Heart wrenching story:


            Heart wrenching is not the word. Rather, I would say it’s most poignant instance in my life ever. It was a cold morning during the month of September.. I was walking along the asphalt road on one of the busiest streets in Bangalore. I unexpectedly came across something bizarre. Something that was appalling.

            There was an infant on the road. He was completely naked and was looking for something to eat in every trash on the street. I quietly stood over there and observed his every move.
 
            Fortunately, he got a food packet with little roti in it, thrown by a pedestrian. I could see glee lighting over his face. He sat in a corner of the pavement, comfortably to eat.

            No sooner he started eating, there was a street dog, waving its tail and expecting him to feed it. The boy gobbled few handfuls and gladly gave it to the dog and patted it over by running his fingers across its fur. The scene is etched in my mind.

            I thus learnt that however we starve; we need to first quench our thirst only after getting the pleasure of helping others to quench their thirsts. An arousing experience which was heart throbbing. I later went to the boy and gave him a huge chocolate bar. His smile spoke thousand thanks. I went away happily…
