A remarkable love story

This post is a diversion from the core agenda of this blog. But the story is so remarkable that I can't help but post it. TOI reports that a man from Gaya in Bihar has single handedly carved out a passage through a moutain in the memory of his late wife. Read the ful report here: Padma award for Bihar 'Superman'? TOI reports, Dasharath Manjhi's love for his wife was no less. His story of cutting through the mountain near his village in Bihar's Gaya district to pave out a passage, chisel by chisel, hammer after hammer for 22 long years — single handedly — is no less inspirational. His wife died as he could not get her to the nearest hospital in time because of mountain and when his wife died he took upon himself to ensure that no one in future suffers like him because of unnecessary delay in reaching hospital. The poor Dalit's feat is, in fact, awesome, his posthumous love for his wife perhaps surpassing the legendary love story of Salim-Anarkali: For, Manjhi took upon himself the task of breaking open a mountain pass only after his beloved wife passed away. Reason? He could not take his ailing wife to the nearest hospital — six hours away in route skirting the mountain block — in time. Where the mountain failed him in saving his wife, Manjhi attacked it with primitive tools like chisel and hammer to split open a 360-feet-long, 30-feet-wide and 25-feet-high passage which now enabled villagers to reach the far-away hospital in just under an hour! Manjhi's mountain pass has reduced the distance between Atri and Wazirganj subdivisions of Gaya district from 50 km to 10 km. Remarkable, isn't it? This also personifies the cliche "where there is a will, there is a way". What does the junta feel about this love story?
