Yesterday I was at the marketplace at Lucknow and one bike passed by where a little kid of about 5-6 years of age was on the rear seat holding tightly her father or may be her uncle who was riding the bike. It might be a pleasure ride or for some work, but her face clearly expressed the satisfaction, security and the comfort she was feeling unknowingly and thus it reminded me of my childhood..
When I was at 4th standard, I used to come to my then primary school which was around 10 kms away from our house by sitting in between my maa and papa on papa's Rajdoot motor cycle. Everyday papa first dropped maa at her workplace, then me and at last he went to his college. Like this little kid, me too could understand nothing at that moment, but now I can feel that comfort and security that remained unknown to me.
Its just a single example.. You know, there are so many instances.. Sometimes we even feel our parents to be our worst enemies, but later as we gradually grow up, we come to know about the significance.. I am not telling that our parents do the right things all the time.. Too err is human.. But its also true that whatever may be their income, most of the times they try to provide us the comfort and the facilities to their level best which we quite often fail to understand!!!
