One of those moments..
When I was doing my UG in Coimbatore, there was a girl's school, opposite my college. Everyday so many cute small cuppycakes had to cross a NH with very heavy traffic to get inside. On that day, as usual I was late and running towards the College. I heard a voice calling me out 'anna'(brother). I turned and saw her. She was the most cute kid you'd ever see with scared little eyes. May be she was late that day, and had no company. She asked me whether I could help her to cross the road. I figured why not and I offered my hand to her. She held my index finger. I could sense that the fear she had for being left alone had changed to immeasurable strength. Her eyes grew happier. She walked with utmost courage. I believed that the little company she had at that time was making a huge difference. The longest road she felt she had to cross had then became a piece of cake. The vigorous strength she had was all based upon the trust she had on me. It induced a slight fear that I had to be more responsible while crossing the road safely. This is all about being in a parenthood right? The more happier and stronger the child becomes the parents feel more and more responsible to make it last forever. We both crossed the roads. She said 'thank u anna' and went inside. The distance which I walked that day may be shorter, but it gave me a longer lesson to remember in my life.
