Such is the condition....

THIS guy was seriously ill and the train he had to travel by was 24 hours late. His wife asked the railways officials to give them some space in a room where he could rest for the time the train was late. But the railways turned her request down.

She is sitting right in front of the railway station with her husband lying there on the road in really cold weather.

The wife said that they couldn't afford a room outside and the waiting rooms were full. The waiting room for the first class was empty but since they weren't first class travelers they couldn't stay there even for a while. Such are the conditions...a person cannot be accommodated in a first class A/C waiting room but can be left on the road in the cold to die.

Should they be here..??

THIS is Connaught Place. A hub for the biggest brands out there in the market, a hub for the elite. Some find happiness in a happy meal others try and look for it here, a trash bin acting like a swing. Do they deserve to be here? Does any kid deserve to be here?
