I have a cool friend gang in my college. And in that gang, we used to keep teasing a very nice fellow with a particular name, scapegoat. But only day before yesterday i felt that i was also one of that kind.
I was returning to college from my home on Sunday night in rameswaram express. I was allotted a lower berth after i got my ticket confirmed. I was happy that my fate did not put any extra burden on me making me climb berths. Just imagine, a huge creature climbing berths. I myself get terrified on imagining that, leave out all the difficulties i would face trying to accommodate my overgrown body in such a small space. The moment i thanked my fate for making me devoid of such climbing efforts, the bloody bugger played his trick on me. I set my berth ready and was ready for closing off a tiring day. Suddenly i felt that someone pat my back. I turned around and saw a man, around 30-35 years calling me. He had a pregnant wife who was allotted berth in a different place in that coach. He asked me if i could switch there as he wanted to make sure that he always keeps his beloved wife in his vision. Happy couple :). With their berth too being a lower one i gleefully accepted it. That man took me to their berth and asked me to come. The moment i entered there, a overgrown (trust me, he was way bigger than me) ;) asked.. sorry ordered me to sleep in middle berth, as his father, an aged person couldn't climb up the berth. Poor hari, i never had the chance to even see that lower berth :( I thought it would be unfair to say no in that situation. Me being a good boy :) (i can sense that you are going mad reading this statement, but free ), accepted for it.
Kai ku etinadu vaaiku etama poche :( |
My dad used to yell me for adjusting without any hesitation. But i used to counter him saying that "its a human responsibility to help others" blah blah blah.. But i must admit after this Sunday's incident. Dad, You were hundred percent right :(. Enna Koduma sir!!!
