I am sure.....each one if
us in our daily lives , is
surrounded by so many
people ...so many of
them , in this one and
only life . i repeat the
only life ,which is supposed to be the
BLISS AND CELEBRATION .... but
actually not so. that’s why I
like ROBERT BROWNING, “the world
is too much with
us” his line, yes sir !
It is really too much.
Family, friends, relatives,
colleagues, helpers and many
many more , sitting
here and there , interacting with
us for minute
or may be more than
that....who knows, what
they are up to.....truly .....
human mind is such a complicated thing u never
know ,what would
hit them , what would strike
them ,how would they
react, what emotions
will they throw on you, you
have to be
ready for everything .....
But she was
not ready ....my friend
, we were coming
back from the
market on a rickshaw ,
she felt little
uneasy , felt a
tiny insect in her mouth
and in order to get rid
of that , she
spat ,the moment
she did it ....I could easily
comprehend human mind , heart , and all other
organs at the same
time , that rickshaw
wala gye , in his
most shocking avatar “padhe
likhe log hai.... raaste
bhar thookte chalte
hai” sharm bhi nahi
aati “ ) (shameless!
educated people , keep
on spiting through out
) after he
did the needful , started
his song again
(chala jaata hu
kisi ki dhun
mei dhakte dil
ke taraane liye.....) i was stunned
and she was really
embarrassed.... as if the
liquid acid was
being poured in
our ears. That statement
of his... forced me to look
at him , an
ordinary man in
rags , nothing else....my friend was
in great shock
but i managed her somehow
.she was continuously
repeating “ look Shruti
you know me
well what kind
of person, I
am” yes
of course , I said . but
actually i was more
interested in knowing
that rickshaw wala
at that point
of time , he
said something which was
far far more than
what he exactly said ... that
they also know things to
a great
extent.
After that
day whenever I see gobs
, I get scare
,wish to tell everybody don’t
do it otherwise
....something may happen.... after a
short while we reached at our destination
, we got
down and we said
sorry to him
and he got puzzled.........
