4.HOREGALLU

In "Horegallu," Sudha Murthy presents a powerful message about the importance of having a supportive community in our lives. She highlights the need for Horegallus, which are essentially resting places, in both physical and emotional contexts. Just as a traveler needs a physical resting place to regain their energy, people also need emotional support to unburden themselves from their worries and problems. The author uses the metaphor of the Horegallu to highlight how these emotional support systems can be invaluable for individuals, families, and communities.

Sudha Murthy narrates the story of her grandfather, who was like a living Horegallu for the villagers. He would sit on a stone bench and listen to the worries of the people, providing them with the much-needed strength to continue with their journey. This illustrates how a good listener can be a great source of comfort and support for those around them. The author then goes on to talk about Ratna, a clerk in her office who played a similar role. Ratna would listen to the problems of her colleagues, providing a safe space for them to share their worries. She understood that talking itself can release a lot of pressure and acted as a good listener.

In today's world, where people have become increasingly selfish and self-centered, the need for emotional Horegallus has become more critical than ever. People are often too busy and preoccupied with their own lives to lend an ear to others. Sudha Murthy emphasizes the importance of being compassionate and empathetic towards others. She hopes that there are more living Horegallus like her grandfather and Ratna in the world, who can provide emotional support to those in need.

In conclusion, "Horegallu" is a powerful lesson that reminds us of the significance of having a supportive community. The anecdote emphasizes the need for emotional Horegallus in today's world and encourages us to be empathetic listeners for those around us. The story highlights how even the smallest acts of kindness, such as listening to someone's problems, can make a significant impact on someone's life. The message of the story is simple yet profound: we all need a little support and kindness to help us navigate life's journey successfully.
