Patience

Ok I seriously dont get the real, actual meaning of this..
All I have understood from my life is Having patience means taking more of shit from everyone with a smile on your face.. Yeah that is literally what it means..
To be happy and peaceful we need to have lots of patience and the best way not to have your patience tested is by being with your self and loving your self and avoiding the rest as much as you can. This is what comes out of my conked up head right now!

My First cup of Tea!!


Whatever time I wake up however busy my day has to be, one thing I ensure to refresh and reawaken my senses is to have my first cup of tea in my balcony on 8th floor. The cool breeze has definitely some great effect on me.
I see an empty ground right beside my house, where I can get to see lot of people, cows, sheep and many more. My concentration though is never on this empty space as I believe in looking beyond that to reach out to the morning clouds which give you lot of peace and lot of time to think positive about my day. I avoid seeing people for obvious reasons, its the time for my own self, for my own imagination and for my clarity of the day. I also avoid them for an ugly truth. Most people come there for nature calls early morning. I cant blame them as they are poor laborers or those kinds who cannot afford a proper toilet. Imagine a huge apartment with thousands of people in it who can face this ground and see whats happening. But still these guys have no choice :( And for this am not sure who all to blame.

My eyes fell on 2 little kids walking into this space, a boy around 6-7 and the girl around 3-4 yrs. I thought they were brother and sister going for their early morning task. I could not take my eyes off them for some reason. Later I saw they were roaming all around this big space while I waited them to settle down for their task :)

That tiny girl was running behind her brother while she found some kind of a huge plastic sheet or something. She was picking it up while her brother came and snatched it from her, bent it so he could easily carry it and he started running out of the ground. The tiny girl seemed angry, crying and was trying to thrash her brother. She followed him and on the way picked up some more tiny plastic sheets. I assume its a plastic sheet seeing from such a far distance.
Both of them ran, happily (I felt so), out of the ground and kept walking till I actually lost sight of them.
The open ground















What do you think they were upto? why do you think they picked up that sheet? Why would they even fight for that petty plastic sheet? what would it fetch them?

I kept thinking for a long time and felt may be they would sell it for 5 rs or so. May be they were trying to earn some money, help their parents or may be they were forced out of the house by their parents to go make their own earnings and hence the fight.
My thoughts were endless and my imagination was unstoppable. I was jittery, i felt I should have chased them to see what they were upto. End of it I was sad thinking of 2 tiny kids fighting for something so worthless in our dictionary, who should ideally be sleeping on their comfortable beds that early in the morning. Tears rolled down, I wiped them and felt that I learnt some lesson out of this incident.
And now with my first cup of tea I wish to see these kids around. This time may be I will chase them, probably offer them some good breakfast with me :)

Lessons are many to learn in life but how open we are to learning is what matters. My first cup of tea that day had turned out to be a learning session for me!!
