But, for the good...

"Get used to the bad and the ugly"..that may be the message from the heavens that split open the brains many a time..but then there is a twist..well, mom used to tell me that every story has an ending,good or bad according to what it deserves... and the good ones for sure are worth mentioning...the heroine here is an oldie..more than 80 years by the looks..

It was last Thursday, when i had to go to the nearby town Komarapalayam, with three of my friends for getting some cursed documents( which in this case is not worth mentioning). There is this 8 hour long power cut in Tamilnadu, which are in shifts and we were stuck up in the middle of one of these and had to wait for three hours..That was when the plan of going to the nearby "Bavani bridge" stroked us..so there we were and blessed as the sun was less angry that day..It was in the middle of discussions about the damn power cut, that we saw a small crowd on the other side of the bridge..We ran over, out of curiosity and the first thing we saw was two young men diving into the water to save an old women who, by the time was struggling..Thank god, the river was almost flow less and the young men were in full flow.."Suicide attempt", i heard from one of the ladies and i wonder why the heck she was smiling when she said this.."may be,.. her children forced her out of home" said another. The one thing i understand is that there are always a million reasons to be said in such a situation which i felt like dung in the ears..And at last for all the good in the world, the lady was saved..Then, there was all the scenes like in a movie- police, ambulance and that made the crowd  dissolve fearing questions from the authorities..

"And then, the scenes came back to normal" for pete's sake, would be the last thing i feel like saying because i felt it was always normal. What made me say this was the reaction of the people who saw it with no less amazement than an interesting drama ..Two ladies, washing clothes by the river bank, who i assume were the first people to see this considering the location, had not moved their feet.. They were still busy with their work even when the two young men were fighting in the muddy waters to save the soon-to-be-erased life...''Bloody cold", that is to be called..But after all, when i turned my attention to the young men who breathed satisfaction, i knew that there is still hope on this green planet......
