You are Fortunate!

So well, I goto college. And in my college, there are a couple of blind people who also study..... In regular Classrooms!


So one fine day I was standing out in our ground where I saw this one man who was walking around. I went close to him... Well kinda close and he automatically came up to me and asked, can you drop me off to the bus stop?
I wanted to help him out so I said yes, held his hand, and started walking with his pace.
Now how many of you have seen the Bollywood Hindi movie  Ghajini??
In the movie in one particular scene, the lead actress helps out a blind man and also tells him what all is happening along the way like kids playing etc.
So I started walking out and suddebly he said, what's happening?
I wondered what he was talking about. And then i noticed that the drama society was practicing. I suddenly felt a rush of gratitude for everyone and everything Ihad known.
Being with him I ACTUALLY felt how hard it must be living life.
Most of you must've heard only or been told that be fortunate for the things we have and that we're not blind or deaf or well disabled in any form, But actually being with such a person, it was a real eye opener!
That drama practice was one of the few things we would sed and go on along the eay. But for him it was a mystery unless someone told him what they were doing!
So I won't say thank god that you dont have any such disability.... but ATLEAST once in your life, spend 5 minutes with such a person.
You will realize the value of life.
And then again you can start being fortunate for being able to read this, Having a device to read this, internet and of course, the life you're living.
