Cold Weather...Cold Hearts!!!

This blog is based on a true story!

I would like to share this incident. I left from work and on my way towards the train station found two of my close colleagues Pratibha and Dolly waiting. Wondering what they were doing as it was pouring. Just to my surprise I saw a man lying down with no movements. It was pouring real heavily and these two women were seeking for some help to pick this man up from bystander MEN!!

Birds of same feather flock together. I too join the brigade of Pratibha and Dolly! Coz we were women all slim and petite, it was pouring and it was difficult for us to pick this man as we didn’t know whether he was dead, had fainted, was stabbed or was alive or had some stroke. No clue as he wasn’t moving at all. Since he was lying on his stomach made it even more difficult for us 3 to find out what was wrong and to the worst he was lying at the turning at one of the most busiest station road where vehicles speed like crazy. Our concern was to move his body so that if he was alive he could be saved and couldn’t be hit by a speeding motorist that was the primary aim. To move him to a safe place and then call for aid but, it was like we three women yelling our lungs out and asking for men at the nukkad "please help us move this man, he could be alive, we can save his life”. No one! No one! It was like we looked fools, in such cold weather and heavy rain we weren’t concerned about ourselves. We were asking men to pick this man up as we couldn’t move leaving him there as if nothing had happened. Our hearts are still warm and beating not dead and stone hearted yet! Shopkeepers & bystanders all of them just looking at us. It was crazy. Then one old man said "I will help “but, he sure couldn’t move as he was really frail and pretty old.
GOD helps people who want to do well. Our office assistant Nagraj came and we all 3 were smiling until then, I was screeching my lungs out" arey koi haath lagao, koi ise uthao, kal aap bhi gir saktey ho". Our office assistant and this old man picked him up. Thankfully there wasn’t any wound or he wasn’t stabbed. We thought it was a stroke or he must have fainted. My concern was “is he alive?” He moved all soaked in rain and muck I was happy to see him alive, then he opened his eyes These two men then moved him to a safer corner. Seeing him alive we 3 women took a sigh of relief and thanked our office assistant and the old man. But, to our surprise this man was DRUNK!! This dog was DRUNK and had fallen!! Just outside a local deshi daru ki dukan-I guess its called country bar!! The moment he woke up he looked so dangerous!

Dolly was screeeeeeechn in her animated best form! "Sabby!! Look at him, he’s looking so dangerous!!" I felt like slapping him hard and saying “go home you dog!I missed my train!” He was indeed looking so horribly drunk and scarrrrry!! After sometime he stood and we left. Ummmmm, lemme be honest, we RAN as he started to behave wierdly, bizarrely but ofcourse not to our surprise!!
With mixed feelings I didn’t know if we were right or people who didn’t help were! And then when I look back the first thing that comes to my mind is my friend Dolly’s reaction once this man was up and about!! I do first is breaking into some laughter coz my friend’s expressions that were, were indeed hilarious!!

However I don’t regret helping him stand up coz he could be dead if someone ran over him. We didn’t know who he was? Where he was from? And who all were dependent on him! I am grateful to Almighty that he gave us 3 women the courage and strength to seek for help where MEN were just standing and looking at us in distress trying to help save some life. It’s really heart breaking to see people going so cold and MEN what can I say? I am not a feminist and precisely why this blog shouldn’t be taken as a biased one! I hope not to find anymore people fallen and if I do I will still continue doing the same HELP and SAVE!! So should you all!! MEN you all need to HELP WOMEN who are trying to help others! Please don’t stand as silent spectators and watch the game. Leave the scene if you don’t have the courage!!

Message for all:
"Don’t drink so much that you can’t protect yourself and if you wish desire or want to get drunk and pass out make sure you are at home!!!!!!!!!!!"

MY CRISP LINEN SHIRT!

Well this blog isn’t about celebrities, talk show, politicians, movies, social issues, realty shows etc. Sorry to disappoint you all in this regard!
This blog will be close to my heart forever…..well this is about relationships!
How people meet, fall in love, fall out of love, fall in love all over again and then fall out all over again!
Well romantic to the core that I am….I felt like writing about relations, companionships through experience but of course!
I am someone who believes in “once bitten twice as keen” and not the regular as it goes “once bitten twice shy”. Once you are in Love life seems to be pleasant, colourful , full of hope and promises! We neglect so many things in and around us and chase one dream of being together with someone you love the most. It’s HIM! HIM! HIM! HIM ! And only HIM! (HIM as in for me, it could be HER for the opposite genderJ) All set of priorities change….the fact that you are in love and have someone by your side, with or without HE physically being around is more than satisfying and a feel of contentment in life!

Just the fact that when you shut your eyes you see his face….he running fingers through your long tresses, kissing your eyes, holding you by your waist and kissing your slender neck, holding u tight up in his arms….or you curl up in his arms cozy watching some movie makes one feel so loved, secure and protected! In good times and in worse….in health and in pain you want his shoulder…u want him to be your strength….

Then why do people fall out of love?? Misunderstanding? Distance? (In geographical sense) lack of knowledge about the person what she may be going through or the unwillingness of not listening to any reasoning? Or some foreign hand eh?

I have been there and seen that all….!!
For me being in Love is like wearing MY CRISP LINEN SHIRT!
That’s classy, rich and the most comfortable piece of garment to be dressed in!
It feels heaven …same as while you are in love, very attractive …same as while in love and very confident….! If there is something wrong in any relationship….like crease or wrinkle on the linen shirt….we try and iron it….so that it looks fresh and new and bright! Why don’t people do the same….I have seen the most toughest side of a broken relationship and I must admit…I kept ironing…..kept forgiving and forgetting ….but if people continue to crease up, one day the shirt you once flaunted would no longer look bright, dazzling or spanking new. It sure would take a toll on the fabric ….that’s the relation here you are most committed to and have been trying to give your finest! As u keep ironing the linen….the other partner is busy to hit upon or find some more ways and means to crease it further….you are busy giving your unsurpassed, matchless effort to sustain as it’s the dearest, priceless, incalculable dream that you are chasing of being with the one you love , you care , you desire for! But alas you fail…..you fail as u were busy ironing and wanting for things to amend….I too failed as I was busy clinging the linen shirt close to me cleavage….I never wanted to part with it….I never wanted it to unfastened its CRISPY feel…..! But regrettably it did as the ironing process went on for a much stretched time!
Don’t dare to ask me how long …..By now am sure I would have been awarded for the “Best Laundry Woman”…is what few of my pals say!!

If anyone truly loved you or you loved and may have gone far away for reasons told or untold…don’t fear to pick up the phone and iron the wrinkle out…but beware….if the person continues to be difficult and finds all means and ways to fail your efforts and blames you and questions you and never sees the toughest efforts put up by you to alter for good….please dump the iron! Coz…if you question someone, you need to have the heart to believe in what your mate is saying!

Well, does that mean to reconcile, forget and forgive is bad? I wish I had answers to that!
But people who live by what their heart says….are sure for the best of all…..I don’t regret as I live by what my heart says, I continue to share, to care , to give, to feel and to dream, to love and to sport a fresh Linen Shirt just out of the production house! And I have unlearnt the process of ironing!!

Love isn’t bad at all ….We humans are…..Life isn’t unfair….We humans are…..Life is beautiful and so is falling in love!
So come Fall in Love... and sport the Crispy Linen Shirt all over again incase you have failed before!
