Today was 02nd October 2024.
Go get grandmother to the railway station, my sister told. It was around 2 PM. I was just resting while listening to music and was thinking something. I got up and then moved towards the toilet, my granny was there so I took keys of bicycle. The plan was that i would just help my grandmother to move 2 heavy baggages.
I would get my granny on an auto and then with the help of my bicycle i would transport the things to the railway station which is a little more than a kilometre. I consider myself young and healthy so, i don’t have a habit of holding the railing to go downstairs, neither do i keep my full leg on the stairs, i just keep enough leg to have the grip to descend down further. As soon as i stepped out from the room. Dhamm – i skipped a few stairs and was on my back.
I had a minor scratch on my leg. The 4 kids living in the 01st floor all came out, they knew someone has fallen. They saw below – still they coulnd’t see anything. I just casually came so they don’t detect me that i have fallen but kids are kids. One of the kids shouted “Bhaiya gire hai” means the big brother has fallen and all four laughed. It was hurting a bit but i controlled, i also starting limping a bit. Still i took the bicycle out and got the two baggages there. As soon as i started moving, my eyes started to malfunction. Needless to say that i am very proud of my eyes.
Everything i was looking at was looking much brighter than normal. My body reaction time got a bit slow and senstivity also got a bit low. I was frightened. Somehow i got out of the colony – only to find that my senses were not working properly and it was even difficult for me to cross the main road with my cycle. My grandmother for the first time in my young life crossed the road before me. She herself stopped an auto and then i was on my knees. I handed over the two baggages to my granny and told that i won’t be able to help her out as i falled from the stairs.
After that i got down from the cycle and I started feeling dizzy. I sat down in scorching heat and i was even having a hard time sitting. At that time i could see my death and i just wanted to avoid it. The nature got me on my knees. It told how tiny i am to matter. I then started to feel like vomiting. One thing i knew that people feel good after vomiting but i wasn’t vomiting properly. After half a dozen of tries i vomited on the side of main road. All this took around 10 – 15 minutes.
No less than a few hundreds people passed both on vehicles and by foot, Everyone could see a boy trying to vomit and struggling even to sit properly but no one cared even to ask about my situation forget about getting a glass of water. I really wanted someone at that time to give me a glass of wate or atleast ask about my situation. I was too vulnerable at that time to ask for help, also i don’t like to get people to put in uncomfortable situation soo i skipped asking for help.
I remembered while donating blood voluntarily for the 3rd time the man doing all the procedures told me, you are doing it but when you will need blood, no-one will do that. Below is that man on the call who told me that.
I replied with proud that i am doing my work, let others do theirs. And see today 馃ゲ. Still i am not going to change my nature of helping others. After a few more minutes after vomiting a bit, i felt better. I just walked back to my house Humbled by nature.
