Life-Vision

The train has started moving. It was packed with people of all ages, mostly with the working men and women and young college guys and gals. Near the window was seated an old man with his 30 years old son. As the train moves by, the son is overwhelmed with joy as he is thrilled with the scenery outside..
"See dad, the scenery of green trees moving away is so beautiful!!"
This behavior from a thirty year old man made the other people feel strange about him. Every one started murmuring something or other about this man"This guy seems to be a crack case.." newly married Anup whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started raining... Rain drops fell on the travelers through the opened window. The Thirty year old son , filled with joy, says "See dad, how beautiful the rain is .."
Anup's wife got irritated with the rain drops spoiling her new suit.
Anup ,"Cant you see its raining, you old man, if your son is not feeling well get him soon to a mental hospital..and dont cause disturbance in public henceforth"
The old man hesitated first and then in a low tone replied "We are on the way back from hospital, my son got discharged today morning, he was a blind by birth, he got his vision last week only, the rain and nature are new to his eyes.. Please forgive us for the inconvenience caused.."
