When its time for most of us to call it a day, the day begins for many at this hour. Right here at Marine Drive.
The day begins for a flower girl who gets a smile on her face after seeing the couples sitting hand-in-hand, for now she knows that its her time to earn her living. The day begins for her right then!
The day begins for an artist who hits Marine Drive at 11pm everyday. After keeping his belongings aside, he makes himself comfortable. Laying on the stretch, facing the sea, staring at the sky, he closes his eyes to let the exhaustion settle down. He takes drawing classes for kids during the day and makes live sketches for people at night. After a good 45mins nap, he calls it a morning. Grooming himself and carrying drawing sheets in his hand, he gets going to earn his share of living.
A mimic artist is thrilled to see his potential audience seated by the sea. He spots a group of people and begins an impromptu right there. While some shower genuine praises at him, the others take this as their chance of mocking him. While some offer him money, the others, like me, pray for his dream to come true. His hope begins right there!
We all are humans and yet each one of us have a different life to live. Would you trade your life to live someone else s life? Would you be happy living the life of that flower girl or the artist or that stand-up comedian? You may not want to live their life but you become a part of their life always. We all are dependent beings trying to live independent lives.
The kind of person you choose to become not only affects your life but also affects the life of people around you and that's when you become the indirect support of many who begin their day at the break of mid-night. Life has many facets to it and each human being I guess is given a part to play. Make sure you play your part well, coz now you know that you are touching lives every second just by playing your part in this life!!
Sitting here, right in the middle of nowhere, I feel blessed and grateful for my life.
Be good and continue to spread the goodness around:-)
Its amazing how God has created so many different people in this world who have their own lives to live.. Their roles... their responsibilities.. their routine.. Everyonez busy in their own life with no time to spare for others. But its more amazing how people don't realize that all our lives are linked together.. As you have so correctly put Shama..We cross paths with potential life changing people everyday not knowing we might meet them again at the next corner.. So remember.. No matter if you know the person in front of you or not.. Your single smile can touch the other person's life in a strange and magical way u can't imagine.. So jus do your thing.. play your part..
ReplyDeleteThats True! We are his creation with the ability to create something every second.. Just by being who we are:-)
