In the midst of roaring traffic
a hand stretches out
to help the old man
cross the road..
in the crowded train
one stands up to spare his seat
for the woman carrying her child..
while he rushes fast the busy biker turns around, comes back
to close the tap oozing water…
the young academic immersed in work
finds time for the village in floods…
in sweltering heat, the woman nurses the sapling
planted where the mother tree has been cut..
Drip drops of kindness
drench our average arid lives..
