Part of our routine - wake up - get ready - get going. Now, this ‘get going’ was going a bit tough for the past few days…My brother and I would leave home for office and what do we find… a multitude of people awaiting to welcome us, all trumpets replaced with the honking, a place of no rules – our roads! - Everybody in a rush to thump and leave the other behind, people in the cars would prefer to have the windows up even if the weather was awesome… who would want to enjoy the weather when it brings with it an unwanted headache of decibels ringing! Two wheelers, four wheelers, trucks and buses, all of them trying to make space, JUST for themselves…what a selfish world being portrayed!
Then one fine day, as though the sun gleamed in a differently, as though all the Gods above were favoring us, it flashed to us to diverge from this chaos.. and were astonished to find ourselves in this heaven… we were on a road that though was though not a red carpet welcome – but a lush green one, so serene, peaceful, pleasant and untouched. It was hard to believe greenery on either side of the road, we do not see many people no stodgy traffic, no signals… simply uninterrupted drive.. too good to be true..something similar to what Alice must have felt in Wonderland. I think exactly like that! Then slowly as we moved ahead we would see the huge buildings growing as we near them, the backdrop of clouds.. I wish I had better words to describe the joy within me. I was enjoying both the natural and artificial world around!
Now we take that path daily, it’s the outer ring road…it’s a fresh feeling to come to office with a fresh mind. You do not have any guilt of scolding and fighting and cursing people on your way to office, no hard feelings towards anyone...plain mirth!
This is what makes me ponder of what life would be after all that chaos and humdrum creeps everywhere! I know I can’t do much but just hope that I don’t add on anything harsh to this beautiful world around us which translates into beauty within us! I strongly believe in it. So why don’t we take minute steps to beautify the world around us? Trust me it’s worth a try!
m liking it....
