Like most of my busy days when I starve for 25 th hr in a days time I came across a particular day which I still think about it off and on. I was on my way to check the mail box to see If I recieved any mails and meanwhile my mind was struggling so hard to plan out the whole schedule for a day.As I was nearing the place , I could hear the happy sounds of laughing, flirting and chattering.This hall is a busiest hall in whole of university campus as it connects to cafetaria, tunnels, mailbox room and all the residences.
On reaching there, I saw a group of students full of life and enjoying a lot. All of them looked like a first /second year undergraduate students. Since,I am always curious of whats happening around me so I took a glance towards them to see whats going on. I saw a young boy with a stick in his hand with his back was towards me and he was surrounded by the group of students.
I couldnt figure out what was the fun thing happening and thus, proceeded to check my mails. I had few mails and while staring at the envelopes to see where it is from and again I could hear a very hard and a loud laugh.
I could not resist myself and went out there to see whats happening. On glancing I saw a same young boy with the stick walking in small circle around the corner of the hall. On his left side was a wall and right side a big garbage can and he was trying to do something.
For 2 mintues I looked at him trying to see and understand whats going on and I realized he is blind and was looking for his way. Since he had wall and the garbage can at his side he got confused and didnt understand how to find his way out.I am sure he was trying very hard for past 10 minutes.
This made me really furious and I fumed me up to a great extent. I shouted aloud at the group of firangi students and told them - " What the hell is so funny about it? Cant anyone of you go and help that person out?You guys have all the time to do nonsense ! " There was a pin drop silence all laughing and chattering stopped and everybody was staring at me but I could still hear the clanking noise of the stick.
I went up to the person and asked him where he wants to go. I could feel he was all miserable and upset from his voice when he said "I want to go to Common Residence lobby".
I took him where he wanted to go and he told me "Thanks,,But you shouldnt have shouted at them" I looked at him in a surprised way and asked "How come you know that I shouted ?"
He told me "Because I recogonoized your voice very well when you asked me where I have to go"
I asked "And ,why you think that I should have not shouted at them ?"
He told me " There are some things which you cannot teach people, it comes to them naturally only If they can feel it and understand it. So how much ever you shout at them no use, and I am sure you came forward because of the same reason."
After few seconds of silence he said "I have to go as I am hungry and I will always remember you. It was really nice talking to you."
I told him " Same here, It was really nice meeting you" and we seprated our way. I came back to the same hall and I found same group of students laughing and chatting on their own as If nothing had happened. I guess he was right there are somethings which cannot be taught it just has to be felt and understood.
