Mind wanders all the time- even in the thick of thoughts- new thoughts enter with the speed of a Formula 1 car and disrupt the flow of thoughts and overtake the original track . Was watching the Salman Khan starer Jai Ho released a few months ago- not for the Salman type bashing of goondas or his surreal stunts , but for the thought espoused in the film. You help someone and then instead of a Thank You - you ask them to help three other persons .The multi-level marketing schemes everywhere work on similar lines. Supposing you help someone, without any selfish motive- and do not even expect anything in return- What guarantee you have that someone will acknowledge it and take the idea further. Most of the time people wallow in the sympathy of others.You may call it love- sympathy-empathy anything but the real reason reason is to make the helper a ladder to climb to some milestone. They absorb the good deed like a blood-sucker leach absorbs blood from your body and when satiated, leave you high and dry Except in movies- it does not happen. Most of the time you are laughed at and ridiculed. for such naivete The only unconditional unselfish love- I have seen is what parents- let me quantify it- Mother has for the children. There is no parallel to it. Rest all the things we do for others under the guise of a selfless act is an utterly selfish act with some hidden motive. We may be able to camouflage it cleverly, but deep inside us we know that there is an ulterior motive for it.However can we blame it on the benefactor ,when the beneficiary is sure to follow the leach path. I recollect a song from the 1961 film Hum Dono starring Dev Anand-Sadhana and Nanda.. The lyrics of Sahir so poignantly put the thoughts in the right perspective- particularly the third verse. Listen to the song== Kabhi khud pe kabhi halat pe rona aaya. I quote the last verse--- kaun rota hai kisi aur ki khatir ai dost kaun rota hai kisi aur ki khatir ai dost sabko apni hi kisi baat pe rona aaya sabko apni hi kisi baat pe rona aaya.
