Every news channel on 12 of April had the breaking news titled ‘NOIDA HORROR’. The two sisters who were rescued by the police and the NGO, were found in a starved and dehydrated condition. After watching various channels I learnt that both the sisters were mentally disturbed and their situation worsened after their father died. They also have a younger brother who now stays in Pune with his wife.
The elder sister was in her early 40s and was well- educated. The younger is in her 30s and a Chartered accountant by profession. For past seven months they have been in isolation. Finally with help of some NGOs they were rescued. That day, every channel carried a catchy headline, ‘mahanagar ka nark’,,, or ‘ Iss mahanagr mei koi apna nai’’ stuff like that. I also got to know that the sisters believed that they were inflicted by some black magic.
Whatever might have been the reason, but I am sure every single person who got the chance to have a look at that video must have felt a great pain in the heart.
After watching this incident, I kept wondering that what does such an incident indicate?? Does it prove that people dwelling in small towns are far better?? Or Does it prove that we are living in a century where if required even the family members can shrug off their responsibility for their selfish motive?? Or Does it proves that we all are so damn busy in our lives that we hardly pay heed to what is happening in our surrounding?? Before I could arrive at a conclusion, I got a sad news that the elder sister died despite of all the positive efforts made by the doctors.
I was unable to pacify myself. I kept thinking how can we punish our body to this level that even the bones in our body could be counted. Those two women did not eat anything for past 3 months?? They were wearing woolen clothes in summer season. Sounds just so strange!
Each one of us faces ups and downs in our life but that doesn’t mean that we get the right to disrespect the life and the precious body given to us by GOD. In how much pain GOD must have been after watching those women suffer badly. I know many of you must be thinking that it is easy to write such big lines but only the afflicted can understand the depth of pain. I know it is difficult but not impossible.
Even in the worst situation of your life, if you don’t get a shoulder to cry,, a hand to pacify, , or few words of sympathy don’t get disheartened.. … You just need to get a chance to meet the real heroes of life...
-You just need to look around and see how a rickshaw-puller works hard every day but still his family starves every alternate day.
-Remember the last time, when you saw a small kid working in a ‘dhaba’ and he was so happy to serve people
-Just look around in your area and you will find every fifth women staying in your neighborhood is a victim of ‘Domestic Violence’…
-Do make a visit to the nearest old age home of your city and you will get to see the real India. The oldies staying there always carry a question mark on their face as if they want to say- ‘After 60 years of love , care, devotion & concern , Are we really a burden to them’’
-Just take out some time and speak to the servants working at your home,, ask them personal questions… you will be surprised to know that every day they face public harassment in one or the other way….
-The list goes on.. but still you want to see some more,, then just make a visit some of the luxury bungalows,, with big business and lavish life-style… In most cases, you will find that the only precious thing that they have is ‘’MONEY’’…
So does all these examples signify that these people are not living a life?? They are no different from us. It is just that they are little more courageous than us and they respect their life unlike us. They have the spirit to fight every facet of life. They are not losers like us who keep cursing their life. They make sure to win every challenge that life throws at them.
We should be grateful to GOD for giving us a life of a human-being. Always remember that such tough moments in our life come to test our patience, sensitivity, self-motivation. How can we forget that every cloud has a silver-lining. Every difficult time in our life will lead us to better days…
Amen!
