"Raman is busy getting ready to office. He couldn't find his wrist watch and one of his office file. He shouted out to his wife. He grabbed the watch and file from his wife and stood impatiently as his children are still not ready to go to school. He was getting late to office. Later, as he was going down the steps, he saw his neighbour, an old man trying to bring the heavy rice bag upstairs all by himself.
Raman chose to stay out of the helping business. He said to himself that there would be someone else who is not as busy as him and they could help him.
Raman chose to stay out of the helping business. He said to himself that there would be someone else who is not as busy as him and they could help him.He dropped his children at school and while he was about to move, he saw a young lad fall down at the gate. He assured himself that he is too busy to go and help this kid. He went to office and the day went on. At last he left the office with a sigh of relief. On the way to home, he finds a man hit by a car. He is lying on the road and blood is oozing out of the wound on his leg. Raman wished to help this man, but he had some work to do at home. he thought there would be someone else who is not as busy as him to help this man. Why does he need to leave his works for taking out time to help others?
One day it happened that a drunken driver hit Raman's bike with his lorry. Raman fell on the other side of the road. He inflicted severe wounds and was in a fatal condition. He expected someone to come and help him out, may be take him to a hospital. But surprisingly, so many people passed from there, but no one bothered to stop their vehicle and help this man. Even the passers-by looked at him for so long, but didn't bothered to take him to a hospital. Why would they take the risk and get into some police case for a stranger. Moreover, who has so much time ! Raman waited anxiously, desperately ... only to be disappointed and before he lost his consciousness he thought "may be everyone is as busy as himself and no one is ever so free to help someone else"
It took a long time to Raman to come out of this incident. He understood that everyone in the world is busy and no one is idle. 
He realized that one need not be free or idle to help someone, but should have willingness, empathy and concern to help others. He was lucky to have been noticed by a school kid who rang up to 108 and ambulance arrived before it was too late. May be Raman would never know that the boy was the same one whom he didn't bother to lift, when the boy fell down at the school gate. I hope the boy would rarely bother if this man helped him earlier or not, in order to help him. After all, he has not yet learnt the ways of this selfish world ... he is still a boy of 5 years. We rarely know if he could retain the same generosity as he grows up into an adult"

We rarely know if he could retain the same generosity as he grows up into an adult"Everyone one in today's world is busy in pursuit of their own dreams and busy passing their own lives. Its very rare that people have time to think of others, help others or solve their problems. People even don't bother to give some love and affection to their own family members. We all are already busy in our own world, so why bother about others? where's the time? Consider the same once again .... what if we are on the receiving end?
We think that why can't someone take out little time to help us? Why can't someone do a small favour? Why no one has any kindness, sympathy or helping nature? Just because they are as busy as anyone else in their own world . . . as it is said - What goes around, comes around !!!
Consider this, take out some time to help someone, gave a smile or a suggestion to someone in need, do something for the benefit of others, just try to make someone happy . . .
we would feel more happy than what we were by doing so much for ourselves. Real happiness comes from helping others. As it is said, happiness is in giving, not in taking ! Try to give some happiness to someone today. You need not work very hard for that. We may not realize how many times we neglect our family members, close friends and our well wishers due to some work or other. We always don't need to do a lot, try doing a small favour. Give a smile to a stranger, assure someone in doubt, empathise with someone in trouble, support someone in fear. Try to spare sometime and bring a smile on the face of someone. Take out sometime and think of people around you. See if you can make a small difference in someone's life. may be you can really bring happiness into someone's life by your little acts of kindness .... let the magic work ... Isn't it what we call as "Humanity?"

