The Unwounded Soul - She Took Life with Zest

It was a hot summer day in my village Azhagapapuram in KanyaKumari district, and i was waiting for the bus along with few others, to visit the near by Town by the name Nagercoil. It's not a common scene for someone from Mumbai or abroad waiting in the bus stand, as most of them would zoom in bikes.

During my patient wait for the bus, i just saw a women of above 50 years of age crawling towards us. At first I found it difficult to understand a person dragging herself without both the legs, more of the spirit that she had despite loosing her limbs.

She approached nearby and settled down near the corner of the stand. As she too was waiting for the bus, I began to see this same world but with more of fighters. She was a human being with the might to live life ordinary (if not great), but was extraordinary for other.
