The dearth of Love..

'Love' is a feeling that all of us own and have a small heart hidden behind it. It's the lub dub that creates all the music. The music that we always carry within ourselves. The only time when we believe that it's not the brain that is sending the signals but the heart is speaking out. 'Love' is a pleasure sometimes or an inconceivable affection. Above all of that, there is one more Love that has started to extinct among us and we as humans are ought to treasure it.

'Care'.... I don't know how many of us care to love or love to care others. Just a while ago I was on my way to dinner hall and an old lady was standing outside my PG. She looked very distraught and tired with her inability to seek anyone for help. I just walked by her side, hiding my face so that she doesn't catch me. I walked as though she is no concern to me and probably she is trying to get the fool out of me. After I entered my dinner hall, I could still see her from the window and with the mere understanding I wanted to help her. Before I could take my lazy butt off the chair, I saw a young man from our PG who got down from his 3rd floor and took her empty plate to our PG cookhouse.

That was it. All these seconds what I could do for her was to only look at her with sympathy and nothing else. The very second after the young man returned with the plate full of food, I sank into the pool of shame. My head was down and I couldn't see any more of it. I started to finish my dinner and silently left the hall.

I just learned that If I might had taken the initiative, I would have been a proud lesson to all of my friends. But this time, the lesson was from a selfless man who unknowingly without a single drop of greed gave me a lesson.

What is more disturbing and distressing is that,
".......I was only 20 seconds away from her and he walked from his 3rd floor which might have taken his 3 minutes plus some effort.....and all I could do was nothing..."
