God's Gift!

    Remember I told you about my last Sunday's train journey. During my return journey I saw some scenes that caused some pain inside me. A old aged couple and their two sons were travelling in the train. They boarded at Lighthouse station as like I did.

    The sad part is that both of their sons are mentally challenged. The elder one was standing near the door and mimicking train sound with occasional horn too. Younger one sat next to his mother. He seems to be in his own world and every now and then he will stare rest of us in the bogie.

    When train reached Velachery station the old couple had difficult time to manage both of them while alighting from train.  I was very sad to watch all this. Think how much of pain for the old couple to manage their kids. How painful it will be for them. What do you call this as karma or fate.

    In the end I can't resist myself from thanking god for what he had given to me, call it selfish or whatever. I am off to Bangalore this weekend to attend friend Nagaraja's marriage. Hoping to catch up with old friends after long time. See ya!!
