" It didnt end there, i had to resort to marijuana and later on opium also to relieve myself of the stress i faced." I raised my voice. " I used to beat my wife for not handing over her wages which she see earned working as a domestic help. I made her work extra hours for that even. One day my boy got sick and i still got the money from her. He died of TB and i am a murderer now. One day she also left me unnoticed and i was left with no sources to finance me. My neighbourers left me to suffer in solitude. I used to have sleepless nights. I was left here on my own.. Suffering, dying and with no one.. oh god..... buuuhhhuuu sob!! sob!! This continued on and is still that way. But you guys wont care, we, the poor are left to suffer and suffocate out of our miseries to death." I finished at a pitch which had quadrupled from the one at started this dialogue. I saw in the eyes of many of them to see if i was able to catch their attention. It had worked. they were watching with utmost concentration as if it was a bolly fick. i was beginning to get the feeling of a bollywood star!! may be mithun.. Naaahhh.. I threw out my fancy thoughts and refreshed myself for the preach part to start..

" Son, All this has nothing to do with society imposing anything on you. Its all by choice. Its you who chooses what to prefer, I know the authorities are not keeping up for completely eradicate the distribution of these drugs in our society but its also very difficult, you must realize. so in this situation its you who should be responsible." The focus shifted to the audience watching now. " Its you who makes life difficult for yourself. If you want to change something it should start with yourself. Remove the "had to resort to" part from your lives. Depending on drugs is not the end of your miseries. No it wont ever be. It will be the the start of many more. No matter how hard it gets DRUGS are never a solution ." i saw some 4-5 moving out. Not bad, we could continue. so did we "There are many counseling and drug deaddiction centres in our cities that can help you if fail to take the right decision even though." We wrapped with some more educating stuff we worked out by googling. "Thanks a lot and remember prevention is better than cure"

We headed to the lake after that. Well, not exactly lake but a place called Kaimvala. for faging and spending some good time. Thats how we work.
