Syncretism

Reaching out, helping out has been part of humanity since time immemorial. It is only of late that we have started getting self absorbed in our own selves and become self centred - looking after our own interests at the cost of humanity itself
In such a situation it was hear warming to see an old lady being escorted to the RHC by her neighbour - who is not a relation to ger at all.
The old lady is from Nimanapalle, a small town about 10 km from Madanapalle. Ever since her husband passed away a few years ago, she has been living in Madanapalle with her elder sister. The elder sister herself is paralysed following a stroke. Both these old ladies get a monthly pesnion of INR 2000 from the Government.
Their neighbour, looks after them, cooks for them, helps in household chores etc - and this notwithstanding the fact that the old ladies are Hindus and the one looking after is a Muslim


One can see the staring eyes and expressionless facies of possible Parkinsons
