How can you explain the sight of a 3-year old girl with a matchbox and happily lighting matches one-by-one, waiting patiently till each matchstick had burnt out till the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still shocked!!!!! I had gone for a walk in the evening because it was so pleasant out-sides, but the effect turned out to be more unpleasant than ever!
Matchboxes are definitely not toys and are NEVER to be given to kids. But here was this sight, which so shocked me that I almost stood there and ended up shamelessly staring at her!!!!!
As I got over the sight I was looking around if she was accompanied by anyone. And then I spotted her…………………….her mother happily leaning on the gate and chatting in a very embarrassingly loud voice with god-only-knows-whom!!!! I seriously felt like screaming and asking that stupid woman whether she was aware with what her kid was up to!!!!
Careless women!!!!
And here is the best part……………….that little girl had such a flawless action of lighting the matchstick that you could obviously conclude that this action was regularly performed by her. To top it all she was practically throwing lighted matchsticks on road, which was liberally littered with dry leaves and paper or all the stuff, which could have easily caught fire!!
I can’t understand how could anyone allow such profanity to happen. Simply shows the lack of civic-sense in that so-called adult who obviously looked like her mother!!!!!!! The sight was so disturbing that my entire evening was practically ruined by this thought. Besides the thoughts about how efficient the girl was with lighting the matchsticks, another thought suddenly surfaced.
Last year, I happened to watch a particular episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show, which highlighted the bride-burning phenomenon in India. And they showed many clips of women in hospital beds, moaning in pain and I should think practically waiting and hoping to die!!!
The sight and the cause of their state were extremely disturbing to watch. And yesterday all of a sudden that very particular episode, complete with all the visuals and sounds [that too in minute detail] were replayed in my mind!!!!!!!!
I can’t think of a direct connection with between these two incidents, but maybe the direct relation of flame and carelessness put such thoughts in my head. Another disturbing thought put in my head, which lasted till I forced myself to stop thinking and sleep.
I sincerely hope that such acts of carelessness are never repeated. Because, god-forbid, if anything goes wrong the whole family would have to face a serious trauma besides the injured person!! And here I am not even talking about the amount of physical pain! And even if people are not bothered about such acts……….I hope that I would henceforth learn to ignore such things. To simply keep my sanity safe and sound.
