Kind attention

Of late I've been blogging a lot from my phone. Which is not a terribly fancy one, I love it nevertheless. Hence the sms style of writing and a few glaring grammatical errors.

The picture above is that of the day old progeny of Nuduki n ditto... Today it reminded me of the strange ways the universe to balance things... The cycle that is always followed...somewhere in the beginning of this blog i wrote of a new job... Somewhere in the middle i wrote of a nascent frustration... And then i stopped writing... Today 2 days after i gave my notice... I was riding back home from work... And in the safety of my helmet... My very own mobile enclosure... I was playing out an imaginary argument in my head... It was based on fact of course...the argument ended with me feeling how no matter how sincere your efforts are and no matter how good your intentions are the world today is not one to acknowledge it ... I will not be better off just because i am a better human being... As i was drowning in my uncharacteristic negativity i did.nt realise i had stopped in my tracks and turned my bright headlight away from the narrow path in front of me... There was an elderly man coming down the path . He obviously had difficulty walking and was moving slowly with the aid of a walking stick. As i paused and gave way for him, my mind was still swirling with the indignance of not getting my due. What's the point? I thought to myself. Suddenly the elderly gentleman crossed me and looked up with a smile that could only have come from the bottom of his heart... And said thank you very much... It was then that i realised i had waited i long enough to let him pass comfortably at his own pace. It had been too long since someone had thanked me for the little things i did for them... All i could do was smile back at the old man... I wish he knew the gratitude i felt towards him then...i rode away pulling back the visor of my helmet so that the wind hitting my face would dry my tears. I wonder how many people i had ever done the same for. Sometimes a thank you does more than a concious act of selflessness
