We were near the water cooler in the ground floor at around 10:30 pm when suddenly there was a commotion nearby. Voices that sounded "Hey guys,come out we have somebody here!" were loud and clear! We rushed up to see what the hue was all about. When we went there, we froze to the ground seeing what it was all about!! And lo! We could see a shivering body with fear and insecurity written all over her face. This was the very same fear that one would have if one got caught in a place which was drastically alien. All the guys surrounded the place within a matter of minutes with all devilish smiles which reflected the evil in their minds. The pitiable condition worsened and the fear that gripped those shivering legs made her make a desperate attempt to escape from the place but only to find that all efforts were in vain and there was no way out. The security was no where in vicinity and neither was the warden. The guys went about their business. The very reason for their presence at the scene was about to be satisfied! But all that fear and desperation in that small face reached out to the hearts of many. Those lame legs tried its level best to make a dash for the doorway. But all that it could do was, make her limp pathetically. All our good hearts prayed for her very survival and escape. As an answer to all our prayers, the wings opened up and the peahen started flying!!! But she was so badly wounded that she didn't have the needed energy to fly. Finally the security was summoned. He came to her rescue.. approached her slowly and lifted the shivering bird tenderly and placed her in the courtyard where she could be safe. Let us all bring out the true humanity in us and protect the peahen, proving that men always have a respect for womankind!!
Long live compassion!!
