5Comments Guilt..

Today, I was going to withdraw some money from one ATM on my way home..

I was walking with earphones in my ears, listening to songs.

Suddenly one man popuped up in front of me, and with him, his wife n two children..

The family was looking poor.. n most probably outsiders..

He was saying something to me. so I removed earphones.

He asked (in Marathi): 

"Do you undarstand Marathi?"

"Hoah" (yes)

"Aho. Aamhi jara dusrya gawavarun aloy.. ".. [we have come from another village..]

"Damn!!" said I. I assumed these guys are 'professional' beggars, so I earphones back and walked away..

While withdrawing money from ATM, I thought, I didn't even listen to them. I was not in a hurry or anything. May be they are in some money issue that I could have solved. May be they are not just beggars.. May be they are just beggars. But I at least should have listen to them once..

Still in confused state I walked out of ATM and looked. They were gone.

I don't know why, but I'm feeling guilty for some reason. 

I should have listen to them...

8Comments Fit in

When I was young, I had this geometry blocks game. You know, you have blocks of different shapes like circle, rectangle, square, triangle n on big block with the exactly opposite holes of same shapes.
One day, I wanted to fit a rectangular block in a square hole. But it was not exactly fitting in. So I broke that rectangle shape in two. *zap* it fitted easily (if not perfectly). I was happy for a sec n then I removed that piece again. n tried to fit in original rectangle hole... Then I realized twas not a good decision to break the piece just to fit in the hole it never belong.

When you shift from one city to another; When you start hanging out with new people,  you have to change some habits of yours or some things that you do. But now-a-days before changing that, I ask myself a few questions. Is it really worth? Do I really wanna fit in? Do I really care if I don't? Do they really care if I don't?

Life, I think, is like that plastic block. It definitely fits somewhere you just don't know it where. Its up to you to decide whether to change yourself to fit in the first thing you come across or to wait and look for a perfect match.

9Comments किम्मत

माणसाच्या प्राणाला किम्मत आहे. कुत्र्याच्या पिल्लाला किम्मत नाही. वाह माणसा, सर्वात मोठा मेंदू मिळाला म्हणे..

एवढ्या इमारती केल्या.. रस्ते केले. गाड़ी चालवायला शिकला. त्या बिचार्या कुत्र्याच्या पिल्लाला काय कळणार रे..

फुल्ल अल्टो चालवत आला न त्या बिचार्या कुत्र्याला धड़क मारली. मेल ते बिचारा पिल्लू.

आता त्या कुत्र्याच्या जागी माणूस असता तर लगेच पोलीस केस. ५ वर्ष जेल मधे. 

पण हे माणूस नाहीये ना. त्याची चूक. मग काय? आज तिथेच कडेला पडून राहील. लोक जाता येता disgusting look देतील. उद्या कचरा उचलणारा त्याला उचलून नेईल.

प्रॉब्लम असा आहे की लोकं दिवसेंदिवस वाईट होत चालली आहेत, अन कोणाला ते कळत पण नाहीये. लोकांना वाटते आपण  प्रगती करतोय. शाळेत शिकवायचे ना तुम्हाला 'इतर प्राणीमात्रांवर  प्रेम करा'. तेव्हा प्रश्न पडायचा  प्राणी'मात्र' म्हणजे काय? आता पडतो 'इतर प्राणी' म्हणजे काय... 

'माणुसकी' आता फ़क्त माणसांनाच applicable राहिली आहे हे कळण्याइतपत डोक आहे का तुम्हाला?
