The day started with wishes for the FRIENDSHIP'S DAY... A special day dedicated for the most precious gifts in one's life. 'FRIENDS' the word itself creates a different world in our mind. A world where every person is known and where 'you' remain 'you'.
But my heart was dancing in some other tune. Searching something, clear but certainly out of my reach. Not ambiguous, but my mind is not letting me to try to find out the trapped reason. May be my uncontrolled heartbeat is not willing to view the controlled reality of my mind. I was running or rather chasing a dream, but I know, I have reasons for that. Whether it was realistic or not, whether it was logical or not? I was not bothered about those thins, but the reality is, it was tearing me apart into smithereens.
Where is my quantum of solace..??
Where is my satisfaction's seed..??
Where is the horizon of my dreams and reality..??
Where is my calmness..??
Where is my eternal happiness..??
Where is my..................................??????
There were many more striking the gray matter at the same time.
Suddenly someone knocked the door, I opened it.
It was our cook(masi). She is a thin lady, slightly stooped. She entered our kitchen with her blank expression in her face. I went towards her and said "Masi Happy Friendship's Day".
She asked what does that means? I replied with an answer explaining the day, but my answer could hardly make any difference in her face. She looked back to me and asked me whether i can give her Rs. 20. She was having high fever and surviving with almost a zilch. I took out a Rs. 20 note and gave it to her.
I was wondering that how bitter reality of basic needs block the emotions from the heart and mind of we mere humans.
I got something different, something unspeakable, may be a lesson, something to THANK GOD..
I said HAPPY FRIENDSHIP'S DAY to me... and closed my eyes......

ReplyDeleteWe all must take out few minutes for ourselves everyday from our hectic schedules and think what we already have.....how beautiful the world around us is.....observe the tiny details in nature....on the streets...like the beggar i used to see everyday in the railway station sleeping with a beige colored dog...!!!!
One day i saw only the dog, the beggar was not there...next day the place was vacant, neither the dog nor the beggar was seen....the place is now taken by few other street dogs....!!! Sometimes i wonder what might happened...!!!maybe gud maybe bad.....no one knows....!!!
Thank God everyday for wat He has given you today....there are many in this world who doesn't even have the two percent of it.....!!!!
