Today while I was on my way to M.G. Road to purchase books, I parked my two-wheeler next to a Car in the traffic signal! The traffic was taking more than its usual time to clear! But the long hours of wait in the never ending traffic jams is no more an unanticipated event in Bangalore. It has become a part of our daily life! While I was waiting for the green signal, I was thinking about things that happened today in college, at home and with my dear ones. All those situations and circumstances, few pleasant and most unpleasant that stress me day in and day out and drain all my energy! I am sure that like me, 99% of people around me at that time were all lost in their own materialistic life, a bundle of multiple events.
As I stood there, a kid of around 3 to 4 years looked at me from the car parked right next to me! The kid put his head out of the car, gazed straight into my eyes and smiled at me hugely! I had never ever seen the kid before, nor does the kid know me, yet he gave a smile that was authentic, simple and yet defeating! The smile just cut through into me and mesmerized me! It departed me totally from all my academic tensions, work pressure and every upsetting thought! It refreshed my energy levels and thought process too! As I smiled back at the little kid, I could feel my nerves loosen up, detaching me from every single deliberation! As the signal turned green I wove goodbye to the kid, the little angel and went ahead with a smiling face with new levels of energy, enthusiasm and excitement!
This incident reminds of my cute little niece Jaishri who is 3 to 4 years old. Every time she comes home, she fills the house with laughter, fun and cheer! She lights up the environment of the house which is otherwise very dull and gloomy. The few days she’s at home, she makes sure that each one of us is all around each other, interacting and not lost in our own different worlds! This, in fact is an exhilarating capability of these little angels who in the guise of children, move us to the world of innocence, create a world of magic and elevate us to a totally new atmosphere where even the elders detach themselves from the materialistic world, become a child themselves forgetting all the momentary things and experience happiness!
Hats off to the little Angels!
In special memory of my little niece Jaishri whom I miss every day, every minute!
Love You Jaichu!
