Living just three contrary days – 45 Days of Life And, then, discuss the prevalent growth model

By Rohit Prajapati, environmental activist 

Only for three days live a woman’s life from dawn to dusk Only for three days be a Dalit and move around, living near a temple Only for three days be a tribal and living their life in a remote village.

Only for three days be a urban or rural displaced and doing the rounds of government offices Only for three days be a Muslim and try buying a home in city’s general neighbourhood

Only for three days, living the life of a city slum dweller

Only for three days, sleeping on hungry stomach

Only for three days, living in Kutch’s desert the life of a salt worker

Only for three days, spend time as a patient in a government hospital

Only for three days, try as a student studying in a government school

Only for three days, spend a day as an SSC or HSC student

Only for three days, being a river that flows through cities, near the industries

For few days opposing freely the errant governments, politicians, the strong and the rich

Only For three days, talking to one self keeping the mobile phone aside

Only for three days, spending time with books

Only for three days, living with everyone in a life with gender parity

Try living just contrary days for some 45 days

And, then, discuss the prevalent growth model …
