A deprived girl from slums...

A girl from the slums gets fascinated watching electronic gadgets whenever she gets the chance of looking at them. Although she has not touched any of them in her life and had never had an opportunity to look at them from very close, she doesn’t miss out on any opportunity of looking at them at least from some distance, by hiding somewhere or by keeping herself un-noticed from the owner, as she admires their beauty.
She sometimes approaches some people, asking them to show their mobile phones so that she can take a closer look at them for sometime but they decline and drive her away in anger. Some mock at her saying that she is so poor that she is not eligible to even look at the equipments of such expensive class.
Every time she hears such comments, she bursts into tears thinking about her poverty and the misery associated with it. Once on her way back home, she overhears two people talking about how rich the nation had become over the years but she feels from deep within herself that the poverty and the immeasurable and unending grief surrounding her and her family and many others like her have never been considered in this rich country.
