Real Life in a Metro

Whenever I travel through public transports ,like buses ,autos,I saw & observe hoipolloi, everyone rushing towards his her destination,mens rushing towards thier offices ,children moving to thier schools,labourors moving to thier sites,each and everyone is in hurry.
It might be that for some of them there might be no hurry but still they are in hurry because its now a routine stuff,ita a culture now.
I see thousands of faces everyday but out of those lots of faces I can't forget some faces which people generally avoid to see & observe or simply don't care.
Sometimes I saw things like that it touches my heart ,I don't know why ,but it happens to me,tears roll down unknowingly from my eyes.
We all saw daily begger kids, handicapped people and people who are struggling for single penny.But we do nothing, we found such characters in most of the metro cities of our country ,we can found them lying on footpaths ,traffic signals & railway stations.At max what we do just drop a coin and move ahead & forget everything.
We think we are done with our moral responsibilty...Even I used to do similar thing.
I don't know why are we becoming so emotionless and self centered just busy in our own lives. Can you ever imagine that how pathetic is the situation where a human is not having sentiments for another human.
Life in metros is simply mechanised ,they even don't know who is living door next to them,they simply follow the rule work for five days and have fun on weekends,as simple as it is.This breed of people having nuclear families is on increase ,they are becoming used to 'mall culture' and complacent towards thier moral responsibilities and even liabilities to thier nation also, they even don't care who the hell is ruling the nation I met such people and they surprised me.
I am not a saint or social reformer , but sometimes it pinches me and I ask question to myself why there is so much suffering and disparity among privileges among the people of this world,where are we going ,what we are going to achieve with such a panicstriken life.?Why God has created disparity is it right to blame God or to blame ourselves all such questions stifle up my mind.

I want to quote one incident here:
It was just another day in metro city of Hyderabad when I was returning back to my place in local bus, at some traffic halt I saw two small girls near side bay one was around 10 and the other was around 8.One was playing drum and the younger girl was dancing and performing gymnastics & acrobatics. She was bending her body from each and every angle she might be facing pain but she has to perform. Crowd was around them ,some of them dropped coins and most of the lethargic guys were enjoying the show free of cost.I was in the window seat I w=just wanted to drop a coin to them but the bus moved on and I can't .I felt so bad don't know why, I know that my small monetary help was not going to do a big change ,but it might have added some extra bucks to thier daily earning.Both of them don't know what thier future is ,what they will be doing next day ,next year ...
Is completely a fiasco we saw regularly such incidents,but we do nothing ,those who are capable enough don't have enough time from making money .They even can't donate a fringe amount for the betterment of such peoples .
I think we are the El-Dorado nation where destitution is still in existence, we are becoming economic giant but still those who are poor still poor , those who are unprivileged are still there ..the things are not changing at grasshood level.
I don't find a certain conclusion to it , I have no answer to it .. don't know If I am right now not capable enough to explore .. or someday I might get it.
I am ending this topic with Big Question mark , may someday some one can answer this..
