What counts is How did you live!
In your world of thoughts and imaginations have you ever wondered how your life should be?
If YES! How was it like?
Was it full of adventures and thrill or was it with money and ease!
Life is beautiful in imagination, isn’t it? Maybe contradicting but its more beautiful in reality! Because when life plays its part, the unimagined can be experienced, unexplored can be revealed and many lives can be beautified!
Here are some portraits of unimagined lives that have inspired, conditioned and touched lives of many!
Sindhu Tai Sapkal
Mai, as she is known, was born with the tag of unwanted child. She was married at an age of twelve to a man twenty years elder to her! This small girl managed all her responsibilities that the society expected. She was left all alone at the age of 20 for giving birth to a girl child. Too much for a twenty-year girl, right? But it was from here when life started playing its part harder and Mai, played her part patiently with unbreakable courage and love!
Mai started begging for feeding and nurturing her young one. In this process, she realized that love and care is not needed by her daughter alone but there are many like her. Mai decided to be the mother of all those who come to her as an orphan and so her name (Mai)!
Mai begged for all her children and fed them. When it was the turn for her to raise her voice, she raised and fought for the rehabilitation of 84 villages which were going to be evacuated.
As rightly said “No language can define mother’s love “for it needs to be felt rather to be understood. Mai nurtured 1500 children and in process she formed a really grand family of 382 sons-in- law and 49 daughters-in-law!
A recipient of 700 awards, wasn’t her unimagined life beautiful?
Well! I leave that to you….
Karl Plagge
“Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one”. Karl Plagge a German engineer was a contemporary of Adolf Hitler. During the war when Adolf Hitler and his officers killed lakhs of Jews, this man’s efforts saved hundreds of lives!
In 1941 during the war, he was given the command of engineering unit HKP 562,1 which was a military vehicle maintenance unit. He witnessed there the genocide of Jews and decided to help them by being in grey zone. He saved hundreds of Jews and their families by issuing the Jews with the certificates. These certificates showed the Nazi Germans that these were the skilled workers and were helping Germans in the war.
This partially disabled veteran of World War 1 started many industries and employed Jews showing that how important they were in the war. In spite of being a German, he was highly against the Nazism and needless to say was in the favor of humanism!
When hopes of living were lost among Jews the presence of this man gave them a new life.
Experiencing two world wars and saving lives in hundreds, wasn’t his unimagined life beautiful.
The glimpse of these portraits show that life will play its part hard, strong and
sometimes unfair but you have to play your part harder, stronger and fairly
Because eventually what counts is how did you live!
