This was the most pathetic scene that I had to see when I was waiting for Rajdhani in Gauhati railway station.....A group of children between the age of 10mths to 12 yrs were curiously looking into the railway tracks..... well i got curious too...specially now because of the Bomb Phobia.....I went closer to see and then i saw what pulled these children towards the tracks. There was a dead chicken lying down there. and they were crowding near it debating among themselves who would go down and get it. After a lot of discussion (so it looked to me) one of the older one decided to go and pull it out of the tracks. I was just wondering what were they planning to do with it....when suddenly i saw some more older ones rushing towards the spot.Naturally word had spread.....and then there was a tug of war between the two groups for the dead prey.... finally i could see all the feather and wings gone and the group which won the prize sat down to clean the remaining skin. Today there would be a feast .......by the end of the show I had bile in my mouth and i went veg as long as i remembered the scene. Sad isn't it...we take the food on the dining table for granted.
