Sunday:
I always wonder how a hero happens to be present when and wherever there is an problem. I doubt if the problem waits for heroes presence to happen or the hero happens to be present in the situation just before a problem occurs. A normal man until then, finds himself in a do-or-die situation and he does and becomes an hero. But i seriously don't understand why those situations never come up in my life.
These were my thoughts last Sunday night when i was returning from a high voltage action movie. Not that this thought crossed my mind only that particular day, it actually was running in my head from ever i could remember. Because I always wanted to be an hero. But i don't find any problems around me to fight on. I had a normal child hood. Have a good job. My father don't have any debts for his son to pay. My mother is healthy. My sister is happily married. My brother is also earning. Even my friends have no problems. Don't know why but everything around me is so normal and just the way that it should be.
In between this thoughts, i came out of the theater. It's 5 km from my place, and after 10 minutes wait a mini van came by. It's a private vehicle, but they were boarding passengers and i didn't want to wait more as it was already getting late in the night. I boarded the vehicle and there were around 20 people inside. I paid the fare for my place and took a seat. I again got engrossed in my thoughts. Got woke up to some noises in the vehicle few minutes later. A guy in the vehicle was having an argument with a couple. I didn't know what the problem was. My phone vibrated for a whats-app notification and i got busy with my phone. A part of me is noticing the argument is beginning to become little big. Doesn't look serious though. But the single guy who started the argument is supported by 2 more guys now. A thing crossed my mind, if i should do something to stop the argument. But, It just looked like a skirmish, and moreover there are few more people in the vehicle. and more over my phone started to ring and even more over my place has come. Without second thought, I got down the vehicle and walked to my home.
Monday:
Woke up late on Monday, As usual wondered how a weekend passes by so fast. Had not much time to keep wondering. Got quickly ready and reached office. In the tea break, saw few of my colleagues discussing seriously. When asked, they said about a brutal rape and murder happened in my city last night. They said it all started with a skirmish between a guy and a couple in a private transport vehicle last night. And the girl in the couple was raped barbarically by 4 guys and the guy was murdered brutally. And the girl is in hospital fighting for her life. I am already late to office today and had a lot of work to finish before day ends. Excused myself from the discussion and came back to work. In between, i was browsing some random stuff and saw review of the movie i watched last night.
And again the thought crossed my mind, Why is that those hero-making situations never come up in my life.
