I am not privileged i am OVER PRIVILEGED!!

That was exactly my state of mind when i got a chance to go to Dharavi(Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharavi).
Mumbai is surely a city of dreams and have all stratas of people from Ambanis to Khans to Rubina&Azhar(Slumdog fame).
Narrow lanes,dingy houses,naked malnutrition-ed kids,Hygiene being a word not acquainted with Dharavi was my first impression of one of the largest slums of Asia.
We spoke of India Shining back in 2009 but i guess India was shining would be more appropriate.With 77% of population surviving on less than 20 Rs a day,we being a remarkable youthful country,the onus lies on us how we can harness the talent and work toward the upliftment.Upliftment of not only underprivileged but upliftment of ourselves in terms of our responsibilities and contribute towards the change.It's up to us to wither up or make the best of what we have.
We might go to many places(Read 5 star,Carter Road,Bandra the list is endless) and think we are underprivileged but then there is no end to man's greed ,which in all ways is justified and natural,Striving towards the best in life is vital.But to stop by and think how lucky we are in many ways is imperative.
I am blessed to have witnessed and felt one such lucky day in my life and hope everyone can.
To quote from MJ's song
"We can't go on Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change

We are the world We are the children ,
We are the ones who make a brighter day ,
So let's start giving........"
