh
A child labourer in a glass factory in Firozabad
Wishes to be motor mechanic
Wants to learn to drive a car
Family unaware that child labour is illegal
Working condition in glass furnaces
High temperature
Dingy cell
Poorly ventilated
Children lose eye sight at an early age
Living conditions in Firozabad
Houses with crumbling walls
Humans and animals both live together
Stinking lanes
Mukesh; house half built
For wood stove aluminum utensils
Elder brother’s wife –
In charge of family members
According to custom cover his face with veil
Mukesh’s father
Head of the family
Poverty stricken unable to renovate house or provide education to sons
Only legacy he hand over is the art of bangle making
Mukesh Grandmother’s view
Their present state result of Karma.
Accepted her husband’s blindness caused by dust of glass bangles as their destiny.
Thinks art of bangle making god given lineage.
Vicious circle of poverty
No progress despite of years struggle Poverty, Illiteracy dissatisfaction Victims of middle man and touts
Fear of police, lack of leadership check their growth
Irony
Bangle a symbol of Suhaag
Every girl child one day as bride will wear bangles.
Become old with bangles in wrist no sight in eyes.
Children Double victim
First by birth bordered by stigma of caste second
No hope : have to accept family occupation
ruled by Sahukars, Middle men, police
Little desire to dream snubbed in childhood.
Mukesh : as exception
Have dream to be motor mechanic
Practical does not have dream of aeroplanes.
Only few planes fly over Firozabad.
