It was when waiting for my bus to arrive at the stop that I noticed the blind couples being let by another man who was carrying a baby. I believe that the baby should be of the blind couples.
While I was watching them and before my though process could think more about them, the bus arrived and I boarded the bus. The bus got filled as two earlier buses didn't come on that specific day. I rushed in and seated myself comfortably in a vacant seat. When the bus started to move I noticed the blind couple in the same bus but standing and they were searching for vacant seat. Since every seat was occupied I stood up and offered my seat to them. On seeing this the gentleman who was seated next to me also stood up and the blind couple sat comfortably in that seat. I felt a breeze in my mind for helping them.
Then came the surprise for me. The man was explaining about Silapathigaram, Manimegalai and Seevaga Sinthamani - tamil epics to his wife. I was totally taken back with the kind of details he is giving about these epics. I was more surprised on seeing his wife asking more questions while he is proceeding to explain things to her. So I can understand that blindness has not stopped them from enjoying and sensing the pleasure of knowing things that too to the level of reading an epic.
This taught me the most important thing in life - enjoyment and happiness.
