It was just another day, with the same hustle and bustle around. I was about to take off from my office at it stuck 6 in the only clock in my room. This clock used to be the most watched item by every other person in the room.
As I got up from my chair, I felt my phone vibrating deep in my pocket. On the other side of the line was my brother asking me if I would be home soon. Taking the phone in one hand, I garnered all my other junk in the other. I then started taking strides towards the exit. By the time I reached the ground floor, I was done with the call and was talking to another friend of mine asking him to come outside the office as we were about to leave home together. Usually I would hop in as a pillion rider with any of my colleagues, but that day as I was leaving early I had to take the city bus or share auto, which used to the most dreadful thing for anyone who comes to my office. It was half past 6 when I could see a share auto moving towards us. The driver was in his early 30's I suppose. As he came near, he asked us as to where we were heading? I told him the place and he told us to get in. As I entered the auto, I saw a lady in mid 40's holding her husband who was dozing off. As I was about to take my seat next to the man, I could smell alcohol. I could get the whole picture as I laid my ass on the cushioned seat. The lady next to the man had tears trickling down her cheeks. Her eyes told a million stories, in which every single line seemed to be tragedy. As I sat there prattling with my friend, the sobbing noise started to creep into me slowly. Suddenly the man, who was oscillating in angles more than a pendulum, fell on me with a thud. The lady looked at me remorsefully .I shook my head in a way of accepting her apology. Compassion started creeping in me with the very sight of the helpless lady .But all I could do was gaze at that lady with sympathy. I wanted to help her, but didn’t know how should I ? How should I have reacted in such a situation?. There are lot of questions which breed into my mind for which I didn’t have any answers. Well, I am still in hunt for the answers.........u got ny?