When an ant finds some food material, it first goes and informs all its team. they work together and share the whole thing equally.
When an animal is attacked, all its herd comes to its aid and most importantly an animal of one species rarely kills another one of same species. Even one species do not kill other animal for fun or greed. BUT WHAT ABOUT US? When a fellow man dies or is dying, another man is least bothered. If a man finds some treasure, he will try to hide the truth from all and enjoy the whole treasure for himself. If someone among is attacked, we are glad that it is not me. No animal kills its same species without a serious reason, but we kill every animal and even our own species if necessary. Humans even kill for greed and fun. Animals have so many principles of living together in peace and they have such a good helping and supporting nature. We are such a Hypocrites that we call this kind of character as HUMANITY ! I wonder if we have more animal instincts or animals have more Humanity than us ....

I want the readers to consider the main point:
We are said to be Human beings, but we are losing our Humanity in this commercial world. Let us strive to be more HUMAN and try to bring happiness in the lives of people around us and also the backward, poor and needy people of our society.
Your small act of Kindness can brighten up someone's life !
yeah...we should never lose our humanity,our compassion for fellow beings.....the moment we lose that,we stop being human......
Really a nice one from you Mr. Manikanth.
Now a days who is bothered for others?
And if we start a discussion of this kind in our friends or in a group then they just star saying... '' chalu ra babu.. chala aipoyindi...!!! ''.
In your story a 5yr old boy helped him at last but here in our present society do you think that our school kids are getting such kind of moral values from schools or parents?
Obviously a BIG NO. because even parents are busy just like raman and schools are busy in making money...
What a pity!
Sometimes I feel that NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING OR AT LEAST TRY TO BRING A CHANGE IN THESE KIND OF PEOPLE AS THEY ARE SO BUSY AND CANT EVEN FIND TIME FOR THEMSELVES.

Thanks for ur remarks
@Santosh
what u said is true ! Today people are becoming like that. but I believe change is possible ... lets try our level best. Thanks for ur comments.
@Phani Ram
Thanks a lot for ur compliments. I believe ideas/ thoughts have the power to change others. Your words encourage me to come up with another post soon ;-)
very nice post
keep it up
The capitalist based consumerist culture in the name of globalisation is the real culprit which has started this mindless rat race...
Now, every one numbers and statics. Everything is all about branding now, including water to cremation.
For many people "updating twitter and facebook is also a busy thing"...
We need change in societal mindset and radical reforms in system.
Finally, i summarize your post as "Humans are lacking empathy these days as they are communicating more with electronic gadgets than humans"
I wish let Global warming finish of total human race leaving the remaining species on earth.
Evolution....
an inspiring post sir...
yes u r true...real happiness comes if we help others...
@Vinayak
Thanks for ur response !
@Mahesh
I agree with ur points. Today the world has become commercial completely and the so called humanity is crushed under it somewhere. I still hope there is scope to revive it. Thanks for ur comments.
@Pawan
Thank u for taking time and for ur compliment :-)
Manikanth garu, you have written bitter facts.Today human race is becoming a threat to entire universe with their acts of greed. I would humbly pray the almighty to create a lot of problems to the humans who are involved in to such acts and also to the one who are not understanding the necessity of being socially responsible.One will understand when problems come to them. Once again kudos to your well presentation of thoughts, hope it bring a change in some
A very nice article.... We see these things daily in our life. People don't give way to ambulance :( May be they are in so much hurry than a patient in an ambulance.
@Harish garu
Thank you for giving ur comments. I agree with u n share ur anguish too ! Many people are so mean that they are becoming a threat to the world around them. A change is required in their attitudes n behaviours. Hope we would be able to see some positive change in our life time.
@Geetha
Thanks for the comment and its true that many people don't even give way to ambulance. I personally see that almost every alternate day. The siren will be ringing but they dont even bother to turn around n see if they are blocking the way. People need to cultivate civic sense and inculcate some responsibility. Let's hope for the best ahead ...
hello sir!
ah finally i got some time today to read your blog,it is very well written that one will surely realize what they are missing to give someone .why to go till someone they are not even bothering about their own family and children itself!though it is strange it is true.after all money matters a lot for them now-a-days!!!
