Theirs isn't anyone who does not have this aspiration and for most of us it starts creeping in during fag end of the year or the beginning on the new one. Yeah right am not trying to be different and I won't say that I don’t look forward to it if I do then would be senile. But but the desperation the anxiety the angst has settled like pearl in its shell deep in the ocean.
Like a serendipity, well not deeming the rest and the other but one do feel some sense of belongingness and gradually some pride and a part of it .
It was a few days back while walking in to a village- Titmoh, Deoghar District of Jharkhand on a day which is celebrated with full of vigour, passion and spirit. While walking in the village to collect some paper to get the errands of the account correct. I saw ladies dressed up with the kids all draped in new attire looking dapper. A lady was walking towards with me carrying a poly bag it was full of "Chura" and was handed over to me with a sense whether I would like it or not I would accept it or not. I was overwhelmed with this gesture and yet perplexed as the lady was a widow with very less fortune yet with a big heart. Completely taken aback with it I was thinking " she has a very big heart" and I thanked her gracefully as I could have done. While walking away I was feeling a sense of contentment.
Another instance in the same village happened when a group of villagers were helped in their enterprising thoughts and deeds and they have excelled in this so far. And believe me they do not possess any of these acumen - enterprise, skill, business, stock and many more. Yet they believed in a thought, a vision and they worked around. Seeing their success was one thing to feel elated. But they had put the last nail in as well, they insisted to treat my entire colleagues over a dinner and count my words it was sumptuous for an urban sit in dinner. The confidence and pride with which they called for this dinner was equally matched with humbleness and gratitude which again was unmatched and while looking in to their eyes one could easily make out - its just a beginning. And this is where I felt deep within " aur kya chhiye tha"…..
