] Date Posted: 02:22:20 01/08/08 Tue Temple bells, resonant. On the stairs- begging arms and footfalls. She sat on a corner, in tatters; her smile, wrinkled. I had no change in pocket, my helpless eyes chose to look the other way. Yet her voice faintly entered, “you need a heart.” Bells rang louder.

Date Posted: 20:59:57 01/08/08 Tue Thank you Mick, Good Knight, Max & Sasha. The above was my own experience. Unfortunately I really didn't have any change in my pocket that day, but the old lady asked serenely in Hindi "Mann to hai na beta?", which means "You have a heart, my boy, don't you?" And I felt like giving my all at Her feet. This happened way back in 2002, yet the moment stayed with me. Thank you. Cheers. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
