Standing near a boiled egg/omelet thela on the outskirts of a vegetarian neighborhood with my chachu. Saw something which irked me. and like all that things bother me, i left there and then and forgot about it.

The thela owner apart from making delicious omelettes and serving the appetites of pseudo non-vegetarians was committing a crime. A crime that is wide spread and happens at every 'gali-koocha' of our neighborhood.

Child Labor.

2 kids around the age of 10-12 employees as helpers to the thela owner. Amazing thing is, the police in their PCR van stops in front of it, and doesn't take a second look at the violation of law taking in presence of public with complete pomp and candid way.

they came, they ate and went away. I came, i ate and i went away. I made a video recording from my cell phone that presents an evidence of the reality.

Should i do something about it? Or should i be a silent cum mute spectator. I am choosing the latter. why? It is convenient. I have my own job to do. With my daily problems to deal with. Would it be a sin if i don't deal with it? Would that be bad enough to damn me? They say, the bigger criminal is the one who has the power to do something and doesn't.

But i am making my peace with myself by not acting without any excuses. If I act then there would be no stopping me. And i am not ready to don that role.
