Today's Deccan Herald carried a story about a 48 year old beggar enrolled at the Rajasthan University Law college.
A domestic violence case booked against him by his wife saw him thrown out of the village by the landlords and the police case disrupted his M.A Sociology studies.Begging since '92 at the crack of dawn around the temples, he recently passed the entrance exam to study law and now attends classes in his beggar rags hoping to qualify as a lawyer.
The domestic violence case? No details about that.
Here I am looking at the spirit of an aging man - long years spent on the streets ,a police case haunting him,humiliated by begging( his own words in the article),estranged from his wife and 24 yr old son, still wanting to follow his dreams.
I take this as a lesson:
It is never too late to follow one's dreams.
Keep a steady focus no matter what mishaps mar your progress.
Isn't that a nice positive idea to begin one's day with?
