Learning from difficult situations

When you have an urge to help the person in need, you don’t think twice. Your mind may give you hundred thousand reasons to skip, to step back and not to step forward to help. But, your heart that empathize and believes in co-operating come forward like a warrior and express its desire and its purpose which is to help and to serve.
I have learnt one very beautiful lesson from two unpleasant incidents. Two different problems, two difficult situations, but one desire to help. They say your first learning begins at your home. This is so true. I learnt this lesson from my brother.
One day my brother who was returning home from work stopped his bike near the grocery shop so as to buy few item listed on a paper by my mother. He found nearby to that shop there was a house outside which people are standing in crowd and screaming. He went there and saw a mother crying for help for his 12 year old son has severely burnt his hand, every one in the family was getting panic and the boy was screaming with intense pain. It was around 10pm, immediately brother helped the boy raising from the floor with his both hands, managed him to sit on the bike with his father and they all rushed to the nearest hospital. Immediately the boy got admitted there in the emergency section and his immediate treatment started without any delay. After few hours being with them, he handed some money to his father, and returned home late night. He not only did this but also visited the hospital next day to know about his well being.
Another incident was around March 2006 when city had witnessed communal riots just few days back and curfew like situation prevailed in Lucknow, after the Varanasi blast. The city was facing the bandh which was called by BJP/VHP. The bazaars were mostly closed. My brother was at the Aminabad, very famous market of Lucknow, due to some mishap in the old city (Old Lucknow) rumours of riots spread like a fire and the forces were deployed in some areas. They were dispersing the mob and asking the people who were in the bazaar to return to their homes. So while returning from Aminabad near the Qaiserbagh Chauraha brother saw a girl child of aged between 14-15 yrs standing on the pavement of the cinema hall crying and getting panic, she has gone for her classes in the morning as all was well in the morning and now when it’s time for her return then things have drastically changed. So he stopped there his bike, asked her to go home as the condition of the city was not good, panic-struck was she has no idea on how to inform her family, as everybody was in hurry to leave that area. So, he gave his cell phone to her, so to inform her parents, my brother also talked to her father and who in turn requested him to wait till he comes. Brother agreed to wait. And after 20 minutes the father and the daughter met and brother also returned safely to home.
These two incidents reveal that we should always come forward to help each other in need that is what humanity is all about.
