Pacing behind the bars that held him, he had just one thought in his head. He wanted out. An assassin by profession, sentenced to death, trying to appeal in a higher court, without much hope. At almost a certain end of his life, forced to reconsider his life. He had been forced into the world of crime because of his poverty, and seeing his family dying. Now his family deserted him because of what he did. He thought again to his last assignment, seeing the fear in the eye of the victim, his family as they watched. He had decided that would be his last killing. Ironically, his momentary softness inhibited his escape, and here he was. He wanted his life, to repent for his crimes, to help the families of his victims, to use his money for some good of the society. If only, some juror saw the change in his eyes, believed in him. If only, he got a second chance...
What is a parrole? Its the judicial system's way of giving a second chance. Most mistakes made by men are not deliberate. But, thhat makes them a victim of judgement. No one trusts them ever again. Even after a parrole, they are seen as prime suspects to a crime. The society shuns them out. All they wish for is one person to trust them, for the one chance at redemption, at one moment where they can prove themselves and people can see.
Not only criminals, but common people, who make common mistakes, want that chance to set it right. An official at a huge MNC makes a mistake and incurs losses for the company. All he wants from his boss then is to see his hard-work, his determination , to set it right, and give him another chance. A guy may say something rude his girlfriend, but later he begs for her forgiveness, and shows with his behaviour that that won't happen again. He hopes for another chance. Rahul Dravid, one of India's best batsmen, had been all but written off the team at the end of 2010. But, in what was being called as his farewell series, he was the only batsmen who performed, and is now back as "the Wall".
No person is forever wrong. All they need is trust of that one person. All they want is a second chance. All I want, is a second chance....
