The two faces…I will remember….

Incident 1:

An old lady…who cannot walk….who doesn’t have crutches to help herself…and she doesn’t have money to buy one…she lives in a slum and the way to her home is very rough…how will she move…can you imagine…?
I saw an old woman, her age may lie between 60-80yrs, who was dragging herself on the rough road of Bangalore….it was pathetic to see her moving like that…I do not think that I shall be able to forget the picture I am having in my mind….
I did not do anything to help her at that time…but have promised myself that if I see her again then she will not drag herself on the road….
Hope I shall keep my promise…..

Incident 2:

I went to a petrol bunk to get my bike’s petrol tank refilled…after the refilling I went to get the air filling station….I took a 2 rupee coin out of the wallet…the guy filled the air and asked the other bike in the queue to come forward…I tried to give him the 2 rupees…but he said, “Sir, It is FREE”…I replied,” but, everybody wants this money”…
He said,”It’s free sir…FREE means FREE. I do not want this money.”…I was impressed…This is how it should be….I wished him best of luck…Moved my bike to the START state by kicking it…and moved away…wrrooooooooom…
