My seven days stay at Hampi refreshed my soul. And meanwhile brought few changes in my life. While coming back my mind moved backwards to one special incident which left an unforgettable touch. My Hampi tour would be incomplete without this incident. While coming back on the way, I saw a child who was standing near the highway and looked lost. I told the driver to stop the car and got down from the car and spoke to her. She must be around 7 to 8 years old.
Walking through the pages of her life, born to the naiveté challenges of youth. As the destiny’s child, she was gifted from heaven an asset to the cruel world! The sunny tone engulfed her cloudy thoughts, flames of evil sharks glowing along her tender mind. I looked into her eyes, they reflected on ocean of new hopes and desperation. Fate betrayed her birth. She had no journey ahead for her today was at a stand still!!
She was so hungry. I realized the fact that she missed her school bus by which there were going to picnic by their orphanage, which was almost 25kms away. After having tea when they left this child by mistake was alone. Thereafter searching for them she had came almost 6 KMs and had no money to call someone. Unfortunately I was not maintaining cell as well those days. Shocked?? Yeah, I was no found of cell phones and never used to maintain them. I never felt its necessity because I always believe in being simple but somewhere in my mind. I had a thought that if at all I need it means then if at all I find my future friends then only I may go for it. That too just to keep in touch with them.
We turned the vehicle back. The child got inside the car and sat next to me. I gave her the food whatever I had. She was so hungry. After almost half an hour we found the orphanage. When we got down a puppy came near to us .I think that was orphan too It was looking at her hands. She tried to give the food what she had. I just stopped her and gave the chapatti’s which I had parceled for myself (to have in the journey) to that puppy. She was so happy. When I was returned I just looked at her. Her smile confronted the occasion. She had forgotten how to laugh. A meek endeavour to camouflage her innocent. The girl cried though her eyes complained for tears. She longed to speak. Her lips seemed to be searching for words. ‘Thank you’, echoed her uncertain voice. She was Destiny’s child who walked towards the silent corners of the orphanage.
The burning problem of India passed in front of my eyes at that moment. Negligence of parents towards baby girl .Partiality towards them!!! The people who do abortion if the baby is girl, the people who leave their baby girls at orphanages passed in front of eyes. There are so many couples who want to have kids, may they might spend lakhs of rupees for many operations or may donate huge amount of many but they never think of adopting a child and giving a future to them.
I don’t know why I always wanted my first child should be a baby girl (Some-where around 6 years from now when I marry). If not, then I don’t hesitate in adopting a baby girl. Trust me, it’s cent percent true.
When I returned, outside the gate I saw the same puppy sharing the piece of Chapatti with its mother. Both of them later were looking at me. When I was about to sit in the car the puppy again came near to me. I just got down and took the puppy in my palm. It started to lick my hands.
I always heard that love is blind. Excuse me.
Can love really be blind? Of course it can. For more proof just take a look at your dog. No matter how badly you treat it, or give it stale food, it’ll still love you unconditionally. That’s blind love! And only dogs are capable of giving it and not humans. So please don’t call any human beings as ‘dog’ and don’t insult the dogs! They are far better than humans, resemblance of unconditional, blind and pure love!
If we were able to give it we will at least think of those orphans for sure. Isn’t it?
That’s why I always say, ‘Adopting is not taking birth by womb instead taking birth by heart!!’
And how many of us have the heart??
