Day 10– April 11, 2012
What a refreshing start to the day…Raining all the night and drizzling continuing till morning…but I was a bit tensed as I needed to look out for my raincoat which was seldom sought after quitting my job :( Anyways rain god heard my cries once again and cooperated with me…yes God does exists… all through my way I kept wondering that human beings mood also syncs with the weather…cool, calm, hot and chilled :)

Well reaching station on time has indeed become a habit for me, Good habits seldom gets noticed by people but bad ones keep on haunting you…the same way a goal keeper is not appreciated for goal saved but goals missed…Reality bites… Driver seemed to be in good mood and was also on time…Good job driver…A word of appreciation goes miles… Settled on a seat and people started to flow into the bogie…Window seat were left vacant as it had water droplets…Reminded me that like a fault or shortcoming in a person sometimes makes him neglected, the same way nobody thought of cool breeze from window but rather streamlined their thoughts to the dampness… Thoughts have also become based on selective approach nowadays…
At one of the interim stations an old age couple boarded the train…I couldn’t turn away my eyes from them. Looking at them in tattered clothes, no footwear and limited visibility I pondered why???? Infact they also didn’t get seated on the wooden planks…fear of the society or neglected by society? Old lady kept on staring at me as if she wanted to convey that we old age disowned parents deserve upliftment… Made me realize that why we had always heard about old age homes and not young age homes??? Because parents always accept and never expect… Old man asked for directions to his place which a person readily replied to whereas a young lad with his girl friends turned deaf as if the old man would rob him or infect him…
With such social thoughts taking their turns in my mind, I got off the train & proceeded to my class pondering that life is not always about possessing money, fame and belongings; it’s about how you put them to underprivileged use…

Reached the platform and cool breeze made me forgot the time…may be for this I didn’t wear a watch today… Noticed a boy loving his grandmother and hugging her repeatedly, unconditional love is a forgotten affair… Nobody complained about the train delay as if the world itself is everyone’s home no matter wherever you stay… Why did I notice love everywhere today as again I saw a young couple conversing discreetly… Whether events are good or bad sometimes do depend upon weather…
Whenever we feel bad why we don’t look at good things …in the same manner when we have a cup of hot tea when we experience cool breeze…and a cold coffee when the weather is hot… Amidst the gusting wind, heard a hustling train arriving. Got into the bogie and had my lunch with friends discussing our past with one another. Concluded that no one is perfect in any occasion and indeed this imperfection motivates us to a better future ahead…
Got off at my destination with some added responsibilities towards society’s underprivileged and neglected segment on my mind. Just as rain washes the dirt from leaves the same way inner cleansing of soul happens when you contribute to the society…
