With great responsibility comes great power

With great responsibility comes great power

Yes you read it right, in case you are wondering if it should have been the other way around.

The fact is : It is true in both the cases and here's how

One of the things I hate is to cross a busy street where there are no traffic signals. The drivers never tend to stop or slow down to allow us to cross the road. And it always happens that I really take my time crossing as I don’t wave my hands to make drivers slowdown and then get to middle of road and cross.

Once it happened that I was waiting to cross one such road and waiting patiently for the traffic to get thinner which I do not think it would. All of a sudden a pretty girl comes to me and says “I need to go to urgently but am not able to cross the road. Since you too are crossing, Can you please help me too?? "

The superhero inside me woke up!!!!

My vision become blurred... so I threw my specs and then it was clear!!

A light from heaven came and touched me.

It was time to take on the trafficosauras.

I told her to follow me... put my step on the road and signaling with my “Dhai kilo ka haat " and angry eyes ordered all the traffic to halt and thus help the damsel in distress to cross the road ...

Now do you accept: With great responsibility comes great power?

Oh if you want more proof, take this incident:

As a prologue, I would like to say I am absolutely scared of dogs. Be it puppies or a bulldog, it does not matter; I try to stay as far as possible. One day while I was walking to the bakery, I noticed that there were around 4-5 street dogs blocking my way. I saw them from far and so stopped walking thinking of various other methods I could reach the bakery circumventing the dogs. While I was thinking, I heard the dogs barking ferociously and noticed it was barking to 2 petrified children who wanted to go to school .They then ran to me and asked me to help them avoid the dogs...

The superhero inside me woke up!!!!

My vision become blurred...so I threw my specs and then it was clear!!

A light from heaven came and touched me.

It was time to take on the DoomDogs.

I held the hands of the trembling children and then signaling with my “Dhai kilo ka haat " and angry eyes as if I was throwing a stone made way through the path of hell and then came out victoriously.

The thankfulness was visible in the eyes of the children I had just saved!

With great responsibility comes great power

(The fact that I took another route to home while returning back need not be told here :)

There are many other incidents that I can go on explaining how I used to get superpowers in times of handling responsibility but I think I will stop here...

What do you think??
