2 months or 2 minutes 🚲🚲🚲

I used to come to college by bicycle every day. But unfortunately one day in September my dress got struck in the chain of the cycle and the chain got out of the cycle. I tried repairing it manually but it ended in failure as it got out after few stamps. I was frustrated and a passerby told me to take the cycle to the cycle shop and repair it in the same day. I thought it's okay I can walk to the college and thought of repairing it in a fine day. And the fine day never came and it's been two months the cycle was standing in a same place in damp position so I decided the fine day is today and took it to the shop today. I went to the repair shop where I usually go the shopkeeper is a grand father and I am a regular customer during my last year, as I fill air twice in a week in his shop. He questioned why he couldn't see me in his shop and I told him the story. He repaired it in a minute and asked me just 10rs. Less than a cost of tea and it took less than 2 minutes.

I was laughing at myself for my ignorance. If I could have spent this 2 minutes and 10 rs before two months, I would have enjoyed my ride and could have saved my morning time. But because of my ignorance all was in vain.

In life we sometimes complicate simple things in our brain and ignore it. But most of the time than thinking and worrying about doing it. It barely takes minutes to actually do it. I have personally experienced this now. I was feeling bad for my cycle for 2 months while the issue could have been resolved in 2 minutes.

Finally I learnt a lesson it's my choice to do it than worrying about it.

Paper Vs Glass

On my way to my stay from my college, I witness a incident which disturbed me but not anymore. There is a construction going on near my stay and the workers are migrants from other state. I occasionally meet them in the tea shop. I get tea in a glass cup which is reusable and the tea master offers them their tea in a paper cup. Come on it's 2024 but still it's an issue. Historically the caste struggle has just shifted into class struggle by the so called educated people. In a society struggle is inevitable. I can't be in a utopian state to ask for a society without any struggles. But atleast struggle should not be for the dignity, it can be for improving their standard of living for affording the luxuries. But rather the struggle is here for dignity. I am not sure how would the workers feel about drinking in a paper cup. Should we be proud that there is a discrimination only in the cup but not in the cost of the tea. The concern here is not the paper cup but behind that, th...

Is it right ?

I went to temple yesterday while returning I saw a mom and her son decently dressed, they stopped me on my way I asked her enna akka (What sis). She extended her need for money stating that because of rains her job dealing with sand lifting was stopped for days and she is in need of some money to satisfy her needs and it's tough with her son he is a boy who is 12 years old (approx.). I barely had 20 rupees in my Gpay and a currency note of 200 which I carry for emergency. I had no cash left as I spent money just before that. I felt their plead genuine so I gave the only currency note I have. I am happy that I could help them but after few steps I saw a old lady who usually sells flower outside the temple and I bought flowers for 100 before entering the temple. Contrasting this incidents I felt I did something wrong.  Like a person who worked hard to buy those flowers from the market by investing some money got 100 rupees which includes the investment and profit the profit would be ...

Punishment for being a Victim...

In this world there are certain incidents were we are punished for others action. Like us being passive smokers. My nose can't stand the smell of the cigarette I cough in a instant when someone near me takes a puff. Like this there are several incidents where most of us are not responsible for the inconveniences we face. We are not the primary stakeholders for the mischievous things that happen around us but we become victims. When we step out we feel I am not responsible for this surrounding being this dirty, the potholes in the roads, the clogged drains in the streets, people starving under bridges, the traffic getting worse, long que in the government office and what not. It's an usual routine for us being a layman witnessing all this discomforts. Whatever it is we are confident it's not always us, but forgot that it's always one among us. May be we are bit lucky, we are living in a scenario where we have water, air, food and shelter. But after some centuries I am no...
