It was arond 1800 in the evening and I was taking a walk to the tea shop near my office and I noticed an elderly(read very old!)couple standing by the side of the road trying to hail autos....the gentleman was so so old he was literally drooping. The lady (assumed to be his wife! :) ) was holding on to his hand as he could not stand properly and was trying to stop the autos.
I guess the autos were asking for more than they were willing to give out as quite a few passed on by... and I could see she was beoming breathless just having a conversation with them.
I dont know what eventually became of them, but it was really sad to see them in that condition and I hoped and prayed that my parents would never be in that situation. Ever! at that age, when they should be taken care of by someone else, here they were in the middle of the city struggling to get home with luggage, and yet the view I got was one of love/dependance/support beween the both of them.
