Perceiving out of normalcy

There are somethings in life which one can only view but cant really play it. So what happens when we see the world through different eyes. what happens when a subtle truth of life, sustaining, which as an individual no one can deny is contradicted. There are answers and understandings for each and every point in life but probably we are so indulged in our day to day activities to sustain our self that we deny those, deny to face it, deny to accept it. We know theres something wrong but we do not want to knock the roots of it in our minds only because its accepted .. it has become mundane and no one wants to jerk the normalcy cause its just OK for all..thats it. I used to catch a bus from deonar depot to mbp where I used to work previously. Every day morning I used to see a small boy aged nearly 8 - 10 years selling newspapers. Catching bus from the same bus stop frequently I somehow got to know him a bit. knowing him and till the time I was just seeing him, there existed a huge difference. We perceive what we actually see but there is actually more to it. He used to reach bus stop at 6:30 AM when the first morning press lot comes, be there till nearly 10 am where in his stock of papers are over. Then he used to rush home sleep for about 2-3 hours and then go to municipal school from 1 to 6. At 7 in the evening he used to be again at the same bus stop this time selling peanuts and hence has a different profile, sells till night 10-11 and then does his homework at night. Coming back from office I get down at the same bus stop and see this boy selling peanuts.. What I intend to describe is yes thats his schedule and we all know that if he has to sustain himself he has to go through all this. I am not relating probably like everyone does but still theres a fact that cant be denied. I tried to see the world through his eyes and it was terrific. In a broader manner hes busy from the age of 10, his life doesn't has any time to play and theres no complains on any front cause its just accepted. We all are busy in our profession, there are times when we lead a hectic life and theres also a end to it but co relating to his life hes never gonna have time for himself, time to respite from his day to day chores. There are no weekends in his life..lol . Would anyone of us leading a nearly stable life would like to be him. Its really hard to play his life nevertheless we all can only vision it. There are innumerable scenarios probably in each and every corner but we even fail to recognize them cause in our life, our mind has accepted them as normal. We as an individual can help them but root cause is about the existence of these things which needs to be eliminated . I do not want to question system in this, but I would really like to jerk that "normalcy" factor, at least this shouldn't be disregarded and then only something can be done!!!

Great job buddy. Liked your post. Try to create paras when you write so that it is more readable. The thought is there and its beautiful. A little bit more coherence will help you.
Am proud of you (as usual).

Very nice...
It's tough to put the thoughts on paper..thoughts of..everyone!
If we look around, everyone is busy in their routine. Even the word "routine" has a flavor of acceptance in it's core… But everyone is accepting that "routine" to be able to change it… The small boy…wants a better life!

Helloji:)O mere chotte Bhai it was nice to read your experience. Appriciating ones life everyday is important and being humble is even more important. I feel if we all have this mission to life, the happiness of others this world would be a wonderful place to live in:)We need to take the responsibility and apply and Imbibe in our lives.

There is something to learn in this what you wrote.Its that when we have life we have struggle with it.Human can not have life without struggle, but to win over is the spirit and courage which everyone should have. Its not about the difficult life that kid is leading but the life condition in which he is leading. few people who have the life full with luxuries n comforts are still unhappy and cant make a difference to their as well as anyone elseses life.

I think Rupreet its very good to know that this child struggles so much and creats value in his each day of his life.

Sorry Brother for writting so much:)But yes we should stand up and do as much as we can do for people and help them out.

Keep it up, I am with you for these humble causes. I think the life phylosophy which I practice can be of great help to you.keep writting and yes in paras:-)tkcr
