Here I m "breathing easy" after a stressful week of attending lectures in college and today i've taken a day off from college and now back to my favourite passtime "blogging" which is the best way to communicate with you all!!
I just remember an incident which happened last Friday. Last Friday was complicated from the start, I won’t deny it. The day started with me getting late to college (as usual) not because i m not punctual but my Bus is too adamant to be on time. I spent my day snoring during lectures ,enjoying with college mates, giving idiotic looks and playing pranks on the fellow "human beings" in college and in this way it was 4.00 p.m. and it was time to bunk the lecture and be back home.
Now I was on my way back from the college gate towards the station and suddenly I saw my "life" out there "My TMT bus no. 57" and guess what?? it was leaving ,and this sight was enough to put my tail on fire and forcing my legs to take-off and run as fast as i can to go and catch my "life", and yes, yes ,yes, yes I jumped into it and thank god I got a seat (which i don't usually get), pulled off my cell phone and started listening to some soft and slow music.
At one of the stops, 2 kids got into the bus, they caught my attention the moment I saw them. They had a squalid(dirty and wretched) appearance. The bus was not very crowded and there were quite a few vacant seats,but they were too shy or rather afraid to sit next to any passenger. Most of the passengers did not want them to sit next to them, an aged woman who was sitting alone on my neighboring seat shifted to the edge of the seat, so that those two kids couldn't sit beside her. Since I was sitting alone, I asked them to come and sit next to me. They were talking in a language I couldn’t understand, maybe they were talking telugu or something,. The little child was carrying a packet of 'bingo-potato chips' and apparently he wanted to eat it, but his elder sister,'akka',as he called her, was trying to convince him not to eat that ( may be she wanted to save that to eat later ).After a few stops a beautiful young chic boarded the bus and as expected people made a place available for her to sit beside them.
Life is actually made up of binary opposites – good/bad, day/night, rich/poor, beautiful/ugly, permanent/temporary and so on.
Just as life, the bus stops at various places. Then again after a halt, life gains momentum. Sometimes the road is bumpy and smooth at other. The journey by bus offers a close contact with humanity (of which we are partially deprived normally).All of us get so engrossed in the mundane issues, that we hardly have time to rise above it and notice other things. We people usually look at things differently . You and me, rich and poor, living and non-living, beautiful and ugly, etc all were created with the same hands of that almighty and we start looking things on the basis of beauty and money.
So people, the next time you travel by bus or train just try to "SEE" things around you and i assure you you'll definitely come around such incidents. I remember a dialogue from "AVATAR" which say's "nobody can teach you to see"!! I totally agree with this quote by W.H davies :"What Is This Life If Full of Care;We Have No Time to Stand and Stare".....
