That day my mother called me,
"Baba, yesterday Pranab (name changed) came here... I prepared bread sabji for him... It was really pleasant to notice that he ate all the items so nicely... But at the end I felt like crying... "
She paused for a moment... Probably her emotions overpowered her speech...
"What happened maa?"
She replied,
"He said... 'Baidew, basan khini bhaldore dhui thobo dei... Moi bemari manuh je...'!!!"
[Madam, please wash the utensils properly... You know... I am a diseased person !!"]
I felt really sorry for Pranab da... He is suffering from some chronic diseases for which he is undergoing treatment for last 1 year... Till few days back he was actually bed ridden... His disease is not at all contagious, I mean non infectious... Yet from his expression it became apparent that someone's intentional/unintentional activity had hurt him deeply...
As we all know, there are always some individuals who doesn't care about other's feelings and gossip about anything anywhere... If you are that much concerned about getting a disease from a patient, its well and good... Not an offence at all... Take the precautions... But at least try to act human !!! A chronic patient already suffers a lot... No need to increase it even more by your unwelcome attitude and gesture...
Hope soon we all will realize to behave as sensible as possible to an ill person... Anyway, nobody has the right to make a patient feel to be the burden of the family or the society !!!
