Life

Last week, after a usual day at work, I was travelling back home from Vikhroli station. I got to sit (a 4^th seat but was too tired and didn’t want to miss the seat) . I was really tired and I could hear people talking around. My head started aching again as I was not feeling well.

I usually like to look at people, observe them while travelling in the train, especially small children. Finally after some time, I shifted to a different place where I got to sit comfortably, and then I observed a kid about 10-12 years old. He was wearing yellow t-shirt, nice fitting jeans, a black kerchief around his neck (trying to act cool) and he was selling hair clips in train. He was doing his work (selling hair clips) with such enthusiasm and smile on face that I was fascinated to know where does he get this serene innocence from. I was observing him all the time since I saw him, then I looked at him and smiled, he smiled back with the most beautiful smile. I felt good and forgot my problems during that journey. That smile cheered me the whole week with a positive outlook in life

After some time he comes back to sell earrings, someone asked you sell earrings as well, he was like no. Then he added he is done with his selling for today and he was helping one old lady who was selling earrings in the same train. He was then giving money to a beggar who passed by and enjoying every moment of his life..

I was returning home from a stressful day where I said I hate my work , I had bitched and gossiped about people , the unfairness which has been adorned on me  but this kid who is not even sure of his next meal is still enjoying his work and life. Your attitude and innocence changes the outlook of your life.
