I read in one of the posts Sadhna is too hard to believe, she is a character who is hard to be understood by everyone... I'ld like to concentrate on some real-life characters and how people can ,ake effort to make understand them. Its not really difficult to find altruistic characters like Sdahna, although the world now is filled with average minded people I admit....

This morning and afternoon I did two important stuff...I visited an old age home for dying destitutes which is run by Mother Teresa and I was watching the film "Border". Many people might be aware of " Mother Teresa" and also might know the film Border is based on an actual war.

In the dying destitute home, I found many sisters working restlessly for the destitutes and also saw many volunteers who come from all over the world to serve these destitutes. People might say that sisters are bound to do this, but what bout these young volunteers, boys and girls, spending time away from home , serving these dying people, are they mad? What is driving them to do this activity, rather spending time in self-activites. The driving force is that they feel suffering people's pain more than their own. So, there are people like Sadhna, who put others comfort and their "Seva dharm" above their self-comforts and "mera khushi/mera gum".

Next come to the numerous soldiers who give us protection so that we can sleep peaceful nights. Many of them come from many well-do-families, and who do not need to sacrifice their lives or stay away from their beloved for the sake of the country. There are numerous self-less soldiers. I feel these types of people are still more than the average minded people, thats the reason we are still sleeping peacefully in our homes. Are these brave soldiers really hard to be understood or labelled as "egoistic/mahaan" in a sarcastic tone?

Last example, I'ld give of Late Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who sacrificed his life during the last Mumbai Terrorist attack. I read an article about him and his self-less nature...once he was climbing mountain and was very thirsty, so he ran to drink water from a tube well during their short break. But when he reached some civilians wanted him to help with the pump so that they can drink water. Eventually it so happened, he never got the time to drink water...what would you call him...pagal or egoistic that he wanted to prove him "Mahaan" as many people call Sadhna...

There are numerous girls in our society who are like Sadhna and because of them we still see joint families and people believing in the concept of altruism...there was a Mother Teresa, there was a Swami Vivekanand, there are numerous social workers, there are numerous "sipais" of our country who still put others interest before their own and do not even hesitate to lay down their lives for the betterment of others...mind them they all come from families like you and me...Mother Teresa did not become mother teresa in one day....

then why is Sadhna's character so hard to be believed...because of people like Sadhna, the world is still going on as they never hesitate to lay down their lives for the betterment of others, but they do not get one word of appreciation also.....

not to forget our freedom fighters who released us from the slavery of the British... many of them could have rested back at home, without even bothering about the country and men...during the freedom struggle also, when many were selflessly fighting to attain independence, many people were engrossed in their own motifs and called them mad...are they really mad...these average people accepted titles of "Raibahadur" or became spies of the British and became instrumental in passing info about the freedom fighters to the British police...

the answer to all these will pave the way to the wuestion " can we really not understand characters like Sadhna"...

In every age, there are people like Sadhna, and it is them to drive this society, not the average people...

All I have to say to Bani is...........

It is not a direct comparison between freedom fighters and persons like sadhna. Yes, freedom fighters are too big compared to sadhnas. But persons like sadhnas are similar if you consider one family/house as a country. They are like freedom fighters who fight for any evil against their family.

I remember reading a short story about a couple. Both husband and wife were software engineers. Husband a punjabi and wife was from bangalore. In the husband's family, everyone was in military. Somehow, this fellow went to different line. Wife was very enterprising and was doing great in her company. But suddenly things change as wife meets an accident and looses her memory and her strength and everything. She just was not able to write simple words. She used to be in bed all the time. She had become like a small kid. Husband who was so much in love with her, was totally heart-broken initially. But, he didnt give up. He started talking to her, making her fav food (she used to like only south indian food :) ) and trying to communicate with her all the time. His mother who had come to see them was heart-broken mainly because her son is doing all the house-hold chores where as his ancestors were freedom-fighters. She cried and told him about this to which he replied that battles are not fought only at the borders, it is fought against all the evils/problems which one comes across in daily life. Be it a battle filed, be it in our life. In the end of the story, wife tells her husband that she feels like writing something. Husband becomes so happy hearing this and he says we still have a long way to go.

Mother Theressa didnt fight any battle. But she is not considered anywhere lesser than soldiers.

Sadhna is a virtual character. She doesnt exist actually. But there could be many sadhnas around us. They are not as great as Mother Theressa or freedom fighters. But they fight their own battle to keep their family happy. Their motto behind their deeds are compared. Thats all.
