              The coworker  came across one instance which has changed his life. It is expressed here in his own words.
   It was my young age. I was working as Engineer at site. The site was near the village. One college girl, Julie, was residing in that village and making up and down to city for college. Since beginning of site work she tried to assist me in my work.

                  One day she came with me on site. I was enjoying the work as well as her company. At evening we returned back on motor cycle and in between the way the heavy rain started.

           I caught the nearest village where there was a rest house. Julie was completely wet and shivering.  Her blouse and skirt were stick to her body.  It seems as if engraved beautiful statue & some different beautiful lady like heroine. I stared at her from top to bottom. I uttered “ Unbelievable “. I awoke from my thinking and firstly cared for her. I did not like my views and felt angry, ashamed of me. I searched for dry clothes for us and could arrange only for her.

              The whole night I could not get sleep and feeling some fever at midnight. I was shivering with fever and murmuring some words. Suddenly Julie wake up from sleep and nurse me. She took me in her arms with convincing affection. Her warmth feeling brought my fever calm. Even she was not so well she helped me that was great obligation.

                On next day we returned back to the city. While leaving me near my office she looked in my eyes & said " Take care & go to Doctor immediately",  I innocently replied,” You are only my Doctor” She stared at me for a moment went away with shy smile. Her eyes told me  so many thing that I could not distinguished easily.

               One day she came to my office & offered me sweets. Her engagement was planned with Land Lord in that village. She could smile unwillingly with hidden tears behind the eye lids. She call me to visit by evening.

          I visited her, she asked me “ Shall you think of me as a life partner, if so please meet my father early” and without continuing she sobbed and went away.

                    I realized, even with eyes I was blind & could not see the world, except my office work. Her engraved image could not disappear since then. I feel as if she calls me in rainy and fogy forest. Echoes of her voice awakes me, I happily turned my walking in forest hiding the tears.
