OLD AGE - a curse or a gift

Not much time has passed when this incident actually occured with me . I was at the railway station waiting for my train to arrive as i was alone after taking a glimpse with the activities happening on the railway station like that family who had small kids and bigger luggages..it seemed as if they were actually not going for a vacation rather getting themselves settled at the respective place!!! the girl whose eyes were wet as she had come to see off someone really special , these mingled expressions of people made me feel the depth of each expression ; curiously as i was trying to get lost in the novel that i was carrying and i suddenly heard a cry..he was a lean man in his late 70's , a young man in his early 30's was thrashing and throttling him . The most disappointing part in all the chaos that was occuring was nobody in the crowd even bothered to look up to the old age.

The police was gazing as if it was a laughter challenge show, the crowd so was numb as if they had lost all their senses to feel and see !!! in this modernized world all of us aim to achieve heights , in this race of mankind why do we forget the people who have made us capable enough to make our decisions..i can'y understand the feel , the touch , the soul that used to talk is somewhere dumped or we dumped it on our own..how can we forget the shoulders that made us see the world...seems like in this race of getting ahead we have left all are feeling n expressions behind...the pomp and show has led into something that we are not....even after an year when i close my eyes i still see the pain in his eyes , the pity on his face..may be i can never forgive myself as i was also one of the poeple who was just ogling and doing nothing...may god bless that oldie and curse the one's who ever hurt him!!!
