Dear Diary,

while I was going towards my home, I came across many children on the road with the begging bowls in their hands. I was very shocked and surprised to see such a condition of the children. I felt very disgusting and frustrated about the management of the country who keep on boasting about being one of the major countries of the world. This becomes very ironical that on one hand there are such children begging in the country and on the other the government is raising funds for the welfare of children and on their education. The scene forced me to think that where does the money which is raised by the government go. There is so much discrepancy going on n the country. The scene was very heartbreaking for me.
