GOD'S GIFT

AS THIS IS WINTER LET US TALK ABOUT THIS.EVERY SEASONS HAVE THEIR OWN ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. IN SOCIETY THE PEOPLE WHO BELONGS TO THE UPPER CLASS (THAT IS RICH), THIS NATURAL PHENOMENON DOES NOT THREAT THEM,BUT THE BELOW CLASS PEOPLE LEAD THEIR LIVES UNDER A CONSTANT THREAT OF THE NATURE AND SEASONAL PHENOMENON.

IT WAS A CHILLING MORNING OF 90'S IN KOLKATA. Mr.ROY WAS USED TO SEE A POOR MAN BEGGING FOR FOOD EVERY DAY AT THE CORNER OF THE LANE WHERE HIS MARVELOUS BANGLOW STANDS AS A SYMBOL OF PRIDE AND POWER. LOTS OF TIME HE HAD ASKED HIS SECURITY TO MOVE OUT THE BEGGAR TRYING TO ENTER THE HOUSE IN SEARCH OF FOOD , WATER AND CLOTHES.

IT IS OBVIOUS THAT Mr. ROY IS FINANCIALLY SOUND PERSON. A LITTLE FOOD OFFERED TO THE BEGGAR WOULD HAVE BEEN A USUAL THING OF THROWING AN EMPTY PACKET OF CIGAR BY HIM, BUT HE DID NOT.

THE FOOD OFFERED TO THE BEGGAR RATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF GOD TO HIM.

BUT THE THINGS WERE NOT LIKE WE THINK. THE POOR OLD MAN STRUGGLED TO LIVE ON THE EARTH AMONG THE PEOPLE THOSE WHOSE HEARTS HAD BEEN METALED.

IT WAS WINTER, CHILLING NORTH WINDS HAD MADE THE BEGGAR'S SITUATION SO PATHETIC THAT HE THOUGHT OF KILLING HIMSELF RATHER KILLED BY NATURE. NO FOOD, NO CLOTHES TO PROTECT HIS BODY FROM THE COLD "OH! GOD PLEASE HELP ME TO FINISH MYSELF" CRIED THE MAN AT THE CORNER OF THE LANE.

BY GOD'S GRACE! Mr. ROY FELT SORRY FOR THE BEGGAR AND SYMPATHETICALLY SEND SOME FOOD, CLOTHES AND A BLANKET FOR THE OLD MAN BY HIS SECURITY.

BEGGAR WAS SURPRISED AND COULD NOT BELIEVE THE GOD'S GIFT. HE WAS SO OVERWHELMED THAT HE WAS LEFT IN TEARS, MAY BE THE FIRST TIME IN HIS POOR LIFE HE WAS HAPPY. HE WORE THE CLOTHES, HAD THE FOODS. NOW HE WAS IN HEAVEN,HE WALKED TWICE THE LANE AS IF HE WANTS TO SHOW THE NEARBY WHAT GOD CAN DO THROUGH OTHERS.

THE NIGHT WAS A NEW FOR THE HAPPY PERSON, HE WORE THE BLANKET AND WAS ASLEEP.

THE NEXT MORNING Mr. ROY, DURING MORNING STROLL FOUND SOME LOCAL GUYS CROWDED THE LANE CORNER. CURIOUSLY HE MOVED TO THAT DIRECTION,AND FOUND THAT THE BEGGAR WAS DEAD. THE BLANKET WAS THERE OVER HIS BODY,Mr. ROY WAS ROOTED TO THE SPOT BY SEEING THIS. HE THOUGHT THAT HE HAD SAVED THE OLD MAN FROM COLD BUT WHY HE DIED.

JUST THEN ANOTHER SMALL BOY CAME RUSHING TO DEAD MAN AND SNATCHED THE BLANKET FROM HIS BODY AND RAN AWAY, WHILE HE RAN HE TOLD " HE IS DEAD NOW MAY BE WE CAN SURVIVE"

Mr. ROY CAME BACK HOME, SAT DOWN IN HIS SOFA AND RECALLED THE MORNING.

FROM THAT DAY HE WAS CHANGED.NEVER HE REFUSED ANY POOR MAN FOR FOOD,CLOTHES OR BLANKETS.

THE BEGGAR WAS ALIVE WHEN HE WAS WITHOUT FOOD AND COLD PROTECTORS, BUT ON THE DAY HE GOT SOME HE DIED. WAS HE UNABLE TO CONTROL HIS EXCITEMENTS OR HE WAS USED TO POVERTY.
AND AFTER HIS DEATH, THE SMALL BOY!

THERE ARE LOT OF THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE WHICH WE CAN'T EXPLAIN, WE SAY "BY THE GOD'S GRACE."
