No it was not any mishap, he was born like this. This was a congenital deformity which made him part of all sorts of doggerel his classmates used brazenly when he was in school.

Forgiveness was integral part of his virtue and in fact it was not the forgiveness but the highest level of tranquility he possessed which made him stand-out. As a matter of fact, he had to never forgive anyone who used foul words against him or were calling names, because he never found it hurting. And on top of that, you may see him helping the same guy who was trying to tease him hours before.

There was a tobacconist's shop near his house which will always be teeming in with people, any time of the day. People who came there, smoking cigarettes and chewing betel, took no less interest in this boy if found outside his house. They will make fun of his deformity and they will even not hesitate to say any kind of profanity which this little boy even did not understand. He just gives a seraphic smile to those people and goes inside the house.

One day in the evening, one ragamuffin came to the tobacconist shop and the boy was playing in the yard of his house. Ragamuffin found it immensely amusing, to badger this boy with the posture of a hobbler; but boy look completely unperturbed as though he was completely oblivious of that ragamuffin’s activity.

When the ragamuffin could not pester the little boy he started to leave the place. He was in a dilapidated scooter (which did not have any silencer and except horn every thing used to sound), but the way he was driving was displaying the enormous proud of a person in possession of Honda CBR.

The ragamuffin was making some stunts in his scooter to snag attentions of the people around. But, in the corner of the road he fishtailed and careened into the road side ditch. The boy went running inside the house.

When the ragamuffin opened his eye, he found, people around him were laughing at him. The club-footed boy was standing beside him holding a jug full of water in his hand. The boy asked, “Are you all right? Please have some water”.
