I am there for you......

It was around 1.30 - 1.45 in afternoon. Cellphone rang.. "Hello" "I am Tanmay's class teacher. Tanmay has fever and also has vomited. Can you arrange for his pick up within next 30 - 40 mins?" When his class teacher declared the time to pick up I thought it was really matter to think of. First call went to Gopal. "can u pick him?" "I came on cycle today... I will grab friends bike and pick him you dont worry." "you will be traveling on highway. it will be windy." "What to do now?" "ok.. give me some time I will arrange for something.." "Radha...." the only word I uttered... "I will call back you in some time.." I told Gopal and kept phone down. Next moment was call to Radha.. "What are u doing?" "Nothing spl yaar.. Anushree got fever so she is at home." With a little hesitation I asked, "got a call from Tanmay's school. He has fever and also vomited, I need your help." "Dont bother. I will b down in 5 mins." Before I could lock door and get down the first floor, she was there with her car. It was not even 5 mins when she reached me. We brought tanmay back home. he was tired and fever was there. Radha herself went to medical shop, brought medicins. dropped me home and she went back. it was about 1 hr travel from home - school - home..

When you offer a help to someone its really effortless. You dont feel anything troublesome in it or you dont feel tiresome. but when someone needs your help and when he / she gets it within time, it feels more like God running down your way saying "I am there for you... " Thanks for being there when I needed you much!
