Who will help those who Help Others!!

We generally talk that people do not take a stand when something is going wrong in front of them. Here I give a reason why, because even when someone takes an initiative to help somebody and that person gets into trouble in front of 100 people but he himself shall not be offered a help.

One of my colleagues was brutally beaten up in Delhi’s most crowded area and was screaming for help but nobody came forward in a daytime last Sunday (28th September 2014). He played his part of being a good citizen by trying to save a girl while she was being molested by a group of people near Pragati Maidan and those morons started beating up my colleague. He was asking for help from people, he was trying his best to get out of that place but his all the efforts were futile. The girl was also begging people for a help to save him, people preferred to remain a silent watcher rather than helping out.

After so much of torture he fell unconscious on the road and still there was nobody who could at least call the police to inform about the incident or take him to a nearby hospital. He was bleeding and lying on the road but nobody cared. After sometime a traffic police guy appeared and admitted him to some Govt hospital, later he was shifted to Noida’s private hospital due to lack of facilities at that Govt. Hospital.

After so much of pressure, Police lodged an FIR but no action has been taken despite the fact that particular area is equipped with CCTV camera. Assaulter's are absconding! Surprisingly the girl is also not reachable.

You would not be surprised to know that police is telling my colleague’s family to not to pursue this case further because according to them Assaulter's seems powerful the way they have beaten him up in daylight therefore might do further damage to your son since he stays in Delhi all alone. Wow super cops we have!! Again Delhi Police you have proved that you are good for nothing and such incidents do happen because assaulter's know that you will not catch them or they can flee easily!

The only thing which I wonder is that were those 3 /4 morons really this much powerful that they would not had been stopped by other 10 people from the crowd!! If those 10 people would have come forward then they would have saved my colleague from multiple surgeries which he is going through– brain (it’s profusely bleeding), multiples fractures and other injuries. And what about finances, that’s also an important factor.

Leadership is not just sitting on a peak position....!

If you really want to become a leader then you should follow few rules -

1. Never bitch about your team mates with other team because you never know if people are trying to break your leadership value through your own bad mouth only!
2. When you bitch about your people, there are more tendency that your people will fade away and will never ever support you because they know that you are trying to pull them down! 
3. Do not let anyone else interrupt in your territory/team because it irritates your people
4. Have faith in people you work closely with because ultimately they gonna deliver on your set of tasks too 
5. You should understand that everybody has their own style of working and doing things so give them ample space so that feel comfortable with you
6. The most important thing learn to trust your people, it counts!
7. Stop comparing them with others..they have their own set of USPs.
8. Try to encourage them but do not insult publicly...they would hate it for sure 

I think this is enough for today....lets keep something for tomorrow  

Lucy – The Unconditional Love – Chapter IV

In the year 1998 my parents decided to come to Delhi for our betterment as in my home town there were no good schools or colleges where we could get quality education.

Honestly I never wanted to leave my home town but it was my parent’s decision so had to settle in Delhi. Initially I was missing Lucy, my hometown friends and my old house.

Luckily our landlord used to have a dog named “Darby”, and I used to play with him J J

Still I was missing everything , but the best part was that we used to have short trips to my home town so for me it was a reason to be happy because that was the best time for me to come to my home town and be with people I had spent my childhood. 

During my second trip to my home town I could not found Lucy around and I was really worried where she was. My neighbour told me that since you had left for Delhi, Lucy started roaming in other streets as well. And now she does not come to our area at all. Also people told me that Lucy had delivered 5 cute puppies, and that was great news to me. This was the time I did not see her around. I came back to Delhi with a heavy heart!!

The third trip was during Diwali festival and I was hoping that this time I will figure out where Lucy has disappeared. I was sitting on the roof to observe sunshine and saw some familiar dog roaming with other street dogs, and yes it was Lucy!!

By the time I went downstairs to catch her she was disappeared. I almost though that she had forgotten me anyways I came back and hoping that will catch her next time. My friend and neighbors told me that they did not see her for so long, it’s just you are here may be your vibes brought Lucy back in our area.

Very next morning I saw Lucy in our area and wasn't looking comfortable et al, she was trying to get rid of something. I went close to her and saw that some jerk tied a very thin plastic thing around her neck therefore she was not able to breath normally. I asked my neighbor if we could really help her in getting rid of that thing. Hey tried pulling that thing but Lucy ran away because it was hurting her.

I waited for my Daddy to come back to home and explained him everything and he replied – do not worry she will be alright, she is a street dog and she will manage things so you just relax. I was convinced with his thoughts.

Next day Lucy was sitting at my staircase and was looking very low, I was anxious because I wanted to take her to the doctor anticipating that she is down with fever or having some stomach problem and nobody was listening to me. I was just a kid who could only yell and cry but was not able to do anything, only thing I could do was praying for her.

After two days Lucy was lying dead on the street!

I was taken aback: screaming at my parents that we could have saved her, she was just sitting at our staircase yesterday and we did nothing for her.  We could have done something to save her, at least could have taken her to the doctor, my parents were not any having answer for my emotional queries! For the very first time I saw my mother emotional for an animal and that was my Lucy!  She did not say anything but her eyes expressed her feelings for Lucy!

O Lucy I miss you, you were the loveliest creature on this earth who was there for me & my family, gave me an Unconditional Love. I gave you nothing just food but you gave me your honest love. I left you to pursue my dreams and you left me to go miles away with no chance of coming back ever!! 

I will always repent that I could do nothing for you. May be you were waiting for me to come back so that we can see each other during your last days on this earth.

You will always be missed; you are there in my fond memories and will be cherished as one of the best buddies I have found ever!

You gave me an opportunity to write about you and express my love for you.

