The Beggar of Life must watch a single episode of Krishnakant's day.
He would have the feeling like he has world of fishes. The beggar will
be the miracle of Life and would pray God that same would be the day as
they are continuing. There was an unbounded force which was abstracting
Krishnakant from Happiness. But as a forceful Bull, would keep passing
through all the moments and keep on living life off his own way.
Krishnakant
comes from, then middle class family, atleast they used to satisfy the
basics, but now after his Father died, the family pension strives to
fulfill the requirement of the two. Mother suffered from Dementia. The
days count, where everyday she is a new born person. Someday she becomes
a old woman and krishnakant, her caretaker, sometime he is her brother,
with whom she had played near that Banyan tree, after that game and
after that cheating she is very angry. Or someday she is Krishnakant's
mother who is so worry about him, even what future waited to be unfold
for him.
Studying B.H.M.S from Government Homeopathy
college, Krishnakant loves the way homeopathy medicine cures the body as
well developing internal body defense mechanism. Many people advised
Krishnakant to leave study and start to earn for him and mother but
Krishnakant was in Trance. His involvement in the research and medicine
was to the extreme end, with a rare enthusiasm. Still prospects of
Homeopathy pharmacy are still to be developed in India. Each day would
count, each time Money would struggle to fime Krishnakant's house.
There
was War between Stomach and Brain - in the end stomach won. Krishna was
forced to take a year drop, when both Lecture fees and exam fees
totaled their years food budget. So for the year Krishna was free and
very willingly offered himself as a tutor. He got some money. So
something was saved, something was added and some important thing of
something was spent in music cassette - a first ever ventured Luxury
item found his home and their very pre-historic record player played. It
played to 25 minutes...the first ever time krishna' s mind experienced
something different from a routine emotion. First time mind learned
happiness, excitement, laughter, tears came out from his eyes, first
time out of laughing, from fun. These 25 minutes were all the Bonus
Happiness he got in his Life.Year ended and he began taking his studies
again. Again intellectuals advise him "to continue his work and leave
study. Kept the inflow of money."
Still crazy for
finishing up things, Krishna was like a river flowing in one direction,
He is not ordinary river. He is Ganga- who tears open, throws away the
blocks coming in her way, craziness is molding stones, mending
mountains, turning trees coming in her way, craziness like a devoted
painter,..on finishing Red color, he finishes off his piece with his own
blood.
Very well - again from these saved, fees were
paid and Krishna at last competed B.H.M.S. On convocation- degree was
awarded but on that day his mother was an stranger in the house with
Krishna, appointed to nurse her.She was absolutely unknown to him and
She even asked him, why he showing all this to her, when he is appointed
to work there ? Still like some infamous Poet - who is never been
appreciated of his work, who has composed some immortal verse - keeps on
fascinating over his work again and again. so was the whole night of
Krishna's like. Anyways he opened his pharmacy at his drawing room. Took
big small loans, bought basic medicine, books, and long waited for
anybody to turn up for consultancy. Homeopathy is a slow cure.People
came to him but these occasions were less then the coming of creditors
and Loan givers,who came in to threaten him or came out with some of
house things , leaving house like a Samadhi mind. Empty of thoughts and
so empty of all things.
One late evening a patient came
in. "hair loss problem sir, sab try kiya..nothing effective even
ayurved...cannot afford costly thing..aur abhi toh meri shadi bhi nahi
hui,." Homeo is last thing he trusted to try. .."okay'' - "I'll make
you a medicine. you will have to take it thrice a day for three months.
Come back tomorrow same time..." I'll have it prepared...
