Sometimes we are in a quandary as to what is to be done. And then what we do is what we got to do, knowingly or unknowingly. Anyway, enough of playing with the words.
This was a perfect example of what can happen when you take a small initiative and well, it turns out to be of greater impact to others. During my 6th Semester, I guess (though it doesn't matter over here), I was travelling from my Nagpur (My chacha lives there) to Gondia(where my college happened to be).
The train was "Gitanjali express" scheduled to depart at 6 AM. I went inside the General compartment and was lucky enough to get a seat. There was not much crowd over there though it is not normal not to have a big hue and cry in a general compartment.
Anyway, I got the seat. And was sitting there with my watch radials showing 5:45 AM. Well by the scheduled departure time, I was already thinking of my classes that I had to attend on that day. Every possible seat was occupied below though there was some place above.
Just then an old uncle came. He looked tired and his eyes were very grim. It seemed he was crying for the whole night.(To be frank, its my guess). He asked everyone around our vicinity a seat but none gave. All were adamant to sit below, though there was ample space above.
Well, I felt a little awkward. I dont know but I suddenly got up and asked him to sit in my place.
He asked me not to do so. But I said that I can go up and there I can sit or sleep for hours. And then he agreed. He touched my hair as if I knew everything that must have gone with him.
Anyway, believe me or not after I told him the same the same people who were against giving him the seat were now giving him the seat asking him to come to their place. I thought were they deaf when he asked then for the same. Whatever.....
Sometimes we ought to do what is simple and straight. Though at times it may seem odd but this is the crux of life....So, what I feel you do what you think is right and no matter what, always listen to your heart. It will never let you down.
