“SORRY!”… The word which is not limited to just a word of English dictionary…

Incidents happen in our life, which we simply ignore. Is it possible that one incident can change the meaning of the word “SORRY”, which we use so frequently in our daily life?  




Yes. For me this word is now not limited to just a word of English dictionary…
I saw my watch. It was telling me that I was already late to office. I had to cross the road to reach my destination. But it was huge traffic on the road. God knows what has happened to this beautiful city Bangalore. I was murmuring to myself and started crossing the road.

Suddenly I dashed into someone. I simply said “SORRY” (A normal word that comes to every human being when something happens wrong) and started walking towards my way. I was in a very delight mood and couldn’t analyze the upshot.

After crossing the road I found out one voice. Somebody was literally screaming. I turned back just to know what had actually happened? One man was lying in middle of the road and people were crossing him like he was not a human being. My heart started thumping wildly. 

I forgot that I was getting late to my office. I started running towards that person. One question was running in my mind that who was responsible for his situation. When I reached there and turned his face. OH My God!

He was the same whom I dashed just 5 min back. Blood was coming out from his mouth. Everything was now clear in my mind. When I scooted that person, he lost his balance and fall down to the road. For a pedestrian, signal timing was only for 2 min and everybody wanted to cross the road within that time that’s why nobody took care of him. Everybody smashed him like a toy.
Suddenly I saw one stick that was 5 feet away from that person. OH My God! One more shocked for me.
He was blind…

I was very depressed at that moment. I was the one who was responsible for his current condition. I called 2, 3 people for helping him out. Blood was unremittingly coming out of his mouth. I took him to the St. John Hospital. I was thanking to the GOD that hospital was very close to that place. After half an hour that person was perfectly alright and could talk easily.

When that person came to know that I took him to the hospital, he was very much delighted to me. I told him the whole story from starting to end.
While returning to the office I was thinking on the way, in spite of saying sorry to that person if I had balanced him then he would not have faced such a horrible situation.

When I reached to the office a full satisfaction was appearing on my face. I couldn't understand what had happened to me but later I realized that the word “SORRYwas not limited to just a word of English dictionary…

poor guy. This time he was lucky that you were there who thinks about others. These days two problems are killing humanity. One this word sorry :-)(kuch bhi karne ka and sorry bolne ka) and second we are so busy that we are reluctant to help anyone.
Really good, you turned back to help someone:-)
Anyway nicely written and thoughts have been conveyed in a beautiful way. way to go.........:-), keep blogging, lookig forward for more blogs from your side

Yes Vishal, You are very much right. These two thing sorry and busy are really killing the humanity. We must have to boost the people for giving some of their time for NGOs where they can teach the slum kids or they can help the poor people. Also we should minimize the use of this word "SORRY". I just hate this word. I am pleased to tell you that am working on one story (novel) that is based on this word "SORRY". Hope I will finish it in next 2 or 3 months. If i get any good publisher you ill find it in market soon :)
