Being Human!!

hmm.. iTs a long time.. I have been busy.. with my French Classes and then my yrc camp.. but frankly I have been really lazy.. but now as I start to write I want to recal an incident which took Place about 2 weeks back.
I was coming bach home from my coll at about 7. I know its pretty latebut thats when my French Class gets over. Anyway, I was waitin for the bus.. After about 20 mins I finally got into one.. It was ok.. but as we moved on it became really over- crowded. Ppl were literally falling on each other. On thsi the T.Nagar Traffic! I was stranded there for about 15 mins .. and all long I was standing.. and sweating like a Pig!! suddenly I felt like fainting.. felt completely out of breath.. so I asked the girl sitting to open the Window... It was act. a latchless one.. when she opened the window.. the lady sitting next to the window protested saying she could not hold it... even after the girl told that she would hold it till I get better, that Lady did not give in saying it could fall on her hand and so on.. that was the last straw... the girl gave that woman a piece of her mind.. saying that she could not even do such a small service for a person in pain! then she voluntarily gave her seat to me and even helped me get out of the bus when I reached my stop.

In our daily life, during each day when we struggle to survive and to attain success , all , just to make ourselves Happy... we forget that Happiness does not always mean doing something for ourself.. that every1 does.. In Fact its the small things which we do for others.. gives true Happiness that which nothing else can give..
And so I was greatly Touched by her gesture.. and am greatly indebted to her.. Not just for helping me.. but also For Reminding me of the simplest way of being Happy-BEING HUMAN!
