It was 31st of December, last day of 2019. As usual I went to office. Most of my colleagues were on leave. Office looked empty and I didn’t feel like working. In my cabin, out of 15 employees only 3 were present. It was damn boring day. So, I decided to take half day leave and join my friends who already planning celebration party for new year. When, you want time to pass quickly, it passes slowly. Even one minute looked like an hour. I was just waiting 3 more hours to pass.

It was 12:30 pm. I took another break. Whenever I take break, I check my watch. I went outside the office to take a walk to pass the remaining time.

One gate of office was temporarily closed due to BBMP road construction. So, I had to walk little extra. Usually, I felt lazy to walk but that day, even I loved the extra walk. I just reached Infantry road. One side of road was closed, JCB was digging. It became little difficult to cross the road.

I hated crossing road and now because of JCB, I hated it even more. I felt like mission impossible to cross the road. My mind was like, “This much walk is enough”.
I didn’t listen to it and decided to let’s face it, let’s make this mission possible. I was almost crossed the JCB occupied way in couple of minutes and was about to cross the road. I was trying to focus on crossing road, but I noticed a guy wore loose white shirt and dark brown formal pant standing middle of the road, holding a long stick in his hand. He was shaking the stick. I observed, he was blind and trying to cross the road. I noticed that there were many people overtook him, but nobody offered help to him.

When I saw this, I really felt bad for him and thought of helping him. In no time I went directly to him.
“Yeli hog beka, Anna” (Where you want to go Anna)

I said in local language (Kannada). I could see, he felt relax and calmed down himself.
“Bhaiya, Shivajinagar Bus stand jana bhaiya” He said. His voice was like he was looking for someone to help him. Without even waiting for my response....
