Today I was waiting at a traffic point for signal. There I noticed two aged persons with grey hairs in their 80's near my car... The lady was holding the gentleman's shoulder... The way they were interacting, it became apparent that most probably they are cousins and they have met each other after a long interval... And by the way in which the gentleman behaved, it was not difficult for me to assume that the lady was his elder cousin... I don't know for how long they were talking, but just before there was green signal at the traffic point, the gentleman touched the feet of the lady...
I was just overwhelmed... It won't be possible for me to know their identity in any way... Can you imagine? The old man needed one walking stick for his support, yet he didn't fail to pay his sister her due respect.. And what to say about that old lady ... She just unknowingly openly displayed her care by placing her palm over his shoulder...
I am not saying that these are the only ways to show that you care... I am not saying that touching someone's feet is the only way to show that you respect somebody... There are lots many and when you really care, by this or that way, it somehow gets expressed in most of the times... I have given emphasis on "most of the times", because we can never deny that there are so many people who without even saying or expressing anything just do their part....
You know, I felt honoured to witness such an incident.. And I really believe that indeed it may actually become a very nice example of brother sister relationship.... In this time when most of us, the young generation have mostly become mechanical in our relationships, these kinds of examples certainly rejuvenate us and we can once again start believing that... Yes, there is still life in this world of concrete.. !!!
