....Brking the Displayed "Q" Halim , gatecrashed into the Morn Clinic ....hvin misread the Voice call on the automated address system , politely I sent him back ....thr r 6 more people ahead of him , I gently reminded him .....leaden foot he chugged out ....upon his scheduled turn , on close observation I felt I knew him well.....his chr Low back issues.....my heart was full of compassion for him nd I regretted tht I shud hv seen him as a priority instead of keeping him waiting ....I apologised , which he responded by a grin , saying he ought to be sorry for gate crashing ......my change in heart ,which is rather professional , donning the white Coat , is attributed to the fact tht I recollected Halim is Professionally the "Grave digger", his combat with the Eternal soil with his pickaxe nd spade , digging a 3 foot trench for the dead , braving it out day in & day out , be it sun , Moon , rain , heat , Humidity & breeze.....till the point his back wud turn sore , needing urgent help ......hvin formulated a routine treatment for propping him up....I asked him of his fmly , frnds at home....I told him , his noble job , sets him aside frm the rest.....the soil the ultimate destiny for all of us....Halim is the facilitator of none other thn God acting at His behest , providing an eternally peaceful bed for the departed ....I reminded him of the nobility of his profession & the Blessings accrued ....In our mythology the "Samsan Bandhus " : the Pall bearers to the Cremation & the Funeral pier facilitator hold an Unique place of Service towards humanity ........Such people nd Halim hv the rt to priority .....!!!!!
