Chillout Lounge

Early Today I was sipping my Morning juice and hopping at all the blogs after a long time and heard a knock on the door, when I opened the door there was a very old man with a file accompanied by a guy who looked bit young. The old man wished me[!] “Sir…” and introduced that he works for some temple in west mambalam and that’s his son.

I saw him with a “So what?” look… He opened the file and showed the 12^th grade mark sheets of his son and some identification proofs, and this guy has scored 1150/1200 and the man continued that now he needs to pay Rs.11,500 but couldn’t afford the amount!!!

For a moment I thought this is yet another phony trick, but when I looked deep into this guy… for some reason I happened to see myself few years back… during my B.Tech days at coimbatore … standing in front of my CC’s office for a default of 750 rupees for a monthly 1500 fee! That’s when life had twisted me up side down and pushed me to the edges and happened to see all the faces of humans… I was very young and immature those days.

That month I had to pick up a 2^nd part time job on the same month, where the 1^st job gave me just 750 bucks!! Though these days I earn x times more than that, even a single rupee was very valuable those days… and that’s when I learnt how a one rupee can make a lot of difference. I also learnt that dinner could be finished in 1 rupee… And that’s when life teached me money definitely matters than human values!! And that’s the same time I started to disrespect money!!

Now I see someone in front of me in a similar state!!!! I didn’t think much about fraud and gave them some money and immediately the old man asked “do you…… have any…… old clothes……?” by then, I could see some tears and his eyes filled with inability as a father!!! I gave them that I could give…

Finally the old man blessed and went to the next flat.

Hmm… I dunno why… but I see lots of different people these days with entirely different perceptions towards life…these days…

Yep, I’ve to admin I was disturbed a bit… 

Paradox! Paradox! Paradox… world…
