Grey Matter

I work in the so called IT corridor(Old Mahabalipuram Road) of the  Chennai  city.During my everyday journey to office i happen to see these school children of the local villages,who go the Government Schools on the road, struggling hard to get into the already full over its capacity Metropolitan bus(MTC) in order to reach their schools.Most of the times these little 7 to 14 years olds hang in the foot board of the bus to travel to their schools.The beaurocrats and the politicians speak of reducing the school drop outs but here are the children having hardships to even go to their schools let alone study there.Its a irony that the high tech buses that carry the IT workers to their workplaces ply on the same road in huge numbers.These buses normally have enough space to carry some of the school children on their way.Or atleast after leaving the IT workers, the buses are anyways free which could be used for transporting these children to their schools.C’mon its time the IT coz pay back  the preferential treatment and SOPs they get from the governments and act with some social responsiblity.
