You know what? I am still celebrating my completion of schooldom..hehe..Now as the schools have begun,I can see little kids carrying more than 5kgs weight school bags on their tender shoulders.They walk like camels with a hump .When I was in their place, I remember I  had a terrible hunch that was the boon of my heavy school bag.

whenever I walked passed overloaded bullock carts walking to school,I could empathize with the bullocks.I could understand what they were going through….I was no better...

The hunch never left me even after I went to college.I believe I must have looked like Hunch back of Notredame..atleast the hunch part..hehe

I was happy to see a report of a local Hyderabadi news channel that a smart  man introduced school bags with wheels..aha..what a welcome change!

These bags are now being sold like hot samosas and the trend is fast catching up!

Now kids can drag their ‘burdens’ instead of carrying them.They look like they are going to the airport to take their ‘flight’ off to school..hehe..

I do not understand why the teaching staff cannot plan each day and ask the students to bring only those essential books that they need for the day.Why should kids be made to carry almost 20 books daily and reportedly 5 books alone for science...

The school authorities should make desk lockers that would help reduce this burden.With doctors warning that a heavy school bag can cause spinal cord injury,it is time that the school authorities woke up!

Unburden the already burdened kids…Parents out there buy those ‘bags on wheels’ plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
