Another day...... another entry in my thread-cum-blog-cum-duniya
Today i witnessed some unique.... which we don't generally see everyday. I was at the bank, making some payments. Unfortunately, i couldn't find my pen, although i make it a habit to carry one when i go out. So i had to request an elderly gentleman besides me to give his. I took some easy 5-10 mins to fill the forms and when i finished, i turned around to see that this elderly gentleman is waiting without any impatience, for his pen.
Generally what happens is, that we get so impatient, that we would bring our hands closer to the person, as if ready to snatch the pen right from his hand. But this guy or i should say, this person was comfortably waiting for me to finish what i was doing.
All of us have a fast lives. How much do we care for the other person? How many times, have u had the gratitude to give a lift to someone who waved at u or bother anything other than earning ur livelihood.
These are somethings, which sometimes fill my mind. Where exactly are we? Today, i read an article in the 'Article's section' called '
racing against life' (The link would be

It describes the similiar fact. We get so engrossed in our lives that we seldom have time to think beyond us, our lives... We do read the morning paper... get briefed on what's happening, but how many of us think about it? We can gather all the facts we need, prepare very well for CAT and the subsequent stages, but before a manager, we're human beings and human beings need to think... Think about others, think what's happening in our society, our social sins... Agreed, we all have fast life, agreed we have less time, but sometimes, it is necessary to give time for all this too.
