The Sandwitch Makes A Difference

While going to my office there was a traffic signal, wherein all vehicles were waiting for the Green Signal to be up. Everyone was waiting to start the push buttons or the pedal kick (for bikes) and the ignition switch (for 4 wheelers and likewise). Usually it is a 90 minutes halt and riders have plenty of time to relax and ponder on things around.

There was one couple in front of me who were perhaps going to their offices as the lady carried tiffin box on her lap which signified that it was for both of them. Anyways, usually at these times, we see beggars who come and ask for the minutest monetary help that anyone can give.

There were 2 kids this time who were maybe only 4 year olds and they were asking all the vehicle owners for some help. Of course, they have been asked to do so by someone - be it their parents or maybe someone else. Anyways, what was heart touching was that these little kids were more keen on the vehicles parts than their real act.

When they came to the couple in front of me, the lady thought for some time, murmurred something to her husband and opened her tiffin box. She took out a bread sandwitch and hand it over to the kids, a piece each.

I can still remember the bewilderment in the eyes of the kids when they saw the sandwitch. It was clear that this was something to eat but what exactly was it, none of them knew. Before I could see what they would have done next, the signal was green.

The kids promptly gave way to the vehicles and after getting on to the sides, as I could see from my rear view mirrror, they first smelled and quietly started eating the sandwitches.

I am not sure as to what does these kids get after they handover the money to someone. But this generous act could be the best way possible to help these needy people, if at all we want to get rid of our doubts (of whether the money we give would be utilized for them or not).

I guess this is the best way that we can help the needy and we can get the satisfaction that someone had soulful food because of us. And that's how we feel that we made a small difference to someone just for a moment perhaps, but that carries the reverberation that would satisfy yourself from you.

How to Become Krish, If Not Lord Rama

I have come across so many kinds and types of people in my life that it is almost impossible to contain or write the characteristics of each one of them.

There are people who are always happy or atleast they seem to be happy but by seeing them you feel that this is a beautiful world, indeed. Suraj Bharjatya's Hum Saath Saath Hai types.

There are people who always look sad and arrogant as though the whole world is a metaphor for Hell.

There are people who are doubtful to be happy or to be sad because they are too emotional to let their feelings out or to keep them in. Its almost like standing in the middle of the road.

There are people who are extraordinarily introvert and sometimes makes you feel that why does NASA spend so much to find something on other planets when the UFO species are beside us.

There are people who are I-will-break-my-head-and-yours extrovert that you feel that this person is run perhaps by a Duracell battery and definitely not by the elements of air for their dictionary does not know the meaning to stop.

There are people who are the perfect fits for the role of Pinnochio and their whole world is full of lies, including they being themselves.

There are people who are the softer and nicer categories who are born to foray on non violence path and for obvious reasons usually ends up at the receiving end.

The list goes on and on....

But there is one thing which is common to all of us and that is our goodness. We all have somethings that we can always learn from others - its upto us whether we take a note and imbibe the goodness in a person or rue about the person's insignificant personality traits.

Choice would always be ours and this small act of imbibing goodness in others and excluding the badness in them will make us improve our own selves as human beings in all aspects. Of course, we can never be like Bhagwan Rama (for he is the Supreme) but yes atleast we can become Krish and be a superhero, if not in the eyes of others but atleast to our own selves.