You taught me the meaning of Unconditional Love! 

Lucy - The Unconditional Love - Chapter III

As usual my brother was ignorant about my activities, love for Lucy and I was busy in saving my brother from bad souls around and beating them up to safeguard him ( I hated him for this, brothers are meant to safeguard sisters,  in our house it was the reverse case). After that appetite incident my parents got to know about Lucy so they seemed to have accepted that I can feed her but they never allowed me to let her enter our house.

Surprisingly Lucy sensed that my mother did not like her (my mommy really hates dog and if by any chance any dog or pup tries to snuggle her she would love to shoo them away).

One day I tried getting Lucy into my house, she was following me closely but all of sudden she stopped and that was kind of shock of my life because my mother was staring at me as if she is going to crush me :’( mere ko to almost heart attack hi aa gaya tha choti si umar me :D :)

As my mommy was standing there.....you would not believe it Lucy ran back like anything and she never dared to enter the house again.One of the major reason for mommy to not  letting Lucy enter the house was my little sister. My mother was apprehensive if Lucy could do any harm to my little beautiful angel – Niharika (She was a true blessing of God).

Lucy used to sit, sleep and eat on the stair case of the entry gate of my house, and if somebody tried to knock the gate unnecessarily then  they had a tough time because Lucy used to bark at them and sometimes bite to keep them away from the house :P She never allowed any stranger soul to even knock the door if she was around. She used to recognize my family members,  local relatives, servants and of course neighbors so she was friendly with them.

One incident I still remember my mausi and family came to visit us, she was supposedly to give us a surprise but guess what....she herself got a surprise “LUCY guarding the entrance GATE”.She was not even letting mausaji to knock the door, she was barking at the top of her voice and my mom she did not care that why she was barking so loudly. Thanks to my neighbors who managed to call my mother outside hence my mausi and family landed in the house.

I came back from the school and my mommy was narrating Lucy’ story how she was guarding the house from mausiji and my cousins were scared of her. One of cousin (used to pretend that she is very sensitive and I never liked her for her DILLIWALA Attitude, chumui types :D ) was telling me how horrifying this incident was for her and she was really scared. I laughed out loudly and told her that Lucy is  a sweetheart and she barks only at devils :) My cousin was utterly annoyed but  in a very sophisticated manner she suppressed her feeling of beating me to death :D

Days were passing on: we were busy with our school, home works, tuition and yes fun with Lucy was always there :)

TBC...!

Lucy - The Unconditional Love - Chapter II

As a kid it was fun for us to play with her everyday and it has been so many days still she was roaming  & sniffing around, eating roadside stuff, barking at kids and running for her safely whenever any vehicle was passing by (my house was at GT road in Jalesar, Uttar Pradesh).

It became our habit to play with her, snuggle her and pet her every day, one day we decided to give her a name since she was determined to stick to our colony. So we came up with a name for her, everyone agreed to that and magically she seemed to adopt the name – “Lucy”.

Since we adopted her (unofficially) at our own, we were worried about the shelter because we all knew that our parents will not allow us to keep her in the house.  (I have so many stories to narrate how my mother fled all the pups I had brought home!). None of us were having courage to ask our parents to keep Lucy with us. So we left her at her own to find a shelter for her self. 

One morning we could not find her in the colony, we were worried and filled with weird though like if somebody had picked her up or any of neighbors shooed her away or she was crushed by any of the vehicle n all. But, she was resting at her “self searched accommodation” which was an empty plot in the neighborhood. After seeing her in the sleeping mode we were happy that she was perfectly alright.  Gradually she became part of us!

Days were passing on with our games (Mario), playing with Lucy, mocking each other, small fights with friends, playing with dolls and organizing our doll’s weddings too (cant forget this ever).

All of sudden my father found that my hunger increased significantly, I started eating 4 chapatis and having more than 2 bread slices in the breakfast or whatever thing cooked by mommy, my consumption increased. He got worried if I was having stomach worms or there was some other disease which led me to eat food beyond my capacity.

And one day he discovered the reason of my increased appetite and I received a tight slap as a reward: D

 TBC.......!

Lucy - The Unconditional Love - Chapter I

A little pup walking on the street, wagging her little tail with excitement and was curious about people and vehicles all around her. Though she was scared still her eyes were searching for a companion to be cosset in her naughtiness.

In between few naughty eyes were chasing her moves closely.  The pup was jumping here and there; little frightens but excited to see people admiring her all over. The pup was really apprehensive as she was surrounded by so many unknown faces so was trying to safeguard herself; probably the little pup was thinking that we are going to beat her up. The entire scenario made us laugh like anything because she very adorable especially her defensive mode was super cute.

Me and my friends were super duper excited to see a pup in our colony and wanted to play with her. As you know everybody consider that they are world’s best spy so we also started acting like James Bond to know about the appearance of the unfamiliar puppy into our colony! And we found that the naughty creature was chasing our neighbour while he was on his way back to home after finishing his routine work from the field area. Matru (our neighbour) realized that it’s time for the puppy to go back to her abode hence he was trying his best to shoo her away but she did not want to go back.

We played for hours with the puppy as it was summer vacation time. I am sure was enjoying our giggle on her naughty moves and our affection towards her. Her charming walk, the way she was acting to be smart made us laugh like anything. It was amusing to see her copying us, chasing us with tongue outside of her mouth, moving her little tale swiftly.

It was time for us to go back to our pavilion. Bidding adios to brown skin (I am not racist) puppy with a white patch on her left eye was not that easy for us as mutually we wanted to stay and play with her. And we realised the fact that if we are not back to our houses on time then there was a great possibility of getting kicked out of the house so we to decided to rush towards our respective houses. 

To be continued........!
