They
say you are most observant when you are in a contemplative mood, looking
inwards. I have found truth in this saying every now and then.
Today
while driving to work after dropping V at his pre-school, I came across an endearing sight.
A young girl, must be 15-16 at most. She was riding a bicycle with a little
child sitting behind her in school uniform, clutching her fiercely trying to stay warm. Most likely she was dropping her younger
sister at school. By appearance, it was evident they came from a modest
household. The weather is cold now, and mornings are chilly. Riding a bicycle
in such conditions is not what most of us would be willing to do. But the joy
on their faces, and the determination just warmed my heart. The feeling of
warmth lasted for a minute before I got scared, really scared. This girls were
happy, hopeful to do better (the little one was going to school). The fragility
of such beautiful sights is terrifying. I really really pray to God, please look
after them. Please.
