Love is Blind

I wanted to share this short story long back,but somehow couldn’t.
This incident happened when i was working in mumbai.I used to commute through local trains .
When you travel in mumbai train,u can get a new story everyday.
Trains are so crowded during peak hours,like almost overflowing with people.
When i travel in train i usually carry a book & enjoy reading.
As usual it was one fine morning &I was enjoying the morning view from my window seat.
Just when the train was about to leave,i heard some noises near door & saw a blind couple somehow managed to catch the train at the last second.
They wanted to get into handicapped compartment but in hurry got into ladies compartment.(Handicapped compartment is next to ladies).
Since it was peak hour,some ladies suggested they should goto handicapped compartment on next stop,they agreed and waited near the door so that they can quickly get down on next stop.
Everyone went back to their business & i too started reading my book.
The door where the couple was standing was behind my seat so i could clearly hear their conversation.
The guy sounded quiet alert & his wife as usual depending on her man.
The conversation was something like below.just 2-3 sentences & i was totally stunned…
Wife : is this 7.37 train
Husband : no,it 7.18
Wife : OK.
Husband : Trains are late today.
Wife:Do you know i wanted to wear the other saree,this saree is not good
Husband :no,this saree is also good.You look so beautiful in this saree..
I heard the above sentence and that’s it, i couldn’t hold myself.I just closed my book & turned back.
Even though the two people were bilnd,Anyone can see chemisty between them.With vision or no vision,nothing matters where there is true LOVE.
A blind husband complementing his blind wife that she looks beautiful in saree.Serioulsy how many times we see this kind of conversation even in normal couples???
My heart just filled with so much love for this couple.There was only sentence rolling in my mind for them “God bless them”.
Finally the next station came and the couple got down & went to handicapped compartment.
All I could do was pray for them & even today when i see some blind people or people madly in love,it reminds of these lovely couple & i say a little prayer for them…
And who says LOVE is not blind..yes it is blind..
