While I was walking in the park near my home as I do every evening, I saw a boy probably ten years of age resting on a bench dissolved in thoughts. He looked worried, so I approached him before asking, “What is your name, son?”
As he turned to me, I continued, “Is everything alright?”

Looking at me for a moment, he smiled. A moment later, he responded, “My name is Rahul sir and everything is alright. I’m just waiting for my mother.”
