Humanity still exists!

Hello Readers!

An incident has made me really elated today. My trust in people of this world has risen with today's trivial episode. I would love to narrate it!

I was out for a movie today with a friend (would call him A). After the movie, we did some shopping and started to our homes in two separate 'green-yellow' Gurgaon autos. I was still on my way back, when I got a call from A that he has left his shopping bags in the auto. A pair of Red Tape Shoes and a couple of Lee Tees lost? Automatically, my mind started calculating the loss. Anyways, we decided to reach back to the mall, rather outside the mall, where autos are parked. Still I knew, we wont get back the things.

We rushed back to that place from where we had boarded the auto previously. Just as CID, we started to look for that auto-wala. But no luck. We "interrogated" other auto drivers with the description - 'we are looking for a tall, slim, less hair auto driver'!! And there were 20 odd with same description, but we could not find the one we were looking for. Did I mention somewhere that A had a train to catch in a couple of hours? Oh, I did not. So, he had to travel and he so wanted to rush leaving the Shoes and the Tees behind. Somehow I pursued him to stay for 10 more minutes.

Then out of nowhere the auto-wala appeared. That poor guy had gone back to A's home to return the stuff and A had come to shopping mall searching for him. The auto guy had given the bags to A's neighbour and had taken the neighbour's contact details. This made us get the stuff back. The elation of seeing the humanity was much more than getting the shopping bags back.

This is not the end of 'humanity'. Gurgaon is a weird city, here neighbours do not know each other and we usually stay in apartments. That is why, we have many neighbours, but we do not know each other. So, in other words, that neighbour did not know how to find A in locality. He did not have his contact details either, neither did he knew where exactly A stays. He checked out the bills, had reached the mall and the place from where we had shopped to know A's contact details. Wonderful gesture!! And that too, just to return someone's shopping bags. I was so amazed and happy to know, still there are people in this world who make favors to others without any personal benefits and selfish interest.

We daily confront and complain about the selfish and mean people in the world. But today's episode is making me thank all those unknown people who have a clear and pious heart. Finding such people in a city like Gurgaon is really very difficult. We can still find good people in smaller cities, but people staying in Gurgaon are just too into themselves. They do not want interference in their lives, neither do they interfere in other's lives. This attitude towards life, makes one very restrictive. People do not initiate for help. Yeah, people do come up with their favors, when they are aware they would get something in return.

But then, there is a silver lining. Few good and wonderful people. :)

I am still smiling with what happened today. May God bless!! Take Care! Keep Smiling!! Ciao!! :)

My messy thoughts - Marriage this time!

Hello Readers!

Things have changed a lot with me since the last time I wrote here... my home has changed, I have left the place where I had spent loads of togetherness with my dear friend, colleague and room mate! My workstation at office has changed.. people who were surrounding me have changed. Still, one thing is the same.. my messy mind and emotions..

I was just thinking today.. how difficult it is to decide your life partner. Spending whole life with one human being! And deciding who would that be! Also, if you did not get that lucky chance to fall in love, you have to find the right one in few meetings. Seems impossible to me at times. But then yes, it happens, my parents got together this way.. and other couples in my family too. When I think about it, it seems pretty difficult, near to impossible. Then a thought makes me realize, that you eventually fall in love with the person you stay... you start caring and sharing everything about that person. Love just happens, it comes on its own. If you are adjusting and accepting, love comes in. There are few things which one expects, simple things like time to spend with each other, small occasions together, the essence which makes one feel cared and loved.. If you have got all this, understanding the other person becomes so simple, so easy.

In case you are getting married to the person you already know and you love, you need not to spend time in knowing that person. You kind of .. are pre-aware of likes, dislikes, nature, reactions, emotions of that person. You get ample time to explore the good and the bad things.In that case the clause of adjustment and acceptance starts even before you get married. When you are in a relationship, you start expecting and accepting. What I have felt in my life, the lower you expect, the happier you are. Suppose I am not expecting wishes from my old friends on my birthday, and they call, it comes as a surprise and it makes me so happy! Similarly, If I am already expecting their calls, and unfortunately I do not receive the calls, I would be so disappointed. This "Expectation" funda applies everywhere, in every relation! Getting married is far beyond than just loving each other. We use the word 'life partner'. This is so apt. Sharing your life with someone! There are many compromises which both need to make. When the girl leaves her 'own' family, and joins her new family she has to leave behind her near and dear ones and accept the other family! And the guy has to make her comfortable, he has to frame a complete new world for her. Loads of challenges creep in in all this.

I am sure I am not much aware the life after marriage, still had few thoughts, wanted to put in words.. It gives some solace to my messy mind! :)

By the way, the new place is good, people are welcoming here. Change is good. :)

You guys take care, keep smiling! Ciao! :)
