Namma Usiru (Life)- All Good Things -1

Me & Aps were chit chatting in the Auto rickshaw on the way to the Brigade Road, this day also happens to be the one when I had a temperature of 102 deg F ( Now Imagine how deseperate one can be for be shopping that any escape from Work turns one in to a Retail Therapy propogator)

Me - Arrey Only Rs 40. from Location K to Brige Road
Rick Guy 1 ( about 60 years old)- Yes Madam, this Rs. 40 is what I will charge you
Me ( Shocked))- Uncle... ( Pausing)... but havent the rates changed
Rick Guy 1- Yes Madam, I dont have the new rate card, So I cannot charge you people extra
Me- ( More Shocked), Aps ( Shocked)
Rick Guy 1- Dont worry madam dont feel bad, please give me Rs. 40. I cannot cheat
Me ( Super Shocked, short of words)- Please calculate based on the new Rate how much do we pay.
Rick Guy 1 ( Did Some calculation)- Okay Madam if you insist its Rs. 50
Me ( Super Duper shocked)- Okay please take Rs. 50
Rick Guy 1- Thank you madam
Me ( Absolutely Shocked)- Uncle Please take extra Rs.5
Rick Guy 1- No Madam
Me ( About to Faint)- Please Uncle Please take Extra Rs. 5 ( which he takes), I have never ever met a Rick Shaw Driver as Honest & Sincere as you. I dont have words you certainly deserve an Award. You are great, its very difficult to find people like you especailly in this corrupted Auto rickshaw driver's world. If ever you need any help please let me know.
Rick Guy 1 ( sheepishly smiling)- Thank you Madam, Nice to hear such words ( as he about to leave)

As I was walking on the busy lane of Brigade Road, it brought a smile & made me teary eyes with happiness i.e: there are still people who live by Principles. In this world where dear/ loved ones, lovers , friends cheat & break promises & trust. Today there was this RickShaw Driver who told me "Yes - Trust, Committment & Values exist and are not mere words "

Thank You very Much Mr. Abdul, it was wonderful riding in your AutRickshaw

STAND BACK - In the middle of the room

It's time to face up to the fact that the past is gone, and any effort to repeat it is a sure way to stay stuck in old blueprints that you would have already outgrown if you hadn't been so busy clinging to what you have already been through. Take a deep breath, put the box down, tie it up in a pretty ribbon if you must, and bid it a fond and reverent farewell. Life is passing you by, and you're in danger of becoming an old fossil before your time- (apparently which I am reminded of time and time again in some form or the other)

In all this ho hum of "past spaces" there is another almost abandoned space " Wait" In silence and waiting something inside you goes on growing--your authentic being. And one day it jumps and becomes a flame, and your whole personality is shattered; you are a new being. And this new being knows what ceremony is, this new being knows life's eternity ........MY ETERNAL BLISS....

WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT....STAND BACK ... SOMETIMES its alright to stand in the line :)
