• Rainbow Stories 4 From the city after my heart, Guwahati! This year, February mornings and evenings are still chilly. Early morning joggers and late night revellers will vouch for that! But aren't we all grateful for that? There is some respite at least, not to forget that the scorching heat is just round the corner! But what about the man on the street, homeless, hungry and pathetically helpless under any circumstances; winter, summer is all the same for him! He doesn't have much of a choice about anything at all! On request of anonymity, a close friend called me up today morning while returning from gym and with obvious elation in his voice said, "I am very happy today! I have done something I have never done before!" He went onto narrate that on his return home, he found a man without a shred of clothing, shivering uncontrollably while trying to pull a torn poster around his frail thin body. My friend got off his car and pulled out a pair of tracks he had bought the previous day from his bag and gave it to the man. The man was overjoyed! The only regret my friend had was that he didn't have a tee-shirt to give him. I told him, "Give it to him the next time you meet him!" Salutations to this rainbow friend of mine, who has in the past too spread a lot of sunshine in the lives of the deprived and he has made a choice to continue to do so! What a wonderful choice!
