the city of 11,680,000 people(wiki :P )thousands of culture.,hundreds of religions,awesome places to hangout.
this is enough information to lure any fugitive mortal to get attracted.
the city has many aspects,many faces.
last week i went to north Delhi for my big big entrance exam,
discovered many things which was yet unknown to me.
that bite of Delhi was unprecedented, yet fascinating.
their are many things that combines all the factions of Delhi,well ya..one of it is a metro.
i remember,it was last month,when i was coming back from my usual route,i went to explore the top most hospital/college of India-AIIMS,(where getting admition is more than a dream) and changed my route towards its back gate.
i went through many languishing sights.
the area was fully occupied by many people relaxing on there small piece of bed-sheet.some were enjoying their dinner while some were just sitting with an expression of tension on their face.
for small children,it was a playful venue,while for elders,it was an hard time to be struggled
their i saw a lady was sitting in a melancholy front with a small baby who's face was covered by an outmoded torn quilt.
it was a cold(some 12*c or so) and was a bit breezy evening.
a sudden urge stroke me and i went up to her to fetch my curiosity.
i asked her-kya hua?yaha kyu baethe ho?thand nai lag rahi?waiting room mai baeth jao(which is not in a good condition)
she-nai beta,bhara hua hai,aur hum jaese logo ke liye nahi hai.
i stood silent for sometime.
i asked her again-kya hua...aap yaha kyu aaye?
she removed the quilt from her child's face.
i was quite blown away from what i saw.
the child was barely 2-3 year old and had 'graves disease'.it is a disease which causes excessive bulging out of an eye due to some hormonal imbalances.
the poor child's eye was totally out of its orbit and was discharging pus.
soon she covered his face again.
i asked her-yeh kaese hua?kab se hai?
she said-yeh toh bhagwaan ka diya hai,
i didnt understood what she said.
she later told me that she was given a specific date by the doctors for the operation and now it was postponed because of unknown reason,
she had came from some far away remote area,and now was supposed to wait for almost 10 days for her child's surgery.
the whole experience left me thinking that is it fare whatever happened to her?
TODAY,i went to the same place.and what i saw was quite unbelievable.
that place was totally empty,.
it seemed like some big vacume cleaner must have maligned and gulped away all the human existence of that place.
i wondered where they have gone?
what must have happened to them?
was it like some magical stuff must have happened to cure their ailment or a god must have descended from the skies to ward off their misery?
