तेरे साथी, मेरे कदमों के है निशाँ

...तेरे साथी, मेरे कदमों के है निशाँ,
तु ना जाने आस-पास है खुदा...

a line from a hindi song. nice song and nice lyrics. nicely sung as well, especially when Shruti Pathak sings 'तुउउ... ना जाने आस-पास है खुदा...', it makes even an atheist like me to look around.

anyway, this line reminded me of something i read somewhere. it goes like this...

there was some guy who at the time of his birth asked the God to be with him through out his life. and God agreed. his life passed with some good times and some bad times... leaving footprint on wet sand. towards the end of his life or may be after the end of his life he found this footprint.

by analyzing the footprint, he found that there were two pairs of footmarks, parallel to each other, almost through out his life. one of them his own and the other, the God's. but whenever he had tough time in his life there was only one pair.


disappointed with this finding, he went to meet the God. asked why hadn't the God kept his promise? why was there only one pair when he needed the God the most?

the God smiled and replied, "son, those were the times when I was carrying you".

nice story, isnt it? i wonder how people can come with stories to persuade you to anything!
