But Doctor it's a girl ?

An act of kindness never goes unrewarded.It is always a great feeling to help some one and bring change in life of someone who is helpless and in difficulty.But our constraints of life and resources give us a perfect alibi for not doing any small act of kindness however important difference it could have made in the life of a person.We always placate our questioning superego that we will help others only when we will be able to and we are waiting for that grand moment.Thus most of our life is spent waiting and striving for that magic moment.Our hope to do good hence remains a hope forever.I am too not an exception,a desire for making a positive difference in the society , in the life of people around me especially those who are needy and helpless.I still wait for that proud moment when i will be in position to fulfill that desire.But i found some people who are not so calculative .instead of waiting for that magic moment they collect what ever their limited powers and resources,howsoever small it may be,to live to the moment and help others.They are quite simple people and still important.My mother told me about the doctor in our neighborhood.Young and newly married this lady doctor and her husband were among few of the early house owners of the colony which we reside today.She established her practices as a Gynecologist here and founded clinic cum hospital in the same house at first and second floor. Private practicing doctors are often seen with an eye of contempt in India.People have a general view that they are money mongers and so charge excessively higher.Being a gynecologist the doctor was visited by mostly people in and around the area populated by a good number of poor people especially Punjabi truck drivers and cleaners.One day a couple arrived at her clinic.The lady was pregnant soon she delivered a baby in hands of the doctor,but it was a girl.After few hour it was found that the couple vanished leaving the girl baby behind.The reason was obvious a girl child is more a liability for a poor Indian family.The Doctor tried to find the couple but at last she adapted the baby although she herself gave birth to two boys afterward.The girl was cared,educated and was able to secure a good job at a reputed bank.
Thus without waiting for some divine sign for doing goods person can still do his small share newer thinking about its rewards.The reason for writing about the incident is that tonight the girl is going to marry to a good boy.The invitation card of the marriage reads her as daughter of the doctor and her husband.A happy ending for a story that had a tragic start.
Some thoughts will always be coming to my mind Do the couple ever thinks or remembers the cute little child they left uncared and alone at the hospital bed and ......
Also how many times we ourselves have stopped ourselves behaving as a human.
