Kindness is getting lost in the
midst of the busy life that we spend today.
As I hurrying down the road to
complete the odd sets of work, suddenly a cab that stood beside the footpath
opened its door. I stopped. After few seconds as I tried to proceed through
that place again, I faced the same obstacle again. Now, I looked into the cab
to find that an old lady was struggling to come out of the cab. She seemed to
be old as well as weak.
I was in haste but stopped for a
while. The old lady gave me a remainder of my grandmother who is also old and
sick. Though I struggled with my bag but still didn’t waste a single moment in
thinking what should be done.
Opening the door of the cab, I
held her hand tightly and brought her out of the cab. There was a glee in her
eyes. She stood amazed on the road still holding my hand. As I was thinking of
leaving the place, I knew from her gestures that she was thinking of crossing
the road. I helped her crossing the road while I was still running short of
time. As the auto rickshaws were rushing down the crossing; I stopped one of
them to board it for her.
After a bit of struggle, she
finally sat in the auto rickshaw comfortably. She held her hand in a gesture of
blessing. I stood in the midst of the busy street lost in her thoughts.
