IS THIS THE LIFE???

Just two days back, i was roaming around at my place in midst of showers, was just enjoying getting wet,

Actually i was on my way from home to my shop and in mean time i had to also to do a small work given by my mom.

Just after finishing my job, i was about to leave from that place, and the evening “pooja” started in near by temple of our most adorable deity “Shri Jankinath ji”, Being kind of “Nastik” psychology I just don’t believe in going and worshipping, except a few occasions.

But then it was just a change of mind, or what, I gave a thought why not just join in the pooja and get the blessings as it was just by chance I was on there on time for pooja, so I just came in to the temple premises.

Since I wasted my long time in deciding what to do?? The evening prayer was almost at the ending note, but it was my luck, or call from god?? I have no clues, but ya it was something memorable as I was fortunate enough o join the pooja, after getting Darshan and Prasad; I quickly hurried up to shop as my papa was waiting for me to come, so that we can both go home together, so I started my Activa, and quickly made my way to shop. Just then, while I was crossing that way, a small kid (as appeared to me) called me, (now the conversation between us as follows) and in no time, I was on halt.

Kid : (with waving hand for lift), asked me “bhaiya kaha tak jaa rahe ho ?”

Me : tumhe kaha tak jaana he ? me to jawahar marg tak jaa raha hu.

Kid : bhaiya mujhe to collector tak jaana he, par aap is corner tak hi chor dena.

Me : thik he beth jao, and I was scolding him for asking unknown persons for lift

Kid: then he replied bhaiya, ghar dur he and baarish aa rahi he.

Me : okie, but aaj ke baad kisi se lift mat lena, chalo abhi beth jao, me is corner tak tumhe drop kar deta hu.

Kid : theek hai bhaiya..

Then I started questioning a lot,

Q. 1) what were you doing here alone?

Bhaiya, I work here in garments shop ( I was quite amazed and shocked, such a small kid was earning, then certain questions that are obvious from our view came in)

Q. 2) why do you work, and don’t you study..???Beta, don’t start working now, study hard.

I do study bhaiya, I am in 8^th standard, I go to school in morning and come for work in evening, I have to work to earn livelihood, I have my mumma and elder sister at home, mumma used to work at near by homes and I work here, so if we don’t earn we can’t survive.

There were no more questions from my side, I was just made silent by that small kid, who actually faced this world much before than i will, in mean time the corner came, and my heart melted why not help him at least today, so I told him I will drop you till collector office keep seated, and after leaving him, I just kept thinking about that till today, and might be god has asked me to help him that day ??

IS THIS THE LIFE???
