Please read the exact conversation..

First I made him comfortably seated..

And later checked his progress..

And asked him..”..how r u feeling now..”

He said”..Though there was initial aggravation am feeling better now..”

I very casually said”..good..but dont worry.. Treatment for skin problems is a time consuming process and aggravation is a good sign that the medicine is working..so i will give u some more doses of medicine and use them..am sure u will feel better..”

As i was preparing the medicine mixing some German dilutions he was silently observing me..

He said..”u r using so many costly medicines and ur not taking any money from me..”

I smiled and said”..this is not my profession and only a hobby..and by God’s grace I can afford to buy these medicines..i want people to be happy..thats all”and finished the process of preparation..

I was about to hand them over to him..

That time he told me..

Told me something that shook me off the ground and shattered me to the core..

“Baaboo..the last time when i came u asked me whether i have any disease..i said no..but i forgot..only after going home i could recollect..four years ago I had throat cancer and took thirty cycles of treatment(friends,pathetically speaking, i do not know what is a cycle of treatment and what comprises a cycle but for sure i know that it is worse than a hell)..now am alright..my father and fore fathers lived beyond eighty five and if God blesses i will also live up to 90..”

I thought I was listening..

But i was shocked..benumbed..speechless..

I didn’t know how to react..but only found him looking at me with that same enigmatic smile..

He got up and shaking my hands with a thanks sought my permission to leave….

With a most idiotic smile on my face i nodded my head..

Though customary i even forgot to see him off ..

Finally..

He left….

Leaving me shattered..shattered and shatteredddd…

My dear friends..

In our day to day life we come across scores of people who will bore us with their personal problems and if it is a small health related problem they will actually kill us by speaking volumes about the pain they are going through..

But here..

This man…

Does not remember that he had cancer once..

Does not remember that he had passed through a terrible hell of thirty painful cycles of chemotherapy(????)..

And also..

Does not even remember that he almost knocked on the doors of death and was mercifully kicked back by GOD..

Surprisingly so he wants to live for ninety years..

Wow..What a man and what a state of mind..

My dear friends..

What else can i say..???Except one thing..

May God bless him..

That Is All…………………………………………………………….

Hellllooooooooooo…

SHATTEREDDDD…??????????????????
