The little girl followed her mother as she rushed through the crowd walking briskly, making her way to the Delhi Metro Station. The girl found it difficult to keep pace with her mother, she ran a little trying, walked a little to catch up with her mother. Each time she would run, her winnie the pooh bag would slip off her shoulders and she would stop to pull it up. As her mother entered into the metro, she had to cross a puddle. There were stones only for one person to cross at a time, people from the other end had to wait until their turn. Some waited, some pushed through, some wondered if they should take some other way. The lady didn't seem to think twice, she effortlessly walked from one stone to another and crossed the puddle, she didn't stop to see if there was some one coming from the other side, as if she knew nobody would come on to her way. Having crossed the puddle she walked ahead. The little girl was stuck at the other end of the puddle. She would put one foot forward and then go back seeing someone else coming from the other side. She would think, this man would go and then I would get a chance to cross but the chance wouldn't come. She looks on the other side to see her mother walking off briskly, she gets worried that she would get lost but doesn't call out for her. I'm a little girl, I'm sure some one will help me, I'm sure they will stop for me, would think. The people around don't seem to share the idea, they rush past her not even glancing at her. They seem to be in too much hurry to stop for anyone. It all seems like a giant time machine where each one is running behind every ticking second.
After walking a few steps, the lady looks back to see her daughter still stuck on the other side of the puddle. She walks back and quickly pulls her daughter through "If you think somebody will stop and let you go and wait for your turn, it will never come. The world is not such good place. You need to push your way through. People don't look out for others here, you need to look for yourself!", she said as she continued to walk ahead.
