    Traffic Signal and Bus stops have become favorite place for beggars, especially for women with little children. Why on earth does this happen? Can't they get any work, at least as a servant maid? What is the future of their children? A lot of questions arises in my mind but not even one has any answer. Those made me write the following lines..

    வாழ்க்கையின் யதார்த்தத்தில் தொலைந்து போகின்றது புன்னகை
    நடைபாதை இங்கே பலருக்கு வாழும்பாதை
    கொசுவலை இங்கே பலருக்கு வீடு
    ஆற்றுவெள்ளத்தில் அடித்து செல்லப்படுவது குடிசைகளும் தான்
    அழுக்குத்துணியில் பொதிந்து வைத்திருக்கும் அழகுப்பாப்பா
    சிக்னல் நிறுத்தத்தில் பிச்சை எடுக்கும் அம்மா



    Translation:
    Smile is lost in life's practicality
    Platforms are livingplaces for many here
    Mosquitonet has become house to many here
    Huts are also dragged away in floods
    Cute kid is wrapped in dirty cloth
    Mother is begging at traffic signal

    Sorry, I am no good at translation. Managed to translate it somehow. Your translations are welcome

    Hi ramalakmi

    அழகான கவிதை

    I get sad thinking about these kids...What did they do to deserve this kind of plight

    oru kutti suggestion...There are quite a few readers here who cannot follow Tamil...so may be you could provide a translation for your lines...the literal English translation may not be as beautiful as your tamil verses but still these people would also enjoy illa....just a teeny weeny suggestion

    Rama, beautiful dear... we complain small things... but seeing them, no words... You wonderfully said, "Life is not just time pass in movies, purchasing new dresses etc.... its not normal... the normal life for others is, just getting atleast Rs 25 after 5 hours of begging, so that she can get milk for her baby... "
    hats off..
