Both were holding each others hands the entire journey. Fearless. Confident. BLIND. There are more than 20 stations in the 100 km local train journey. How do normal people identify the correct station? We check the time. We see the current station. They trusted each other. On seeing them I was urged to ask them "dada, kause station jana hai aapko(Which station you want to go?)"..reply "Balichak". A sense of alarm went inside me .The station had passed already. I told them so. The calmness on the face, the trust in their eyes was noteworthy.Without any fear or anything, they deboarded the train on the next station and happily struggled their way out. Now, just an introspection, how much percentage of the day do we remain calm. Like for me its hardly 10-15%. We worry about placements, internships, salaries, foreign trips and what not. But some people have a totally different sphere of difficulties. Our worries would be like "lol" to them. They have a crisis of existence and we worry about the comforts. A very popular video on youtube which depicts the necessities of the third world country kids and the what the kids of the developed countries complain about would tell the different. I thanked SOMEONE for my comforts. If there was a conversation between us on the topic what one complains of in life, mine would be that my girlfriend left me. They would be like "wtf, we are alone blind at 11 pm at an unknown station, girlfriend would be the last thing to worry about". I went to Boston in February. Was spending my money on food like anything.Full freedom. A lady comes in the cafe, orders a coffee. Then timidly orders a doughnut only to cancel it. "NO, Sorry, its too costly for me". I wasn't expecting this. People worry about the price before eating a basic meal. I thanked SOMEONE for my freedom. In the end, its a lot of freedom some people enjoy due to monetary powers, while others are highly bound. Some people can complain not having a smart goggles, some about eyes. Stay humble.Stay cool. Life has its lessons.
