BRAINWAVE
-a true incident

Learning ceases only with death. If we are open to improvement, then we can draw inspiration from things we see, feel for the moment and then tend to forget them.
That unique stranger became my inspiration. That day I was standing at a little distance from a bus stop when suddenly I caught sight of a man standing at bus stop who changed my perspective. God forbid me but to portray him clearly I have to use this word. He literally was a monkey- faced man. His physique was too, abnormally huge. He looked unusual from us and anyone who sees him would certainly get scared. I too was stunned but the first thought which came to me was how brave is he? Every minute of his life must be a challenge to him. However, he is still living and that really matters. I got inspired by his strength to live. That day I decided no matter what I face in life I’ll never give up the desire to live. Second thought which came to me was how fortunate am I?
I strongly believe everything happens with god’s will and his will, can never be wide of the mark, hence everything happens with a divine purpose, which we fail to understand. Still when adversity comes, I get down in the dumps, sometimes lack self-confidence and fall prey to inferiority complex. That’s the time when I can’t resist myself from lodging complaints in god’s court for not bestowing me with this and that, for not making me such and such beauty. That stranger inadvertently helped me in coming out from this psyche. I felt if not dazzling like super models I at least have average looks, I have everything to lead a contented life , still I keep cantankerous for not giving me this and that, for not making me such and such gorgeous. It’s not only me several in this world think so, isn’t? That jiffy I took an oath not to make any more complaints and be happy that I have much more than other people who starve even for essential amenities and at the same time not to be pompous of what I have.
My heart was thanking him for giving me a constructive thought when I saw that his bus came, halted on the stop but not more than a trice. Before he could board the bus, the driver took it off at full swiftness. He ran behind the bus four steps but in vain. He could not yell I presume he had hitch in talking too, I am not sure about it but I am certain why the driver didn’t take its stop. He saw the man and his fear override him so much that he forgot his duty, sympathy and basic humanity by disallowing him to board his bus. The man came back to his place with a serene face but I could feel the thunder in his heart and twinge in his eyes. Why do people behave in such disgust way to people who are already in grave pain, why we add up their difficulties, why do we become the source of their pain ?why?
Tears were rolling down my eyes and even now tears are their in my eyes when I am narrating this to you to seek some brainwave out of it as I did.
