Hello Fresh Morning,
Today its Independence day of
India. 15th Aug. I was quit busy since morning as my son has to rush
to school for flag hosting ceremony and I was worried as I have to collect him
later by 10. I hurriedly completed my daily jobs and was heading to take bath.
Suddenly a call came from a unknown number on my mobile. I was in no mood to receive
the call as it was 9:30 already. But my mind made me to receive the call. It
was my assistant doctor Dr Pawan. He asked me preferable time to meet. I was
confused and said yes if he can complete within 10mins. He agreed.
Within 5 mins he was at my door
step. “Tell me what’s the matter?” asked him with a gesture to sit nearby. He
was very silent. As I saw him for a while he broke into tears. I was bit
surprised and started guessing his problem. He was about to open his clinic
with the funding from parents. Might be he is in need of more money and parents
denied, I guess. With a silence of almost 5mins he sobbingly asked, “Sir Do you
feel something odd in my behavior?” I was more confused with the question. I
thought might be something of mine has hurt him. I said “nothing, just you were
engorged in your clinic setup..” He was still sobbing. The problem is something
else I guessed. Dr Pawan is a young Marathi chap who was having found of Gym
and work outs. He was having a muscular body but very timid nature. He look
very aggressive but was very mild from inside, like a coconut. I was surprised
on this issue what went wrong “What hurt you so much Pawan” I asked. After
taking his time he said “I had given a job to a carpenter to make partitions
for his clinic, but as I was not having much amount at hand thus was in search
of budget carpenter.” “One was ready to do the job with 500rs more, so I gave
him the job” said he. “Then” I asked. He said “Next day another rang me and
said to do the job at my quoted price. I was happy to save 500rs and took the
job from the person and gave it to the latter one.” “So” I said. “Today I went
to take the material from the 1st one to handover it to other one. I
reached his home and found that his brother was paralyzed, his father was not
at good health and thus I felt bad. I felt like selfish; to save 500rs I didn’t
give him the job.”
I was shocked by the emotion he
was having. In the era where nobody thinks of his near ones, Dr Pawan was
crying with guilt of fault. This was mistake or not I don’t want to go in
ethics but the main issue was that there are persons who really think the other
way. Usually this happens a lot with lot of people and lot of time.
Pawan was waiting for my explanation.
I said “Everything happens for the good, says Bhagvat Gita.” “There must be
something good coming to him and don’t feel yourselves as the cause for his doom.”
“This is life. It shows the same colours, what you want to see. This time you
have to be at your priority and don’t waste money. Next time whenever you are
going to have the similar situation, try to help the needy. Also you can send the carpenter with another
job”. I was happy to see humanity and emotions through the eyes of Pawan.
Thank you.
