At 10, she is a care taker.

At a mere 10, she is an orphan and a care taker. Of four siblings.
I remember, when I was 10 my worries were what would mommy have packed for lunch, and not when will I eat again. Will I be allowed to sleep for some more time tomorrow, and not where will I take refuge tonight. Also about the homework for the day, and not about not being able to read and being duped by rouge shopkeepers of all my cash.

And then the Govt has the audacity to ask you, 'what have you done for the country?' !

How about setting up a system where the orphans are taken care of. Which is free of the numerous ghotalas, scams, corruption cases that have somehow become the order of the day.

After all ain't they the ones who would be asked in a few years' time to do something for the country.

At 10 she is a care taker while we were only learning to cross the road alone.
