I wonder ................


I was on my way home yesterday night.... Usually I walk from the MRT station to my mom's place. It was growing to be quite dark I should say. From far I could see an Indian couple. It was quite clear that they are quarelling about someting. The man was shouting at the wife. It was quite loud I should say. The poor lady was carrying a toddler in her arms. He was holding a black can in his hand and it should be beer I am sure. He was looking quite drunk tough or rather very. He kept pushing the lady backward despite she holding the baby in her arms. They were washing their dirty linens in public. Free show man!

At this very point of time, I feared for the baby. The baby was crying too. One more push and the lady was gonna fall onto the road with the baby in her arms. And as anticipated, she did. The lady picked herself and up continued to fight with the man in between her sobs. The poor child was wailing away but none of them turned their attention to the poor child. The child just continued to cry and cry.

If I were the child's mother, i will not fight with the child in my arms. I fear for the baby's safety.

Sometimes i wonder if god is still listening to what we say!!! Why do people like them need a child??
