"If Only", the blind beggar by the street, was thinking aloud, "I had an eye, I would want to see that good man who dropped the penny in my shapeless can!"Or at least that is what I incurred from the innocent glance of the old man, until I glanced sheepishly some more, to find him frowning the moment the man was out of sight, a blunt "Blah, just a penny, !@#$%^!"maybe...
Appearances can be deceptive, and I took a pause, while analyzing the Old man's reaction, probably not all of em are so..But this one was.. May be its just today, may be everyday.. not sure, Blah Who cares, I shy'ed away from those thoughts, the signal went green and I drove off..
If Only, the beggar had been someone else, someone rich, someone independent, he would have been someplace else, but here he was, with bits for clothes, holding onto a shapeless, a little less orphaned, Can, begging for help! But, destiny unfolds before us and we are bound to abide by its clumsy directions! I got some, some got more, some lesser, and some none, yet one seems to tangle with problems every day, irrespective of what we've got..
If only, there were lesser of em problems, I would have been better off! Far from possible, it seemed, but felt good to the ears! Even better, are these words, which console me every time I fang out my anger among the hardships and anxious questions "Whatever happens, happens for a reason!" .. However Cliche it might seem, makes me happier at rough times.. But, there are those awkward moments too when I fail to relate to the phrase..
The beggar had problems, so did i..And probably everyone.. But the hypothesis remains to be proven, as one stands on different verges of life, looking away from problems, solving them, scared by them, strikingly different reactions, but surprisingly re-traceable to the same focal, Problems..
And, Amidst all the sad, happy, silly thoughts, I smiled, and then I smiled some more...Just another day.. My thoughts and me.. take a pause.. and move on..
