Learn to learn not to earn.

We all have been nurtured or brought up in someway to earn a degree, get a job and a good salary. Nobody's parents ever taught us to learn. They just sent us to schools where the book was taught. Not saying, it wasn't good but it just wasn't enough. It was good to earn a degree not to learn about life and humanity. Also, I'm not blaming anything. Just complaining like every other human who would think like me. We all learnt in our kindergarten to not spill litter around but still 99% of us are found throwing the garbage around when we're out. I'm glad I'm one of the 1% who don't. Moreover, I even take the initiative to stop people from doing it.
This is the incident of a few days ago, when I was travelling in the train and a kid and her mother were off to the kid's school. His mother gave a banana to keep him healthy and was actually lecturing everyone around to make their kids eat it. As soon as he finished eating it, he asked his mother whether where should he throw its peel and the mother instantly pointed outside the window of the train. The boy obeyed her and threw it out. As soon as he was done with his job, I made him sit beside me and asked him if he was taught to spill litter around in the school. He replied negatively and the mother looked at me realizing what she had just done. I could see her realizing and she apologized me. All I could do was thank her that she realized otherwise there are people who backfire me with those annoying looks for I don't know what. I was glad to have been met them. The boy was really young but I was astonished when he told me,"The next time my mummy tells me to throw the garbage outside, I won't, pakka didi." I smiled back and pecked the cute innocent kid.
The point is we can all change if we choose it. It's obviously our own choice but we still never really take the initative and survive always the way we do.
Also, if you think where we should throw the garbage when we're in the train or something, I'd suggest you wait till the station arrives and there are obviously trash bins there. Go ahead! Do a good job and pat yourself!
Education teaches us a lot, we just have to grasp the little things out of it rather than just focusing on the one that earns us a degree and gets us a job with a good salary.

The incident.

Every other day there are thousands of 'women' and 'men' travelling by the Mumbai Local trains, up and down, day and night. I particularly mention women and men separately because it's not the same for both the genders.

So this last week I was, as usual, going home from work and walking my way through those over crowded bridges connecting platforms in the "peak hours". Suddenly, I found a man too old to be called young, trying to harass a girl walking beside me. She was hardly fifteen. I could sense it after seeing her getting uncomfortable and putting her bag in every way she could protect herself from that man. I was noticing it all and I'm very sure there were others too, watching it all and still as silent as 'humans' always are.
The way he was trying to touch her was horrible. I broke my anger and shouted at him, "uncle, khud ko control karo nahi toh gaand pe laat padegi". I'm glad a few men came ahead and started to beat him up. As soon as we reached the last stair, there was police. Phew! We complained them about him and then he was all theirs. I'm also glad the police didn't say,"FIR likhwana padega madam. Hum isey kuch nahi kar sakte abhi." There was a past incident where this actually happened and I expected this again but glad it didn't. The man was under their custody after getting beaten up by the public.
All my eyes were happy to see is that girl coming to me with a smile and thanking me and in reply I told her to make a start if something like this happens again. The rest will be taken over by the crowd of real men. She smiled back.

Imaginations.

Imaginations can be as good as real and as bad as a disaster. They can turn life into a bliss or make it downright difficult. The better the imagination, the more beautiful its effects. The horrible the imagination, the more horrifying its effects. The point is we can control it. The point is we know how to control it. The point is we control it. The point is we decide how good or bad, beautiful or dangerous, bliss or disaster they are or can be. However, we instead choose to not use this superpower and imagine what others imagine who are mostly negative at their par. Sad but true. The breathtaking fact is good imaginations lead to positive thinking which automatically turn into a bright reality while the bad ones, their exact opposite. We are leading ourselves and our imaginations. One must not forget that. Keep imagining!

The inside.

So, working at Mcdonald's is an easy job. Saying "Namasté, Welcome to McDonald's" is easy? It's not. Well, I'm just kidding, it's very easy. Atleast if you say it for like, five times. But what if you do that for five times in ten minutes? Hard. Hectic. Moreover, to people who don't even care to smile back. Discouraging at times but soothing when atleast one out of the ten smile back at you. Nevertheless, you still have to have that smile all the way to your cheeks because it's your job. As a matter of fact, it just seems easy while the ones doing it break every nerve and muscle of their face to do that for ten hours with short breaks. Sweet.

P.S. Smile back to those humans. Thank you.

Miles between us...

Miles between us and I still see you,

Skies separating us and I still feel you,

For distance is between us and not our hearts,

Let alone go all the other parts,

It hurts to hurt you and I now know why,

Because while I have your heart you have mine,

I'm glad it's that way for I can't have you hurt,

I know it's me even when I don't want to be,

I don't know why, I can hear me cry,

I thought I was evil but you turned it round,

Because at the end, I had you surround.

Judgments

Judgments should only last inside the four walls of a legitimate court. What do we gain by judging outside anyways? We get nothing but false responses, negative reactions, hatred and all the bullshit that comes along. The point is when there's no point in judging, why do it? At the end of the day, it's giving you nothing at all. Moreover, sometimes they're all vague and hazy. You're anyway not sure about you're judging is right or downright wrong or whether it even matters to somebody. Even if it doesn't matter to some, it surely does to a few and that is what causes drama in the person's life who you're judging as wrong. When judgments are right, you're on a safe side but if they happen to go wrong, you automatically form an opaque wall between the one you judged wrong and yourself. What'd you gain out of this now? NOTHING. And you still repeatedly continue to do it. I can say you're just a fool in disguise of a human. Now when I judged you in the very last sentence of mine, how did you feel? Judged? Negatively? You should, because that's exactly what you've been doing to people around you no matter who they are. The ground reality is judging will give you nothing but make a negative environment around you. Also, when you're gaining absolutely nothing, how about cutting it out of your life? Just leave it to the people themselves. You anyway need not be involved. Be wise enough to understand that. The choice is always yours.
