Its been years, not one day when for a second I felt that something is missing in my life. Struggled a lot over years but never could reach 100% satisfaction. But things don't normally stay the way they are. The incident and human I am about to reveal to you is real and such kinda people exist on this planet.
I was on my way from kanpur to jhansi after a fairly tiring weekend and was near to exhaustion. It was late night and my patience towards life and god was nearly getting exhausted. Finally managed to find a train and a seat which belonged to someone else. A family comprising of mom dad and their teenage child were seated near me. Things changed suddenly when I asked the lad to help me lift the seat since someone wanted to sleep and his dad replied immediately - He can't. I looked for a second in agony but then understood the lad's hand was missing. I kept quite and helped the fellow passenger to his seat. His dad was fairly quick to reply me back with a sorry and said his kid lost his hand in a railway accident. The situation became intense as I looked at the lad seriously, fair in colour, seemed to be aggressive from the way he spoke, right hand broken and left hand semi-paralysed. He lost his hand when standing on the door with station inches to approach, the train gave a jerk when he fell off and his right hand came off while his left hand was badly bruised. But he was not the guy I would have thought off.
From being a theist to becoming an atheist (so called you may say), this guy never looked low on his energy. Apart from the day he was admitted, he never took an anesthesia while getting his stitches done or for relocating the iron bars planted inside his left hand. Consuming 8 bottles of blood, he was never unconscious after his accident. In complete senses, he knew all what happened to him after the accident. The doctors were scared of him and wardboys and nurses use to run looking at the pathetic condition of his body state. The real question is what kept him alive after a near to fatal accident and most importantly energetic more than an other human I knew in my life? What was he teaching me or trying to convey? A 17 year old lad who was almost near to death looked more enthusiastic than I was ever in life?
It was his will to live, not only to live but to live it up to his best. A reply to every question and an ability to fight his current state, he stood second in his 2nd year with a writer and without studying a bit. The simplest aspect was he accepted life as it is but never gave up. He fought this condition and his will power to be big in life, to not been scared or shattered for what happened to him and living upto the fullest thinking about how future can be better was commendable. The real question of putting this post is if a 17 year old can show this kinda courage in the most disastrous condition is - If he can then why can't I? Why can't anyone who is reading this post live a life without much complaints? I guess we need to change the way we look at life, try being optimistic than just keep complaining about the happenings in life. A guy who lost both his hands asking me what is the line he should decide ahead so that he can research. I mean can we really try and live like this for a moment in life. Try living a day rather than giving up. Girlfriend left you, failed in exam, feeling miserable, being ditched or bitched by friends and want to commit suicide for all these reasons? Maybe you should try giving life another chance. Maybe you should try manipulating your life according to the results you get, according to instances coz future is a blank book and is yet to be lived. Giving up is not a way but fighting hard is. This lad changed my thinking in a million ways, now would back this guy up till he reaches the IIMA levels, he is tailor made for such institutions. I hope God supports me in making this poor lad (poor in finances) achieve something which I could only dream off.
A request to all readers to pray so that our efforts in saving the lad's hand meet success. A gem in making but it will take years till I polish this lad to perfection.
