Humanity

"World is a stage!". We come across different characters in our life and some people will never be forgetable from our memories. My day starts before my HP iPAQ alerts me at 7'O clock because our biological clock is smart enough than gadgets. I am going to miss my morning walk in 'Aundh Road' very shortly in around 10 days. I prefer walking towards this road since it's pretty long and we could see different sort of people than people doing exercises in other places and make your mind doing exercise than relaxing. On the way I could see many characters. One sort of people are scavengers, cleaning the shedded leaves on the road. The most beauty of this road is the trees along the side of the road. These guys cleans the full stretch without knowing that they are doing the 'real' exercise. They are the one who makes this road more beautiful with neat and tidy. Another sort of people are the kids going for school in cycles. Some of them never fails to say 'hi' while crossing me. I remember a girl named 'Suchitha'. I used to remind my school days walking for long distance towards the end of village. Another sort of people are the employers who goes to office/work by walk. They too never fails to say 'hi' and the smile is TRUE not dubious. Others are the walkers who do their morning walk; I wish them while crossing me and I want to mention one among them. I also used to imagine how I will be during my 'age-old' days by looking at them. I do not know the name of one lady but worth mentioning about her. She never fails to advice those scavengers to cover their nose and mouth during their work. Alas, India is geographically filled with dust everywhere. She never hesitate to tell each and everyone before finishes her walk. She wishes me daily with 'Good Morning' and while we finishes our walk I am blessed with 'Have a good day' by her and we use opposite direction while finishing. One day she bought around dozens of 'nose cap' and she was giving to each and everyone of scavengers and asked them to cover their nose. I got tears by looking at the level of humanity she have in her heart. I amazed about the almighty's creation and prayed to get such heart for everyone. I really accept her wishes as blessings daily and I could not see her for some days. But my eyes were wandering in the road. Today I got her blessings and suddenly she asked me, "kyun poocha, maa kahan thi ethni din!". She replied herself that she had gone to Nashik. I was telling her about my plans of leaving pune and moving to Bangalore. Suddenly she replied, "maa ko pathaa lik-ke dedho, mein khabi aaya tho aatha hun". Also she stated that she had two sons and one engineer and other a lecturer also doing his Ph.D. My morning walk makes me more relax and I could work long hours in office because I am 'workaholic'. Most of the time I think how We got the habit of offering help to others; Is it by nature? Is it from the Almight?. Also I think this is the habit we inculcate by seeing others in our life.
