I was waiting for a train i.e scheduled at 9 pm. The train about to come in 10 minutes. I have seen a Blind couple(both Husband & Wife are blind), wife carrying a baby in her hand passing by a distance of 10 metres to me.The husband was walking carrying a stick, hitting it on the ground he is knowing the path and walking. His wife was holding his shirt and was following him.
My heart was trembling by seeing those couple. At any point of time, they will fall on the ground as the path has steps in front. But, it didn't happen. They were walking safely. Along with me, all the passengers who were waiting on the platform have become spectators.
I felt so ashamed because of not helping them to reach out of the railway station.
All the people, whom the blind couple were passing within a handful touch distance also were moving to left or right and giving them a way to pass them and not helping them by taking the blind man's hand and help them for a certain distance.
I was hanging over there by collecting my thoughts over the blind couple once they are out of my eyesight.
First Thought :
- Is the path(From A to C where B is passing Railway Station) well known to them?
- How come the person married to a Blind woman knowing he was also Blind?
- How come the couple carrying a child with them?
- How are they surviving on daily basis?
Second Thought :
- Can we call our PROBLEMS a PROBLEM we face in our(WE ARE NOT BLIND) life, when we think of how the BLIND couple life goes on daily?
