Be a reason for someone's smile
Getting into the final few hours
of the year which has been almost a disaster to me and to make it even worse is
the fact that I still remain the person who I was at the beginning of the year.
There were few things which I wanted to accomplish during the start of the year
but when I look into my diary almost all the check boxes are unchecked, it
shows that I have gone nowhere with my life.
Around 7 in the evening I venture
out and hit the road; sometimes the Road has always been my second home,
whenever I feel odd, I move to my second home and I bet when I return I would
be a changed person, I have learned many lessons from Road travels than inside
my school or college rooms. Even I find these lesson interesting than those
lessons which I learn within the four walls which never made any sense
(at-least to me)
There wasn't the usual traffic which I always accustomed to travel with; maybe everyone were sitting with their families, children and having fun talking about the things which made them happy. Even I love to talk about my writing, my novels, and my music with my family but whenever I do so they would always turn a deaf ear to me. Maybe my stuff never draws their attention, all they want from me is good grades and get myself settled in an MNC company and earn a five digit salary and after few years work in US or UK and earn a seven digit salary for a couple of years and then return to India having a bank balance of few lakhs; maybe that’s the mindset of every parent in our country, going behind your passion can be one of the biggest crimes you could have ever done in a country like India, even rapes and murders are less considered crimes than pursuing your dream.
While I was driving, I was completely lost in my thoughts. I was thinking about how on hell a flight could disappear just like that, so why can’t I just disappear like that (I know how stupid it sounds to tell this). I saw so many people walking, few looked happy, few looking worried, few looked as-if they never cared the fuck on what was going, few looked excited as the New year was approaching, few were busy with their phone, few were holding their bags and had a tired look which suggested me that they had a very long day at their office, I just wondered how many of them were like me, without knowing what they were doing. Everyone seemed to know what they are doing and where they were heading, I was the only person who never had a place to reach nor knew what I was doing.
The signal turned Red and I could see much traffic holding up within few seconds though it seemed that there wasn't much traffic, I turned off the bike’s engine and saw a small girl who was sitting behind in a bike with her dad. The girl was few meters in-front of me. She sat in the opposite direction, as a kid even I used sit like that. The little girl with two cute little pony tails was looking at me licking her candy floss. I waved my hand at her and she waved me back. I stuck my tongue out, she did the same. I took my hand off the handle and acted as-if I was about to fall, I could see the worried expression in her eyes. I acted as-if I gained my balance and held the bike’s handle, she laughed and I joined. She was like the best friend I wanted. It’s like she told me what I was missing, she made me smile in just few seconds. I started my bike and went neat that girl, she offered me her candy, and I took a piece and fed her, she ate and bent forward and planted a kiss on my cheek and said something which I never understood, she spoke in some language which I never heard of.
The signal turned green, she blew a flying kiss and waved a good bye. I never knew who that little girl was; I have never seen her but she gave me happiness. I could not understand what she spoke but she made me happy. She offered me her candy but I was a complete stranger to her, she smiled when I smiled, she looked worried when I acted as-if I was about to fall; maybe she told me that life is not the way we often see it.

We often complain about things
but all it requires is to look from a different prospective. The little girl
taught me. How many times did you smile at a stranger, how many times have you
helped someone who asks you, how many times you missed enjoying a particular
things when you are busy worrying about your past, how many times you think about
your past and forget that your future never really rely on your past, how many
times have you really been a reason for someone’s smile. Be a kid, spread
smiles.
I go back to my home, take my diary and tore
the page which I had written last year about the things I need to do, coz now I
knew that it doesn't matter. I turned few pages and wrote this along with my
New Year resolution which is,
“Be a reason for someone’s smile”
