What's your Excuse..??

Today Morning after having breakfast, i hopped onto the BMH shuttle,the shuttle came onto the road and stopped at the first signal,
Suddenly something was happening on the busy road, it grabbed my attention, and before i could get a complete picture, many in the shuttle were popping from their seats to 'enjoy a fight'.
I could not get the whole story, but as far as I understood, a middle aged person(A) in his bike was hitting a relatively young man driving a scorpio (B) with hand and helmet.
He was accusing the latter of something and as could see he was clearly furious, I assume he was having his own personal problems, when this problem instigated the anger out of him.
As seconds passed, there were many onlookers both inside the shuttle and outside.
It was troubling my mind in the morning, and I made up my mind to stop it.....but I dont know the language and time ... said my mind and that was my Excuse.....
meanwhile as the fight was still going on, an Auto-driver stepped out of his three wheeler walked into the middle of the trouble and interfered, my mind said 'now it is ok'.
He may be illeterate or a less educated - which i am not sure - but definetely he was the only brave and strong person, amidst all those humans who were watching the movie....
He sent clear the furious person and also the other from each other and after some scoldings and some drama finally the traffic signal was clear and our shuttle started moving, so did the others - both the actors and the audience-
At the end, when these images where playing in my thoughts, I left with in shuttle from the area with a mere excuse and small guilt  !!
what if the Auto-driver had not middled, a casual answer would be some hurts, some wounds and whole lot of drame....!!Are we worth just that...
"if i am not in it ..why should I get into it..??" This is one notion when we see something bad happening,
But a brave man or rather a True human is one who walks into such situations, without thinking about the profit or gain.
Indeed in this modern world this outlook not only helps solve problems and also to avert them from happening...because with being a great human comes great social responsibility..animals do not need an excuse..!!
I then decided that in future I would not live with such an excuse ......cause I do not have enough courage to answer to my Inner soul..when it asks me "What is your Excuse ..??"

Is it all about Money…??


One day when it was late, I went to a hotel, to have by dinner packed.
I ordered Jeera Rice, the hotel owner took the money and gave me a receipt.
After a short pause, I asked him what you are giving with the Jeera Rice,
He said 'Sagu', only a small moment passed by when the owner as though defending his recipe about to be delivered, gave me an answer which made me think only after I reached my home.

"He said if made properly, you don’t require anything to eat with it,"

When I reached home, I thought about what he said, more than just giving an answer to my question, he made an additional effort and spoke something, which came out not as a defense to his recipe, but out of the mere pride in the recipe which is made by his people.

If we go back to the times when man first started to work, he was to get some food out of his work, so that he could feed his dependents and also him.
gradually the motive to work changed, for some it was for fame, for some it was for something else but for some it was for money.
And I feel it very much true, even today.
when the quality of work done directly affected the food you EAT, man was more responsible,
now we see that work is business, the quality of his work no more directly affects his food.
Not many care about the quality of work done, do we actually deserve what we get for what we have done.

A simple example can be the difference between the Home made food and Hotel food.

Ideally there should not be much a difference between the too, but many times there is,
one does for love, while the latter 'is just a business'.

The same is the case with the politicians of the country, how does their Rozi affect their Roti.

there is something missing in us ..??

The commitment, that it affects you when you make some mistake,
you ...not your customers !!!
you ...not your neighbor !!!
you ...not your community !!!
you ...not your country !!!

It affects your "self"... it affects your inner Goodwill.
how can you sleep tight, when some one is having sleepless night because of your work.


This does not change, until the change comes from our within.

As some wise saying exists, "when a egg breaks from outside, a life ends, while when an egg breaks from within, a life begins."
