DIFFERENCE

at this stage of life when you dont have much time left to make decisions and change the actions which you have already done. i sit alone and wonder something different. and amazing i come up with a conclusion, that their are three types of people in this world
1) people who really dont care about the world or themselves. they just live for minor or intermediate satisfaction, as in they live for things like sex, drugs or just some thing very minor.
2)people who like to live the way in which the rest of the world is living. somewhat most of the indian parents who just want their kids to be engineer's or doctors' from iit or aiims. they are the one's who just feel safe in a heard, they never believe in changing the system or becoming above it they just believe in living in it.
3) the one's who are unique. as in the people who the world calls as fools. these are people who don't think in the way the world wants them to think but think in a way the rest of the world fails to think. i really don't know where you find them.
i'm speaking of all this bec'z today i was caught up in a very unusual situation.
while going for a usual jog in the nursery i pass through a place known as asian market. morever the market is no more a place to wander as u have a pretty big liquor shop , so these days u just find drunk people wandering all about the place.
so while i was walking past this place i saw two flat people( as in totally drunk,"TALLI") people lying on the ground near the bus stand and one of them was bleeding from his mouth and the other had pee'ed in his pants. this place has two bus stops, as in one is the old one and the new improved one. so as these 2 where lying in the new bus stop the rest of the public was standing on the old bus sop ignoring the two. first when i saw them, i was shocked as one of them was bleeding from his mouth and the rest of the world didn't even bother to turn their head around and see them.
i went close to the person who was bleeding and holding my breath checked his pulse. and trust me i was shocked when i didn't find any. and by this time a driver of DTC who had just stopped his empty DTC bus next to the stop came upto me and asked whether the man was alive. i said in a shivering tone "mujhe nahi lagta". i asked him if he had a phone
and luckily he did. i dailed 100 and told them about the situation and the unconscious(or probably dead) man. i was too scared to check the other one's pulse. it was about 6:45 when i had called the police. and then immediately i asked the bus driver if he had water. he didn't, so we together managed to stop a car and ask for water. by this time we had managed to gather SOME attention of the public of the people standing on the adjacent bus stop. i poured a little drops of water on the first man, i didn't work. no pulse yet. i dropped the whole water, his finger moved. finally he was alive. it was 7:10, by now. no clue of the police or the ambulance, anywhere. we got some more water and moved the man, as in turned his over. still no one came forward except for me and the bus driver. the man finally open his eyes, what was blabbering which had to happen as he was extremely drunk. i went on to the second man and he was breathing. we poured some water and he reacted.by this time i had already given a second call to the police and th ambulance. but no sign of them. it was 7:30 by now. me and the driver waited ten more minutes, till approx. 7:45. but in the end gave up as no police wan had appeared but then the men were still breathing.
i went on to jog and tried to figure out what had just happened. imagine a scenario where police turns up after an hour from when you had called it or just does not turn up at all. i mean some people had no value of their life, as in the world just does not seem to care. i know they were drunk but for god sake they were humans. but at least their i had found one unique person like the dtc bus driver who had come forward and helped them. their was the one who i thought belonged to the third category and was UNIQUE.
