~ Life Sometimes... ~

He came to sell pens, but he took my heart away!

Sans shoes or slippers, his small feet was an immediate sight to be noticed with disillusionment. His innocent smile is contagious and pure from his heart. He is untouched of the societal infirmities. A pure soul as I would love to call him. His dilapidated condition is a synonymous to the conditions he is living in, but his genteel smile and long-lasting purity of soul is mesmerizing.

He comes to me and just stood still, at this delicate age where we as toddlers were cocooned by our mothers, life has to offer him other scenarios. Though quite oblivious to what he is marketing a certain irony is being cooked around his destiny. The object he is selling will never be his true warrior in life - A "Pen", it could have made him topple his situation if his life allowed so. Now that he has been born under precarious circumstances, the toddler with his broken milk tooth and shabbily dressed aura has been designated to become an early life salesman. He will go through the grill of everyday hardships to fend for himself and be able to bring food to the table, many a day’s sleeping empty stomach. Oh, life what begets of you! Why have you done what you have done. 

For many of us when we were kids, our parents did the best they could have done to bring us to a level we all are today. They knew the perils of failure and what does living a failed life meant. They had the means to atone us different hats and live upto their expectations of living a grandeur of life. Now the situation is overturned, a soul seen with a contrast of nature where filling his belly and survival of the day is his main task, leave alone living in luxury, which is the dreams of his dreams

Deep diving into the situation, I ponder upon our laws of karmic existence, what is the true cause and effect of what you do and what you become. This can be a complacent justification to your heart when you habitually see such souls around you but here the test becomes, a test of time and your destiny. What behaviours you show and present before them tells your true nature of existence.

As they say "What is the use of sacrifice and philanthropy, if you start talking about it!", you do your bit in tandem of time and move on - pray to almighty to be able to give him courage of existence and improving upon his life from where he finds himself today. Miracles do happen, that is the beauty of life, are well not living in a miraculous way? Have we not taken life on a casual note? what have we done to earn such a body, mind and spirit and in such comfortable situation we are in today!

Not everyone is so fortunate to live a life of shine as we do - of course we need to reciprocate such endowment to our creator or destiny - Be agile and humble to bow down to his call, you can be devastated by any situation which he wills.

Today, a situation becomes a prelude to my thinking, a times script of nature which gives you hint to test yourself at this hour. You make him smile instantaneously by presenting him his most wanted need of the hour, the icing on the cake also happens as you spear him with a sanitizer and he asks, "here too!" as he outreaches his hand.

You say a final goodbye to him, and he is never to be found again, as he gets lost in time seeking an aimless dream, a mirage of a better living. You are left behold, with a praise towards the sky and praying for his betterment, a better future should befall on this nameless soul, a wanderer who has outcast your conscience with a differential thinking.... As I write past midnight, I truly thank God for his mischievous best, to give me a glimpse of what life can be!
