A murky world



Recently i happened to meet a guy in m'pore bus stand who just made me wonder for hours till i reached home.
He was a born without eye sight i suppose and didnt no which direction to move,he was quite different from other blind people
He had a cell phone
He had a laptop bag wich seemed fishy(y shd he own a laptop????..wateva)
He was dressed like a professional

They were some of the significant points wich i could note.
I was standing behind him noting his activities,he was listening to some song(cause he was changing sumthin on his phone)
and whenever a bus came he shouted "Yaravadho sollungalen edhu bus no.1 ahh??"
There were one or two kind souls to tell "No..." but twas a shocking sight

After a couple of minutes he boarded his bus....twas a 5min encounter but its still there in my heart.
Though i've got an Aj n a Rj in me...
ie:
Aj in me-a kind hearted soul who wants to help people at difficult times...who wants to stay in this country and improve it.......wants to get into politics.......wants to help poor...wants to help orphans...wants to donate blood......wants to donate money.. wat not!
but
but
but
Rj dominates
Rj in me--A ruthless fellow,who is like more of self-centered and says "naama nambala pathupom...ooru adha pathukkum" n wants to go away frm this country and concerned more about his living and about his family !

this encounter made me realise tat 3/4 within me is Aj but tat doesnt mean i wont leave this country...(tats wat Rj spoke)

Till i reached home Aj was wondering about

why was he born tat way?
Why is there no one to help him?
where are his parents?
why dint i help him?

There was reply for each of em instinctively from Rj

His Fate
Who cares
Whats your concern
Cause i have better work to do.

but eventually before i reached home i shed some tears for the poor guy whose world is just one with noises and nothing to see....he mite know rajinikanth but does he know how he looks?...he knows he's talkin to his mom..but does he know how she looks?.....everything in the world is same for him...its "darkness";

and i tried how it would be, to be like him..by closing my eyes.....

and am thankful!

Life is always full of such mysterious things...no one can ever answer why things are that way, but we sure can help them look better.
Hope Aj gets the better of u next time.

yea da..thats the same case with me and perhaps with lots of people out there..Aj is called self conscience and perhaps the "heart" thinking while Rj is the "mind" thinking.. the first thing that held u from going and helping him is the thought that what others around you might think and whether it is necessary for u to help when there are millions of people around...for all this there is only one answer...JUST DO IT ONCE...yea thats right...just go ahead and help someone once and it will become very very easy the next time...just help someone once and enjoy the happiness that u wuld get later...
