My father was hospitalised in KEM hospital being one a victim of train bomb blast that happened on 11th June 2006. I had gone to KEM hospital to meet him. Many victims were admitted there.
Some noble Mumbaikars had come to KEM hospital with an intention to help those victims in need. Some were distributing water bottles; some were distributing biscuits packets & some were distributing fruits.
Many victims knew that they may never be able to live their life like before as they had suffered lot of injuries. They were in incapacitating pain but while accepting something from the people who were distributing water bottles, biscuit packet, fruits etc many victims were able to put a smile on their face.
It’s indeed tough to smile to someone on the next day after suffering a bomb blast in a running train.
Some people were able to smile & some were not. Amongst them I saw a newly married young woman sitting next to her husband who sleeping on a hospital bed next to her. He had suffered many injuries. I was wondering how strong she is as she looked serene in that situation.
When she was offered water bottle & biscuit packet she was able to put a smile on her face. To smile in that situation is indeed tough.
Her smile showed gratefulness, hopefulness, humbleness, optimism & many other positive feelings which I don’t have words to define.
With this I conclude that every heart has some pain. Some hide it by isolating themselves, some express it verbally, some cry & some hide it in their smile.
In my personal humble opinion strong are those who hide their pain with their smile & strongest are those who hide it with their smile & make others smile.
A smile is a curve that sets many things straight :) There are situations in life where it is very difficult to smile but every time you are able to smile, you experience one moment of bliss!!
