Hanging in thin air …on a piece of log…. fighting for survival!
I am seated on the 15th floor of my office building when I hear a thud against my windowpane. Busy completing a report, little do I care to turn around when Iam taken aback by the sound of a crash. There are bloodstains splashed against the window, leaving behind a blot on the crystal clear glass. It seems like a soaring vulture has hit the windowpane when I find a skeletal body hanging in thin air.
Here is a thin and frail man with a bucket and brush in hand; cleansing the windowpane .He is seated on a broken peace of log, suspended on a thick rope. The eyes seem to be focused at work. He has just hurt himself terribly and blood is oozing off his arms. Unmindful of the pain, he wipes the bloodstains from the windowpane and continues to go about his work.
A few seconds later I here a shrill cry that pierces through the air. Large drops of blood that are oozing off his arm happen to fall on a lady below. She faints at the sight of blood. This little man peeps down to find the woman being attended to by a crowd. He for once has grabbed the attention of an otherwise unmindful world. A few seconds later, he is back to work cleaning the next window. Life must go on, it s the matter of earning a living.
The tall towers that adorn our city symbolize the growth of our economy. Look around and you will find the stark reality of the common man struggling for survival. At the end of the day, after cleaning the windowpanes he earns a meager Rs. 75. This amount is not even sufficient to treat his wound. He endears all the pain and risk to earn a meal. Will times ever change!
As he walks away after work, I find his shirt drenched in blood. He casually washes his arm under the tap and set outs to have a smoke. It’s just another day at work. …another fight for survival.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? – Thanks

Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
