When growing up as a kid we all dream of few things. Me too as a kid had so many things around me which I feel made me emotional at that time. Now I think of those things and think whether was that happiness then or may be i grew up.
I remember going for a haircut to a salon and on the way my mother used to get a balloon for me on the way back.. those typical air filled balloons which had a long thread to hold.. and I cannot imagine I used to walk back with that balloon in my hand and feel sad when after few days all the air of the balloon would knock out . That was happiness at that age.
Later going to school I used to have some friends of mine being dropped at school in nice cars and I used to look and feel.. wow.. when they used to get down the cars. I was not jealous but since I did not have that ride than I did not know what it is to have. Now that I drive a nice luxury car I don't even feel that it does matter .
Its not because my taste has changed its just that I matured in thoughts i guess. What mattered then was different and what matters now is different as I look at life on a very bigger scale.
What touches me most ?? Cannot be put in one paragraph.
I feel sad for kids who are born in poor families, who have no proper food to eat. The worst part I feel for them is that they can see TV and so many ads on it regarding food or see stalls of food but have no money to eat. On my recent trip to India went to a temple with my mom and aunt and had some kids begging outside the temple. Most of the people outside the temple were giving them money. I asked those kids what would u like to eat?? They said "wada-pav "(bread with some potatoes in it)and pointed me to a place in the corner and asked others to go ahead and said would join them in a few minutes. Spoke the owner of the small restaurant to give them two wada-pav each and cup of tea or coffee.. he looked at me and said to them?????.. I said yes and told them to sit inside and eat. On the way back from temple I bumped into them and they were saying bye to me and said we ate and they were so happy to see me and I smiled and looked in their eyes and they took looked and me and I felt so good.
Also what touches me sometimes isthat when others are nice to you when they need something out of you and later they don't even care. I have helped so many people on day to day basis only because I want to help. Later some of them change with times and Do I regret that I helped them?? I don't regret because everything in life has to change. Life is not static, its dynamic and things change with time. I don't regret over some people who are not in touch with me now as they were never met to be in touch with me all my life is what I feel.
Something I still don't understand is how people have hatred towards each other? Its not that I don't understand its just that I feel that life is so short to love and and how do somepeople have so much time to hate??
I am in love with this song , Imagine by John Lennon and I listen to it everyday and everyday I fall more in love with it. .. the lyrics go..
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
