It was a normal day and I was coming back from my home to the city I live. I was waiting for my train to arrive at the railway station and as it was the station of a small town not much of crowd was there. As I was waiting for the train I suddenly saw something which made me think.
I was that there was a little boy on the railway platform who had a girl with him on a wheelchair. By looking at them they seems like brother and sister. They wanted to cross the railway line to go to another platform and they could have done it by crossing the railway lines directly without using the foot over bridge as most of the public was doing there but to my surprise they choose the option which was a difficult one. They choose to go via foot over bridge which only had stairs and difficult to cross by person on a wheelchair.
I watched as they reached the stairs, the girl pulled out a stick a with the help of her brother and the stick she stood up. Then slowly she release shoulder of her brother and took the support from railings. Though it was difficult for her to stand she slowly started to climb the stairs one by one. The brother who was left behind looked at her sister for a moment and when assured that girl can take care of herself he then slowly folded the wheelchair and tried to pull it over the stairs. The boy was very young and it was difficult for him to pull that chair but he was continuously putting his efforts. It took almost 10 minutes for both of them to climb the half way of stairs.
I wanted to go and offer them help but did not wanted to show sympathy which in turn have insulted the efforts they were putting to cross the over bridge so I decided to remain quite.
I watched them and others who were crossing railway lines without the over bridge for few minutes and then my train came. Though I left the station but my mind remained there with that little boy and the girl. I felt that in the crowd of people who breaks laws every day they were both laughing at them.

It was the courage of a person which make him handicap and
from the point I am seeing it seems like that girl was not handicapped. It was
people who were crossing the railway line without the over bridge and were
paralyzed. They both were challenging the world of those mentally paralyzed
people and had a smile on their face.
