Working for continuous 24 hours...I was shocked

Three days back i was on my routine way back home in the busiest areas of Hyderabad.It happened that my petrol came to reserve so i had to stop by  a petrol bunk nearby.
    
So i have this habit of wishing everyone i meet with a smile and was having a casual short talk with the guy who was filling my bike with fuel.His eyes were very red and so i asked him his working hours…he told that he had to work continuous 24 hours and then he had to take off for the next 24 hours……..for a moment,I was in a sense of bewilderment  and was appalled by the condition of him.He was slim,deprived of sleep,eyes sunk inside his sockets.
This weird working hours made no sense to me.Medically,nobody should work more than a optimum number of hours , for that you need a good sleep for our brain and body to function properly.

This shows that how people in low paying jobs are exploited in our country.I was ashamed that this was and is  happening.There is  a dire requirement to redefine the dignity of labor.

“All men and women are created equal.”
The above collection of words should prove right for the world to be prosperous.We the people should redefine it.
