Spreading Goodness: Focusing on what matters

Focusing on what matters is only way to achieve any thing in life, Like What is the first image that flashes your mind when you think of a traffic signal stoppage anywhere in India, the little boys and girls carrying flowers, dusters, brushes, balloons and toys? Have you ever stopped to address them like you would any other child, maybe she’s not trying to sell you anything, maybe she’s just trying to catch your attention. Maybe we need to see her as the child she is and not the beggar we try to banish.

Banishing them will not really rid our country of this widespread evil. It’s not a childhood any child deserves or chooses. But yes, you can get rid of beggary by holding onto that hand, looking into his eyes and giving him the dignity as you would like to be given yourself. Your precious 2 minutes will not upturn the world for you, but yes, it will have world-altering effect on him. You could be the happy memory in someone’s childhood. Sneha Singh spreads smiles and captures them in her camera, she forms a bond with them with a few kind words and sometimes that’s all they need.
