00:00A 75-year-old couple in West Bengal finally gets electricity after decades of relying on kerosene lamp, marking an
00:06emotional moment for the elderly couple.
00:08Most Indians from the lower classes and the lower middle economic classes, they live pretty wretched lives.
00:16They do provide a lot of comforts and conveniences to the moneyed people, but their own lives are quite miserable.
00:23Even $1 a day is not available to a lot of people. Just imagine, $1 a day, that we are
00:29just too many and too poor.
00:31So people produce kids, and then what do those kids end up as?
00:39They end up as laborers, helps, maids, cooks, cleaners, plumbers.
00:45I am not berating any of these professions, but for sure I also know that being a maid or a
00:51cook or a helper
00:52is not obviously the fullest expression of one's potential.
00:56So in that sense, I am calling it unfortunate.
