Thank you for the deep and insightful post Prasanna. Wise words indeed…so beautifully written.

Poetry class was my least favorite in school…we had to learn the poems by heart and recite them without understanding the meaning and depth of the words.

I hope that in this fast paced practical world, we take time to stop, reflect, dream a little and appreciate the poets/philosophers of those times.

Your post has certainly made me nostalgic of my English teacher desperately trying to make us understand those verses of lost wisdom. It has also inspired me to look them up again…thank you !

A few years back I was walking with my wife.I saw a man dragging an old woman on the road and she was pleading with him to leave her. I took pity and asked the man to stop attacking the woman. To my surprise the woman got up and told that” he was her son and he can do what he wants, you mind your business”

I was dumbfounded, further I got a mouthful from wife.

I can never forget the incident.

Was it a fault to help people in trouble
