“Best read when
served with a bit of cough and cold”
Imagine giving a presentation in an
important meeting and suddenly A..A..A..A……AACCCHHUUUUUUUU.
excuse me. snooooorrrpppp. snoooorrrpppp.
Whats the 1st
thing that strikes your mind? Your boss? Of course not. That square
insignificant piece of cloth comes out as a sigh of great relief and
is quickly smuggled back into the pocket.
Newspaper supplements are filled
with hot recipes, sweaters and jackets are a business. Welcome 2012
,welcome winters. My motivation to write this article comes from
another very insignificant incident which happened to me last night.
I was at my Uncle's house with this Dam like nostrils trying their
shear best to contain the “fluid” behind them, and keep me sober
and civilized. But alas they gave up in the midst of the night making
me fumble for a rescue from this embarrassment. And yes this
“insignificantly small” piece took all my dirt with its own
insignificant humble way.
Our life fiddles around with some of
the greatest and most important things. Skipping a meal or two is not
a boo, as it shows how busy we are in our own little world. Owning a
smart phone with funky apps is now a show business. And the terms
like “fulltoo masti” have become part of youth dictionary. And
why not! We have been programmed to perform anytime and anywhere. In
this ever-changing and blitzkrieg scenario we have forgot to observe.
Ever had a look at the waiter when you visit a restaurant? Of course
we will, when he spills the curry on to us! We expect a great
ambiance, we expect the food to be delivered fresh and quickly, we
even expect the delicacies to be served well as if we have a moral
right to be. A rational guy will say thats all fine as its a part of
the job and so true, we reward him with a tip. But we never say
thanks with a little smile. Maybe we are ashamed of our own modesty.
Nevertheless we come across so many such “insignificant”
creatures in our day-to-day life but we seldom acknowledge them for
their virtues. Its not because we are loosing mankind, rather we are
busy and engrossed in our important activities.
A Humble Request: Next time when you come across such characters, please do give a concern, as it just takes a little heart and nothing else.
After all, its not just a piece of cloth.
Happy New Year:-)
