Saw a woman being slapped by her husband on the road last week. Was completely shaken to know that there still are families where this happens. Then saw some men stop by the couple and beat up the man shouting something, so I assumed they were roughing him up for daring to thrash a lady. The unfortunate woman meanwhile desperately tried to save her husbad from the men.
Later I saw the man standing in a bus the woman holding a hankerchief close to his cheek where one of the men had hit him. The poor woman stood next to him looking completely fear-struck and timorous, probably thnking of what he would do to her when they got home. Can't forget that scene for a long long time. Sometimes I wonder if that woman is badly bruised lying on a hospital bed right now.
This is one of those topics that arouse instant angst in me. Neglect of the elderly and child labour being the other major ones. I am seriously thinking of some initiative that will go beyond the regular social work and actually do something faster about these issues. Not that I am blaming or criticizing the social workers. They are one helluva amazing people and I truly admire their capacity to think beyond selfish purposes. But around me I see many many concerned people of my age who are concerned and willing to spend some time, money and effort but they dont know how to do it. So I am thinking... Any suggestions?

i agree to what u said ..but when it come to suggestions in matters like this ..ppl nearly go dull ..in short ..they become Arjun ..
hmm..u can't correct the whole world of ur own ..the best ..u can do is ..if u see something of this kind happening u can go ahead and help that person ..which will certainly give a thought to other persons seeing it too ..if he/she can work for a gud cause ..why can't we ..may be it works out .. making a social group and all ..hm ..won't really help here ..we already have enough of them ..corrupt one though ...
