One heard from the Subhashitam.......

In spite of the invasion of the visual media, I’ve remained loyal to my Radio. It continues to air more thought provoking programmes than the visual media. One of my favorites from the radio is the early morning ‘Subhashitam’ of the AIR. Many learned scholars and noble men used to enlighten me and influence my thinking on a variety of topics connected with life at large with their talks on this programme. Often they’ll quote from a text and explain the context and sometimes they also talk on little incidents from the real life.

So here is some thing I heard recently….

It was touching, I felt; please take a look…..

Somewhere in South India, place is irrelevant, a sports meet was on, for children.

There were children from different regions and religions, castes and states and the various echelons of the society.

During a sprint event a little child fell down in the middle of the race and began crying aloud.
Hearing the cry those who were running ahead stopped and looked at each other. Then, to the surprise and discomfort of the judges, all of them began walking back, towards the child who fell down. One of the children lifted the crying child; another cleared the dust from its legs and third wiped away the tears from its face. Soon they were all on their feet holding each other’s hands and together they began walking towards the finish line, each of them spotting the beaming smile of a winner.

The incident mentioned lights up my hope……

What do you think of it?

…..but…….

there is a minor technical problem……..

the event was for the children…..

……who were mentally challenged……….
