The real Winner..

I recently met this family on my way to Bangalore..The lil daughter they had was suffering from some heart disease..she was so frail n thin .Looked completely malnourished..and as a result of the illness her nails and lips had turned blue..On talking to the family , it was evident the pain they were suffering from, and as I looked in the eyes of that child I could make out the uneasiness she felt , now that I knew of her illness…
N me..I almost had tears in my eyes..I couldn’t look straight in her eyes .It seemed she had a lot of questions which I could not answer..
And for the rest of the journey I kept thinking of her , what life has instore for her..
And felt a sudden pain and compassion for her...Had never felt such a thing before.Not even when I saw beggars on the street..I guess.. probably coz they find it an easy way not to fight and just go ahead with the flow…
But that young girl taught me what it is to fight…
Will never forget that experience…
