oh...how does it feel when u are accused of curiosity...and time pass when u enquire of a friend or a near one. D o you think i love to hear u lament..that i advise u coz i have no other work?? Is that how u treat others when they share their sorrows to you. Or u think i am safe and happy in my world that i cant feel of your pain?? Do you always want me to speak your side..never pointing out where u slipped..what faults happened from u? do u expect a cheerleader from me. I am trying to help you..
Even in the midst of my peace and happiness i am troubled, i am pained..thinking of u. i silently pray to god to give you the happiness i enjoy.
hmmmmmmm.......
what more shall i add.
Again its a pleasant time.Seeing the birds chirping in the morning , the flowers smiling, the greenly leaves waving as i walk to my office. Being thankful that i got an opportunity to work amidst this beauty...in this dessert. I am greeted with good morning by the depressed looking cleaner boy. i wish he had some life in his eyes. a dream in his heart. he looks lost..withdrawn..as if nothing more to hope.
and i think..after all he has a job..and a place to go back for vacation..cant he be bit more happy. Any way you reached here ..now enjoy the time..Its easy to say. i know this new batch of cleaner boys have only joined. Fresh from their country land..missing their loved ones..from their eyes i am sure this is not the job they were promised..this is not the salary they were expecting...
i walk toward my computer trying not to dwell too much. What could Buddha do.. when he found the unhappiness surrounding him..preach and teach them to be satisfied with what they have... what else can one do. But the essence of life or the spirit of it in the present generation is fight and win ur worth...
subdued ..reminding myself ..that i am helpless i type my pass word and log into the world. I am no longer in dessert. From my childhood friend to my blog frnd whom i have never met..i start my life..contend..
The spirit and enthusiasm of the tea boy is catching. He gives a freshness to the office . An office ..where everyone is grumbling in spite of their fat salaries..All these years i couldn't find a single one happy for his present position. A job in this company is a dream job for an outsider..still those who got inside never happy..
May be they are..but the little bit of disappointment they have..they must be sharing with me.
Chatting with my collage friends i too join the crowd of depressed realising i have not reached anywhere near my destination..Call from my family brings me back to peace and happiness i enjoy..
I walk out to enjoy the next section of my life where i am the most important person in the world.
thus i live....some times happy some times sad..

You write so well, almost poetic.
Don't think too much about others dear and get upset...I know, I am the last person to be advising this !
Isn't it nice to hear the sounds of spring. Its autumn here now and I am so not looking forward to winters - it gets really depressing with shorter days and longer nights accomanied by storms and rain, rain and more rain.
Take care
thanks 2B's MOMMY.
Who accused you? Sometimes people are so insensitive.
And about the tea-boy(s) I too used to feel the same way!
I guess each one of us is like u--sometimes happy, sometimes sad..and life goes on!
We all get by with a little help from our friends..Blog/childhood/college/office--dont u think?
Cheers

@preeti its so true "We all get by with a little help from our friends.."
The spirit and enthusiasm of the tea boy is catching. He gives a freshness to the office .... how true.. we had a tea bhaiya when I worked in Bangalore.. he was more like an uncle but we called him bhaiya.. I still remember him fondly.. he was the brightest part of my day.. He would bring a cart of tea every morning and afternoon.. And every morning there would be vada pav in his cart.. while I struggled with some code after yet another sleepless night he would interrupt me and say "Nashtha kiya beta"? and he would give me my vada pav and tea.. I have had some enlightening conversations with him.. which always bordered around why my empty stomach was the culprit !! :) You brought back some lovely memories.. will blog about it soon!!
Well said - and thank you for the birthday wishes :). You're right ... so much to be happy about but we chase distant ideas forgetting to enjoy today's bounty.
