The Unsolicited Help

We wish God always looks at(after) us, hears our concerns and solves our problems. However, the moment we realize that a fellow being is staring at us, following us or is concerned too much about our details or problems, we are irritated, lose our peace of mind and feel insecure!! He might be genuinely trying to help us, but suspicion, common sense and practical thinking seize the lifeline and blind us from recognizing the messenger of God in such person!!

It has been my observation....our elders and ancestors were not like this!! Even today, they never hesitate to share their concerns. A slight twinge of tiredness, an intertwine of eyebrows, a fold on the forehead are enough for them to read the other person's mind,.....be it stranger, friend, neighbour, family member or acquaintance.......the relationship or distance don't matter at all. They quickly offer help by engaging in conversation with the person, providing him the necessary warmth and confidence to speak out their minds, understanding the concerns and proposing ways to ease them. 'It is their problem, their concern, let them solve it by themselves' has never been their forte!! Malgudi Days clearly illustrates such close-knit mindsets of the days. Just speaking to such elders would help us release a part of our baggage and lighten our minds by few grams!!
To sum up, God has purposefully created species rather than a single specimen of each living being!!
