3 PM in one of the gulf cities, extremely hot and humid weather, picked the phone, ordered a KFC meal and went to take a shower, the best thing that you might do after a working day in field.

30 Minutes later I was done with my shower, the phone rang, food is here, opened the door to see the delivery guy sweating and exhausted, I looked behind him, he cam by a motor cycle wearing a heavy helmet all the way from KFC center to my home.

I asked him with a refreshing tone to cheer him ..
Me: what happened to you car man.
He: No cars anymore sir.
Me: ..shocked ..why ?! you need the AC in this killing weather.

He: ..company told us..cars are expensive and Business does not  make good money like before..so they decided to cut cost by replacing cars by motorcycle.

Me: what ! you will be killed under this unmerciful sun..humidity and the helmet you wear..you wont survive.

He: sir...either we drive motors or we will be fired.

I stopped here..and somehow lost my appetite... I was thinking how much of our luxury is built on the burdens of others..how this city changed in one year..
how can we enjoy a fresh meal while it was brought by exhausted and drained  person ...a new slavery.

 I've stopped ordering food by phone since that day.
