Irony
She travel the same route past 2yrs but still everyday is a new way of looking at same old things and something or the other brings a smile on her face.
The streets were buzzing with traffic and at this time of the day Generally at some roads the traffic moves at such a slow pace that she can be a witness to many such incidents, which mean nothing on any busy day probably
When she gave hold to her car at one red light traffic signal she noticed a small kids holding some eye catching fashion magazine and all latest newspapers. Irony is these kids never been to school and they are sales man of their own life. Next thing she saw was real irony of life and she was thinking,“LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL?”
A shining new Honda city, driven by good looking, sophisticated lady must be 28-30 was next to her car. This small kid put a weekly newsmagazine at her rear window. Lady grab the magazine and after couple of second taking glimpse of all the headline she returned it back .The boy who was smiling while passing the newsmagazine to this Honda lady was feeling cheated, probably he would have got just 1Re commission on sale of magazine to this lady. How much would have that newsmagazine cost 10 rs and what she driving must be 10lakh .. wearing some top brand outfit. What she just did ? she gave hope to this child and in few second she just snatched that hope.
She has to smile at the ironical ways of life. She has to… because she can hear the cars behind honking to crush the smile of another kid somewhere at another traffic signal.
At next traffic signal a middle aged man who was standing on the pavement asked a person on a scooter if he can get a lift till the next junction and I saw him nodding and the traffic was still waiting for the green light and in the next few min she saw these two people on the scooter busy talking about traffic problems and the politicians indifference towards it all. Its so easy to befriend someone, so easy to smile at anyone, you just need to be smiling before you smile at others isn’t it.
“Strange certain things which we come across daily which might be insignificant at that time seem so different when you know all is well, when you know someone is smiling, some one is happy…Life sure is amazing, with so many colors, sometimes a combination of white and black, Isn’t it?
As narrated by my friend today..
