We need more Originals!

Figure: Used for Representation purpose only

While queuing at the billing counter of a local supermarket, I overheard the conversation of a couple with their 5-6 year old son standing in front of me.

The kid was super irritating and mischievous. His parents pointed out to someone else's son (that ideal child) who was in the other row and told him, "Look Son, you need to be like him!".

I just realized that the problem starts from there! 

That's the age when we start being someone else and later on in life when these kids grow up shit happens and they spend their entire life trying to figure out how that happened!

Why do we look for Steve Jobs v2.0 or Albert Einstein v2.0? 

Why don't we let those trouble makers and misfits grow up as there are and let them change the world with their own way?

Let there be originals! No one is born perfect but we do find our ways when we grow up! That's life!

Something to think about!

Few days ago, I boarded the Virar bound peak hour crowded Mumbai local from Dadar. A mentally retarded (Differently abled) person boarded the same First Class compartment. He had a weird look and wore smelly clothes. Looking at him, the passengers started abusing him but he didn't give a shit. He stood in between the two doors, people started panicking and moved aside. Some even started fighting amongst each other.

He remained calm and behaved like nothing happened as he enjoyed the luxury which every Mumbaikar dreams of- having a place to stand without being pressed from all four sides during peak hours. All this while he was also making weird faces looking at other passengers.

After few stops, he alighted from the train and everybody was relieved. When he got down, he looked back and said, "Tum sab yede ho, puri duniya yedi hai (All of you are idiots, the whole world is filled with idiots)".

What did I learn?
Bewakoofon ki duniya mein yeda hona jaroori hai boss!
(Being an idiot is the best way to survive in the world filled with fools boss)
