I was alone at home yesterday .
My maid is a middle aged women , down to earth , simple and with great attitude
. I was too in the kitchen and she told me her story . Not more than 15 minutes
, but it was too emotional .
Her husband was suffering from
heart blockage .7 years back , when things were too bad , she decided to go for
a heart surgery for him . Took him to AIIMS . Things didn’t turned well. Operation
was performed with support from the
society members who contributed money for her .
After 3 days , his condition degraded
. She finally decided to take him to
ESCORT heart institute . Looking at the condition and financial status , one of
the senior doctor called her in and asked , if I perform this operation free of
cost, will you be able to keep your husband alive as it would need close to Rs
3000 / month for the next 5 years .
She just saw at the sindor and
the bangle in her hand , life spend so far and her love for him , prayed and
said "Yes"
Its almost 7 years now , her
husband has not moved out from home . This lady is alone handling all the
activities , and her love and dedication has kept him alive .
I was moved by the emotional bond
she has with him .
Its so true again , happiness doesn’t
comes from money , its all in the feel and the connect you have with your loved
ones .
Her respect in my mind has
increased many fold .
