“Dad, you saw how difficult it
was for me to eat that Curd Rice.”
Sindu was in tears.
“And you promised to grant me whatever I ask
for. Now, you are going back on your words. Was it
not you who told me the story of King Harishchandra
and its moral that we should honor our promises no
matter what?”
It was time for me to call the shots.
“Our promise must be kept.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Chorused my
mother and wife.
“No. If we go back on our promises, she will
never learn to honour her own. Sindu, your wish will
be fulfilled.”
With her head clean-shaven, Sindu had a round face and her eyes
looked big and beautiful.

On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It
was a sight to watch, my hairless Sindu walking towards
her classroom. She turned around and waved. I waved
back with a smile.
Just then, a boy alighted from a car and shouted,
“Sinduja, please wait for me!”
What struck me was the hairless head of that boy.
“Maybe that is the in stuff.” I thought.
“Sir, your daughter Sinduja is great indeed!”
Without introducing herself, a lady got out of the
car and continued, “That boy who is walking
along with your daughter is my son Harish. He is suffering
from leukemia.”
She paused to muffle her sobs.
“Harish could not attend school for the whole
of the last month. He lost all his hair due to the
side effects of the chemotherapy. He refused to go
back to school, fearing the unintentional but cruel
teasing of his schoolmates. Sinduja visited him last
week and promised him that she will take care of the
teasing issue. However, I never imagined she would
sacrifice her lovely hair for the sake of my son!”
“Sir, you and your wife are blessed to have
such a noble soul as your daughter.”

I stood transfixed and then, I wept.
“My little Angel, you are teaching me how selfless real
love is!”
The happiest people on this planet are not those who live on
their own terms but are those who change their terms for the ones
whom they love!
