Bricks Maker

I found this man some where on GT Road going towards Jhang at brick making factory (bhatta).

People start working on brick making factories since their child hood because factory owner trap their families and innocent people are bound to work their. Those people along with their children and women spent their whole life in this jail and work in hard circumstances.

Factory owner and his men ran on me while I was taking this picture and about to hold my camera but my friends came in time and we escaped from there. I took few shots, and will uploaded soon. Now the question is why the people were stopping me to take shots, its means some thing is fishy there. They know they are doing wrong and taking illegal services from innocent people. My kind of people take pictures and published in papers along with what they are doing. Few days back few children and people recovered from such factory. But at the same time those factory owners are strong and have resources to handle handle such situation.

There is need to work on those labours as well who are working in such factories and suffering. Their living style is below the average. Children are far from education. Families are avoid to take necessary medical treatment because of afford ability. Concerns should open their eyes and work for betterment of those labours as well.

I found this girl near Takht Bhai near mardan, Khaibar Pakhtoonkhwa former NWFP.

So many children like this girl was staying in a local school because they were displace due to military action in her hometown against terrorists. Her parents had their own home and business of her father but at that time they were living in a school. They were looking for aid like daily food, cloths and other daily usage things from the people so they can survive. People of Pakistan help those people a lot but this is an another story how many aid reached to right people.

Its an year has gone since this incident is happened and story has been old now but there are lot of people still living the life like this and not having their necessities. So many children could not get the basic education as their parents has no much money to afford their schooling. So many children could not get proper food and drinking water.

I don't know where this girl is now, might be she has gone back with her parents and living normal life but the question is what is the future of other children who could not find their bright future.

Posting the color version of my this shot on the request of many friends with more details.

My eyes tell my story. The emptiness tells how deserted and abandoned my life is. The long gaze tells the journey of my life, sometimes I feel the journey exceeds the time of my age. The path as cruel as it can be and the hardships at their extreme have raised me to this point at which I am standing today. Standing on my trembling feet and holding one of your shoe in my bare cracked hands as that’s what I do, yes! I clean the shoes for you to earn my bread to earn my butter. I see all the children with their parents buying toys, food and delicious ice cream. I don't know how to play with toys, don't know the taste of ice cream, is it sweet or salty. I see all the children going school in the morning when I am settling down on a road side to start my work. I put my future in the dark to give shine to your shoes.

With a blank mind and an empty heart I am living a meaningless and an expressionless life. But there is one thing I have and that is a question. I try to see at the end of the road and my eyes ask this question, should I cry for help, will any one listen to my cry down that road, is there any one out there for me to. Are you there?

I found this boy name Nooristan at a famous market of Lahore, Pakistan, polishing shoes. He should has toys and books in his hands but having shoe polish and brush. He belongs to some northern areas of Pakistan and managing his bread and butter by serving people here. This is not the only child living like this, so many children are spoiling their childhood by living like this and asking so many questions.
