I started my day feeling very low and the most awful part is I really did not know what was pulling me so down ,may be I did not have the courage to dig deeper down to really find the reason for it ,kinda stupid isn't it. Well I knew I had umpteen umber of reasons to feel this way but I really did not want to find out the real reason for my misery
So the first thing I did was to get out my house . When I went to the nearest crossing, guess what do I see there , I saw a over weight morose man who is uncomfortably confined to his wheel chair and "ALONE" .The very sight of him sank my heart. I really felt sad for him.For a moment I just thought that all my troubles are temporary and can be resolved but this man has to live the same monotonous life and I really don't think he had any choice otherwise. I really wished I could be proved wrong .
But, It was the second incident that really surprised me. I did not cross the signal for a while and I was there for sometime and I saw a blind women walking towards the crossing . I had seen her a couple of times before. This lady was so courteous , every time she crossed someone on the street she would say "sorry,excuse me" because she knew that the pedestrian would have to wait till she crosses him . She had said the same thing to me too ,every time she had crossed me. I always wondered how many people she would have had to say the same thing over and over again, everyday and how come she never got tried of it.
Now comes the "surprise" part which I had mentioned before, today when I saw her I thought to myself "She is glowing today, what is she so happy about" . I was thinking how ignorant she would of so many things that existed in the world. Does her life even have a purpose?? and then something really strange (rather surprising , to keep up with the whole "surprising theme") happened .It was as if she heard my thoughts and instead of crossing the signal when the "walk signal" buzzed, she stopped for a while ,then actually smiled and rubbed her hand on her stomach as if asking me to take notice . "She was pregnant" and I could make out she was very proud of that fact .
This woman was living a far more fulfilling life then I had imagined, I believe she is living a much more happier and fulfilling life than many people I know.People who have all the money in the world,successful career's but still don't want to go through the pain(that's what they say) of becoming a parent , they say it is too much of a hassle .I don't know what to say to that.
This song is really touching.You should see the Movie: Amrit
Cast : Rajesh Khanna, Smita Patil
This film is based on two elderly people, who are rejected and neglected by their own sons, daughters and relatives.
I now zoomed backed onto myself and my troubles, they all seemed kind of trivial to me now and I remembered a very important thing , It may sound strange ,but here it goes "As long as you have a place to live and you don't go to bed hungry at night, you are really do not have any problems which cannot be resolved by your own actions ".
