Dark and Black

Today i donated blood to a injured coal miner. He works at Bara Pukuria Coal mine, Dinajpur. Unfortunately he had a bad accident and almost lost all of his lower organs. He is fighting with death hardly. An official of his coal mine had contacted with me earlier and requested to donate blood. I had given blood several times but this case was different. I heard from the official that by the mistake of a chinese worker he collided with the coal cutter. Then i asked him about victims' age, recent progress and it came out suddenly that the daily salary of that man is only 130 Taka(about 1.86 $). And he has to work for 8 hours ,1800 ft below earths' surface. He was paid higher if the temperature rises above 40 degree Celcius. Suddenly i feel the agony ( a mere part i would say) of that human being. I could have been a 20 year old coal miner digging harder and harder in underworld- sweating,gasping and unconciously waiting for my cruel destiny. How strange to be human and to endure this life! Bitter, Is n't it?
