At last! I am both happy and sad. We were successful in shifting the man lying outside the city bus stand in Mysore to hospital. I called up the District Rehabilitation Centre and they said due to the recent deaths at the Centre, they have been ordered by the DC that they cannot admit any old person directly. So we called up the Police and they shifted him to K.R. Hospital. The sad part is, whereas normal people who are poor don't get treatment in that hospital, how many days will this man survive?
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
