Homo Sapiens = living\non-living

In Hindi we usually say “NEKI KAR AUR DARIYA MEIN DAAL”. In reality these 6 words Hindi proverb is much easy to say but it can’t be applied in life. If these 6 words may cause soreness in the human body for 6 longs years then what about me? Though this fickle world have put me in the category of Non-living things but that’s not fair….Who are they to decide that what we are….They have just ignored our feeling by saying that we are lifeless things…I want to ask you-the readers that what happens when you carry out some good deeds and rather expecting good returns(if not good, at-least not bad), you were made to feel like that you were simply a puppet….Expecting the good to come in return, someone might call it as one’s selfishness but according to me it’s just an emotional attachment for your act.

I had always tried to make people feel relaxed after their long tedious work and I have been successful till now…I didn’t demand much, I just want my 4th leg back, I again want to see people playing on me. I again want people to say “Let’s go to that Beautiful BENCH (“my name”) and have some gossip.”

I still remember that day- It was an autumn evening, roses were showing their charming faces and spreading the erotic smell. The music was being played by the wind as passed through pebbles. The new baby green leaves were synchronized with the dance of the birds. Four small children were standing on me and playing but suddenly I smelled the sign that something bad is going to be happen. Before I could have made out anything I got a great thrust. A roguish boy hits me with his cricket bat with full strength and I lost my leg in that accident.

It’s been more than 1 year that I am partially standing on my 3 legs. The area where my 4th leg was is now getting support from the ground. Daily the Municipality van comes to this garden to collect the garbage but they didn’t even bother to look at me. Is this mankind has become that blind or it is like that they use the things till it demands something? Why this mankind has turned out to be so egocentric? Have they ditched the word ‘compromise’ from their life? Why can’t they look to other’s problems? Where are all their religious teachings gone? What about the Bible, the Bhagavada Gita, the Quran, which always emphasize on helping others, which always say –try to look to others tears, before yours…


I have always helped others to feel them happy. Many love stories begin on me with the words “I will take care of you always” and ended by saying “You didn’t bother to care about me”. If this humankind can’t go with their words for their own race, then what about me? I think “I should stop complaining and rather try to accept life as it comes because this humanity is not going to change”.
