HE

I know this person, very closely. Someone, whom I can notice on daily basis, and today I realized something which in all these years, I haven’t paid attention. He has a habit of worry for small things, even if nobody is looking at it or come back to him complaining. But what he can’t do is ignore it. He goes to restaurant either he doesn’t leave food on his plate, or make sure he disposes it; or cleans up his own table to some extent, so that he doesn’t leave behind a big mess for someone else. In India, you will hardly find anyone standing behind zebra crossing, until they are fined for same, but if you see someone doing it without any obligation, isn’t it amazing.

And then I wonder why he does so, why he sees beyond, when most of us feel it’s just not our duty. Isn’t it very simple, just put yourself, in same person position, and feel how he would, on you. May be as easy said, but not done. What may be crossing our minds at times, we go in restaurant, and we pay 4-5 times of actual food cost, because we are also paying for cleanliness, the decorum, the hygiene and for that matters, Service taxes and charges too. So where are we wrong, if we let the others do their job?

Here is what goes, in a waitress mind, when he sees a filthy table, “Oh probably some rich brat, who doesn’t know humans work here, not the animals.” Clean and make arrangement is their job in this case, but a little thought in us can ease their lives so much.

We are not ask to go beyond our limits, just that ½ second of thought that all will matter here.

15 Park Avenue

Its an address in NYC, a place in Monopoly and a brilliant movie by "Aparna Sen".

I got a chance to watch this movie, or in better way, I stumbled upon this, on YouTube coincidentally. And somehow it touched me, that even after so much time I feel an uneasiness; a feeling it bought in me has left me, want my own company a little more, just be myself for a while, and think about nothing; Absolutely Nothing!!!

The movie made me feel, the importance of  patience, the need of love, and the sacrifice one does for his loved ones unconditionally, in return they need nothing but may be a mental support to continue to do the good work. There are few things in life nobody asks from us, and won't even complain if we fail to commit to them; something of this sort will give us so much power, and humbleness that nothing would be unachievable for us. Life brings with itself a bundle of reasons to smile, but it always depends on us, whether we are able to search for those reasons even in tiniest task we do.

The film gives a very simple hidden meaning in between, we are searching for something in life, sometimes we find it in our lifetime, and sometimes we don't; sometimes we know, what we are looking for, we might not get it forever, but belief is something which let us go on; disappointment is part of every search, but it totally depends on us, if can still see the ray of hope after the spur of darkness. We will never know how many more footsteps we can leave on the path of life, but how long these impressions will still hold our aroma, will be something we can always decide.

Life is a beautiful quest, and I believe many of us have this option to make it even better every single day. Lets not ask for more or less, lets ask for a question, whose answer's pursual can bring a difference in us!
