My art teacher gifted me a very beautiful candle that she got for me from Mahabaleshwar.
The gift is very special to me as the candle is made by a blind man who makes and sells these candles.
I am writing my 10th story for my book and it was around a real life incident that took place in a blind school at Delhi in 2005.
I could not find the right ending for my story but this candle gives me an idea or I must say that it gives me light of hope that God created people with a sixth sense – sense of ‘Humanity’.
My teacher told me that the man with special powers (I address them as people with special powers) was touching to understand and tell which candle costs how much and he was as good as selling them as anyone else. He was good enough to figure out whether you paid him the right money or not. And he was quite good enough to return you the right balance amount.
Strange!!
My cousin brother was in town and I met him after 7 years. He asked me a question – we have ‘women’s day’ but there is no day as ‘Men’s Day’
I was so witty to comment – there is nothing men have done that they need to be appraised. But this was just like teasing him as deep within my heart; I believe that a woman is incomplete without a man. They complement each other and that is what I am trying to celebrate on my blog as a part of Women’s Week 2012.
This candle and the story of this blind man living up to the expectations of his family and society is just one example of many such instances. But I am sure he is an inspiration for many women who lose hope in life and surrender to it. I am really inspired by him and that what makes me blog this.
GTG!
