This birth of you is for me

“This birth is only for Kalagnar Karunanidhi” is the statement from his personal assistant Shanmuganathan after Karunanidhi’s demise. Do you sense the heaviness of it? He had spent nearly 50 years with Karunanidhi. Yes, that is a prime part of one’s life and it truly means one life time.

I was thinking whether I remember anything similar to this. Though not exactly, I immediately got reminded of Engles. If you read about Karl Marx, you will know how much is the contribution of Engles in Marx’s life. That is no lesser than Jenny’s dedication.

Thinking a little deeper, I feel there are too many people like this. That is, people who give their entire life to someone else. Of course, one life time is not a small thing. Some people spend their entire life for some cause, some for their work, some for their people. Some give their physical presence and some give their whole thinking and some both. Giving the whole life for a single person, physically and mentally, with zero expectation of any benefit is something noble. I don’t know whether anyone can do that.

What is the point in thinking of whether to cry or not when the tear drops are already burdening the eyelashes? She spends 24 hours at home and I know she does everything for me and nothing for her. I am sure she will continue it till her last breath. She gave me life and her this life is for me. Thank you mom.

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
