Praful Madhav Chiplunkar is the grandson of Veer Savarkar (India's Freedom Fighter) and an IIT graduate. He had a series of bad luck and sad events and now was found begging on the streets in Pune! This is a sad but quick reminder to all of us that we should thank God for being what we are every moment. Even the lifting of our leg is mechanically a miracle! For just one step that we take our body somehow accomplishes an option amongst hundreds others that could have stopped us from merely walking! And it is nothing short of absolute miracle that our body and brain can work .. just work... forget working spectacularly as it would have in the case of this IIT grad! It takes one hurt to take even the most basic of things away from us!
