Not all would agree to the fact that the
food provided in our mess is not so bad. It depends on the person. I have experienced one each. every month to know how the taste is and find which one best
suits my taste. All these caterers look after the daily dining process in a
different manner. Those many people who cook and serve us food include the
hierarchical mix of owner to cook or server to the crude cleaner who tries to
keep the mess as clean as possible. There’s something common that I found out
in every caterers. Though they are not children and in a country where child
labour is prohibited and education is encouraged, we can find many workers of
my age or less probably. They are visibly to be at a school or college at this
time learning their native language or English or Indian history or all those
crap our educational system taught all of us in our school days. It would feel
that they were and are all crap but they’d come in handy someday for everyone
and moreover, the time you enjoy with your friends alongside learning is
something what’s defied in these people’s case.
I
had always thought of getting to know someone among them and asking about the
same. Maybe I am right and I could really lend a helping hand by one among the
many ways; say for example if he is an illiterate in English, which he could develop
by informal talk with a letter and a word a day basis. Or we could have an
interactive session after their work if possible or a common time convenient
for them so as to conduct the session which could work for the benefit of them.
After all, they are one among us and they deserve to learn too and not let
their youth drain itself inside the kitchen and mess alone. This can even start in an informal manner and then expand to a formal
one. The only factor that stays between the realization of the idea and the
failure is the enthusiasm they’d show despite the hard, hot and busy day’s
work. Why not hold hands for a better
community that gives for your fellow being the right to learn through us? Or maybe I am wrong...
