Whose third world?

Post hurricane Katrina everyone is running about,working for relief work.And Im not talking just bout the Americans.The British,Australians,French and even Russians(though i think thats very hypocritical).But what most fascinated me was India is sending relief to Katrina victims.Can u beat that!!Our so called third world country is helping the great United States of America.Heart warming?Maybe.More like shocking.I mean,Im all for helping these victims and all,but what about people here,in out country?Living in the most
inhuman of conditions.There are about 1400 buildings in Mumbai itself,declared unfit for living.Which means they can collapse any minute and no one can do anything about it.The so called transit camps are even worse.Some of them smell worse than most public toilets! Tragic.Thats the word I can think of.How about helping these people find new homes.But then,we live in a country of hypocrisy where there are no divorces,no one is gay and no one suffers from AIDS.So helping a country which is perfectly capable of helping itself comes with the package.Plus I understand the political issues involved.But what amazes me most is how fragile the so called civilization is.Maybe its just a facade,to hide the the vulnerability that exists within the human race.One blow,and everything is gone.
Its Sept 11 and everyone is praying for the souls of the people who died in the attacks,inculding me.But lets just skip the diplomacy shall we,and pray for the souls of people who died in their sleep when the roof over their house collapsed on their heads.Lets pray for the people who sleep in their houses everyday knowing their beds might become their grave.Very soon.
