Dear All
Greetings!

I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: ''aunty, are you sure I don't have enough money?''
I counted his cash and replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.'' The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.
I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy s ays that
Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll
with her to give it to my sister.'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?'' 'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my
money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy sai d: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!' Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so
that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to
buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.' I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered
a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car ccupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state.
The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Ya i really agree wid Ravi. But the irony is dat only we the people- whoever is clicking on to dis thread of citehr- r aware of the aftermath of the accident. So we may promise- nt to drink n drive. But if this whole story dat we hav read appeares in the newspaper den more people would b touched by it. The effect could b more. Anywayzzzzzzz......
The culprit should b punished severely - for eg.- he could b asked to giv compensation to the family throughout his lifetime.- irrespecpective of da fact the family needs compensation or nt. These negligant people should b brought on the right track.

Here is few lines from mirza galib's shayari--
hans ke bolaa karo bulaayaa karo
aap kaa ghar hai aayaa jaayaa karo
muskurahaT hai husn kaa zevar
ruup barhataa hai muskuraayaa karo
had se barh kar hasiin lagate ho
jhuuThii qasmen zaruur khaayaa karo
hukm karanaa bhii ek saKhaavat hai
ham ko Khidamat ko_ii bataayaa karo
baat karanaa bhii baadashaahat hai
baat karanaa na bhuul jaayaa karo
taa ke duniya kii dil_kashii na ghaTe
nit naye pairahan mein aayaa karo
kitane saadaa mizaaj ho tum 'Akbar'
us galii mein bahut na jaayaa karo

Very heart touching story. It brought tears to my eyes. Really this can happen to anyone. My heart felt sympathies with the man & the little boy. I would request all to not to drink & drive. & let us vow to stop others also who drink & drive. We simply dont have the right to crush the happiness of others...
