Am i God Gifted

we all at some point of lifetime think " why this happens with us" . at least i do think......for last few days or for last few months i am into a state of mind where i was bored of my life.... my routine and every day came up as a problem and challenge for me.....challenge of get up early in the morning( 8:00 o clock) lol....challenge of taking an auto and challenge to reach on time before 9.30.....challenge of attending 2 hrs lengthy classes and challenge of getting back home.....walking to main road n getting auto or searching someone and ask with the not wanting smile can you please drop me in between if convenient for you.......!But the experience i had in the morning today probably made me feel i dont have ant challenge than my own mind..........the challenge of everyday...... i was standing at the bus stop around 9 to get in the college bus(recently started) reducing one of my thought to be tension of life.....the cold chilly weather of delhi was blowing....as expected i was looking at watch..playing with mobile phone and was loaded with bag and coat.....i saw a visually challenged young person walking on the left foot path of the road!i knew he would now cross the road as there a blind school inside the opposite sector of my home....all i could see was he was confidently walking with his stick in one hand and his bag in another....he needed no help....he got down from foot path just few feet from where i was standing and start crossing the road.....he started crossing i stood watching....he didnt not expect anyone to be even stadning nearby...but often being a normal human being i expect lot of people to help me in lot of things......but he didnt.....he started crossing...though road was not very crowded with vehicle yet there were ample amount...i could see people on scooter and people driving cars confused as to stop or not to stop.....this person goes forward and propbably by sound or vibration, i dont know....came back ward....i wanted to help in first go.....but then i reminised when i was very young in 4th or 5th standard i was taught in school that " people who are challenged dont like getting help".....but finally watcing the scooter people and cars drivers so confused and to help them realise yes what they are seeing is true which they were not able to realise though not being physically challenged that the person wanted to cross the road!so i went near that person and asked shall i help you cross the road....i tell you then strength the courage reflected in his voice" yes mam, thank you"...i was stunned and walked quietly holding his hand!!!!!.......i was back to my place and watched him go further the way he wanted....he struggled initially to find it when i left him but then later started walking as the one initially i saw.....thanks to my bus which came late gave me time for self introspection.....and i thought....why i find everything to be an issue when i am not supposed to....and i thought all those things which were an issue for me should have been an issue i were like that young buy....i thought he is better and god gifted than i am.....as "he has the positive attitude towards life which i am lacking!"

Are Indians united?

here it begins....35 girls with one of our sir whom we called kabir khan and ourselves as chak de india!journey began at srisiim boading the colg bus then then landing at New Delhi statn to board k k express which goes via konkan railways going to udupi statn from where the journey was further to continue......i travel every year down south being an iyer to chennai or coimbatore where my maternal and paternal relatives stay!however the konkan route was never taken by us....n my father before i was leaving said it will be very nice journey going via mountains and tunnels.....a friend of mine had made sure that i have wada paav at bombay where i have never been too......as i have been only to northern(thanks to yearly school trips) and southern part of india!i was already scared of this journey as my supressed extrovert behaviour didnt know what to do!i was going to a place where i know everyone yet dont know any one!but as always my mom says take everything as a challenge and i had no choice but to go for this trip.......the first day in train was something different than i had expected ....the so called friends or the people whom i knew still unknown to me sat with in that 6 seater of sleeper!or rather i should thanks them to have accomadated me there.......the first day went off well.....came night of that day!wassem sir was in our compartment as all the 35 girls were seated in two adjacent compartments!sir was here with us at night and we 12 girls of our compartment sang at the pitch of our voices disturbing all our co passenger as there is no rule book to say you cant sing!we indians have right to express ourselves....and wassem sir had put loud music in the laptop unlike the expected behaviour of a proffessor who is supposed to stop students frm disturbing others......the discussions along started.....sir's poems were the best part where he had described about the some war on the name of religion, though i remeber the passion with which sir expressed dont remeber exactly the words!sir being a muslim had written which meant some what like" it hurts to see humans fighting in the name of religion" taking up some issue of either gujrat riots or something.......probably it rang in my mind the night but got vaporised later in music and other discusiions of we the students ranging from stragies and boy friends and girl friends and much more......! when a co passenger complained that we were disturbing we all became nervous and sat quietly staring at sir!meanwhile a young person sleeping in the birth opposite to 6 seater got up and sat who was quite till now!we all became further nervous that he too is going to shout and he said " chup kyun ho gaye, continue singing and doing masti!hum humare colg trips me itna karte the and i am missing that seeing you all!" we all clapped and started again!that night went off!next day was spent nothing but eating eating and eating and most of the people reading the book " 2 states" of chetan bhagat and all would come near me and say " seri seri" or " illai" and we would all laugh at that and continue doing what we actually were!and no doubt we were to feel sleepy at night but our destination was to get down at Udupi which was to arrive around 12.30 acoording to train scedule!we all decided to sleep till 11.30 then get up and pack up our luggages and went to bed at 10!at 11 a bhaiya who had been with us from colg came running and shouting sir is calling you all to the other compartment!we left few to take care of our luggages and went to other compartment!we could see all the girls or rather entire compartmnet was awake and standing and shouting!we all managed to get in the crwod and reach the rest students of our college!and got to know that few guys of that compartment were behaving indecently to our college girls as the guys were from some football or hockey team they were huge around 20 in num......so to scare them off and prove we are also many in num sir had called us!it actually did work....they were taken aback......and things setteld.....we all returned back to our compartment.....and then!comments which i got was" all south indians are like this" and people commenting were none other than those with whom i study! and the discussions continued agar yeh dilli ke pass hota to chodte nahi s**lon ko!n blah blah!i sat near window seat and had no option than to hear people cusring south indians!meanwhile sir came and glanced to them to all to keep their mouth shut!i dont know if he could realise that i felt bad or that he didnt want any argumensts between we the students on that isue!we spoke about religions the day before!we celebrate holi diwali together....n we often say i am Indian?are south indians and north indians diffrent?at sringeri where we had been staying my friends will often ask me " are you able to understand what they are speaking?" people at sringeri spoke kannada and i was tamilian!we indians dont know about states of india as the southern part have four with four different languages and so are their cultures diffent which is why we say unity in diversity in india!but i cant see unity....could observe only diversity!and unity in different parts of indian viz south north propbably have more which i am not aware of! and still we all claim " I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN" .... what are we proud of ?northern india or southern india?eastren or western?and dream of india to become a developed nation!i still wonder are Indians united???????
