Humanity still on a Roll....



I still remember that day when I saw the creeping humanity still present in the world today. Yes, today also this word has its meaning, it hasn’t doomed yet. There are some people whom we can’t forget though they are present just for the fleeting time in our lives. One such person I met and she gave a lifetime memory.


It was the time when summer-storms are at their height. I was unwell and need to go to Vaishali indispensably. I took the metro from Rohini and sat on its floor because no seats are vacant as usual. I get up at Tis Hazaari as I have to change my metro from Kashmiri Gate. I didn’t know what happen and everything seems to be faded and I fainted down. I was unaware who took me out of the metro and when I opened my eyes I was accompanied by a girl. She gave me water so that I could get back to my senses. I was still quivering and she gave me some biscuits to eat. She asked me to go back and she would help me in changing the platform. But I refused. Though her destination was completely opposite to my route she accompanied me till Rajiv Chowk from where we had to change the metro again. Then I thanked her from the heart and requested her to go to her college as she was getting late for it. But she denied and squired with me till Vaishali. She didn’t leave my hand even for a minute. She gave her few crucial hours to a person unknown to her.
      

                               

This is what we call an unconditional giving, an unintentional help, and care without wants. Some people really touch our heart in a special way. I don’t know her name but I guess I met God that day who came from nowhere and again got lost in the crowd of Delhi.

The Difficult No



A very optimistic word ‘YES’ is very important for any job to be done. May it be the most difficult task to do, there just need to be a determination that ‘Yes, I can do this’. This small word has enough power in itself to make all things happen. But many a times we want to say ‘No, I don’t want to do this’ but still we are doing it and the reason not known to us. The reason is very simple. ‘No’ is considered to be very egoistic.


It is true enough that in many cases when we say ‘YES’ to others we are actually saying a big ‘NO’ to ourselves and feeling blue the whole time. But it’s important to be bold, open enough to keep our thoughts, irrespective of the conclusion what others thinking of us. We have right to speak and we must protest and fight against the circumstances if our heart doesn’t allow us to move in the direction. Atleast we are not ‘people-pleaser’.


It’s good to have some scars than to be clear crystal if this easy word ‘NO’ can make us live more peacefully and tension free. A less burdened life is expected by all, this is in our hands and we cant let others destroy it.


While writing all this, a song coming to my mind is…
“It’s hard to say no to your face
Running away is as easy as running in place
Yes it’s hard to say no to you
And that means I ll do the things
I don’t want to..”
