This competition makes him myopic, this velocity makes him disconnected, this pollution blinds all my senses, this city life allows his heart to forget his parents. Until. Until in the hurried race to cross the road he observes this young boy stop to help a blind man cross the road. Until he passes by a gurudwara (sikh house of worship) where lakhs of needy are fed daily free. Until he cross a graveyard. He is filled will remorse for he realizes of his de-evolution. He's hit with memories as a fast moving train. He feels the weight of the world over his chest. As the tear droplets form under the lower eye lids weigh his eye brow he is on a roller coaster of thoughts, of regrets. He sits down and weeps without releasing any sound but that from his breathing through his mouth. He stands up feeling revealed and calls his mum. He walks home with a smile and a satisfaction he hasn't left in a long time. Such is the effect of love and care. Its contagious and its weightily.
