One small thing..!
Such a common and still ambiguous phrase ...”a small thing”
But each of those things has its own significance. Our life may not have lots of big celebration or big ups and downs every day, but we can make our day happening if we learn to live and enjoy those small things as well. Who knows, a small deed of us may make a day of somebody, may give a smile on somebody’s face. But do we really do it, though things are very small? In hectic busy routines, I fear, people might forget even to talk to other if it’s not related to their work or any gain. But imagine, on some nice morning, you wishing “Good morning “ to you doodhwala, or watchman.. or may be chatting for a while to you kamwali bai about her family or children.. or offering thanks after getting down from auto or taxi.. It is not something big deal, but still those gestures may make others feel nice. And still we avoid to do it..may be sheer ignorance or may be status issue..but those little things make big impact. Think how happy we used to be when our teachers, parents pat our back. Or remember how great the day is when we get some word of appreciation. It is just a few words but those are very precious for us..What we give to others may seem very little to us, but to someone it may mean a lot..
But again, to do something for others is something farther thing; here we don’t have time to talk well in our family and friends too. A simple “Hi, how r u“keep the feeling that friends are remembered, together..but we just forget it..We call them or rather conveniently just sms them only on friendship day or on their birthday..! and those are our friends with whom we have grown up, at a time shared each & every secret with them…but now no time..We run along with time, eat when get free from work, talk for hours on office calls and clients, travel from distant place for money and finally when return to our sweet home, sleep like dead..Even in one family, parents give message to children on tables; children might get to talk with mom-dad on weekends, and if it’s a join family for a change (!), grandparents keep waiting whole day to meet their son daughter, grandchildren ….but their wait continues on next day as well.. Thing is we take all efforts, work hard like machine, earn money for our family..Then why it needs some extra efforts to find some time for them? Can’t we find at least half an hour for our parents? We might need to adjust our routine but don’t they deserve at least that? It may be a small or big thing, may have different perspective, but it definitely keeps us bonded. Else children might be at US or Mumbai, they remain same at distance from parents…
This all is the stuff which is very small and obvious to do but we consider it big and avoid it..Sometime it is totally opposite..Issues might be very critical and sensitive but we treat those as usual thing.. See at our politician and ministers.. How they treating their people, nation and security.. Country and her citizens are the least important anyway...what matters is money and power.. ! Another guys of a same kind is our celebrities.. Money and fame and bas hogaya..! It’s very convenient to forget who give that both.. Ideally whatever they suppose to do all become an optional work, after they gain their profit..! Even we, citizen of Republic India who celebrated its 60th birthday...we conveniently forget what is our national song, feel very shy to sing our anthem (Ohh..but to sing it should be remembered correctly!!), very proudly say – “pledge..ohooo..We used to take it daily in school..’India is my country…’ right?? Now it’s been so long time you know..! How can one’s memory be so strong ...” such a attitude by most of us..Simply no comment on this..
Really a small thing..but giving numerous thoughts now..Sometimes mistakenly a small thing is considered a big, leading us to in worries..And sometimes a really major issue, we count wrongly as small and lead other in worries. :)
We take tension of stupid problems and make things worse..And otherwise ignore the things, person who actually matter a lot to us..That’s called life..!
Nway..bye for now..cya next time..

nice read :) this post reminds me of a song
Na Jaane Kyun, Hota Hai Yeh Zindagi Ke Saath
Achaanak Yeh Mann, Kisike Jaane Ke Baad
Kare Phir Uski Yaad Chhoti Chhoti Si Baat
..
