True Indian

Well after a heck tick day at college, i am finally back home, and am having a cup f nice hot coffee.

but there is a lot of personal importance to this blog, actually its about a man whom i saw on my way back,in a private bus. This is a thanksgiving to that man in a way. he gave me two lessons to remember. some thing about what a normal kerala boy suffers from, each day is the problem here also but,at the end hope you would see the difference.

In kerala,there is a right in constitution for students who travel by private bus,that is,they need to pay only quarter the price of bus ticket. you might think wow,but each day a normal boy in kerala needs to here lots of abuse from conducters of the buses due to this,they are not even allowed to sit in vacant seats.

Today in my way back,i travelled in such a bus.conducter of bus told us not to sit,but then one of the passengers got up and asked me to sit with him,he protected me from the conducters snare all the time, a very rare human being, i met there,I thought. But then I realized that he was just doing what an Indian citizen should be doing. How many people like him can you find.

We have doctors, engineers, architects, professors, managers ,teachers, social servents, but this man was just a carpenter with only 9^th std education and I can guarantee that 90% of people in the bus was more educated than him. Today I found that its not the attitude of the person that determines his true value. He was ‘gold’ while others were ‘bronze’.

This was my 1^st lesson,now my second lesson was that he reminded me about being fearless and that there is no point in studying if you are afraid to do the right. He told me that he was the 1^st son out of 9 in his family and so to support family, he had to stop his education. That reminded me of the duty,that we as educated Indians had.

With lots of prayers for that and his family I praying every one to remember the lessons of this Indian and live it.
