Reflexions....

How often do we introspect ? Ever felt like comparing yourself with anyone else and finding out if the rationale behind seeking the ever elusive happiness is infact uncalled for . It occured to me and yes it occured strongly . An experience I wouldn't forget , maybe a normal situation but it left a huge impact on me . Saturdays as usual was spent in reading books . This time around I was reading " Maximum City" by Suketu Mehta . The book had me enthralled to the hilt . Even for a split second it didn't allow me to take off my concentration . What should I say , maybe the writer's ingenuity or the plot's charm. After reading almost 100 odd pages I put down the book and thought of catching off with some DVDs. I then scooted and got the bus to station . All through my journey I kept thinking of the various problems and how to handle them at times even wondering why god was so unkind to me ,not allowing me even a iota of what I have asked for . It was almost late night when I was returning by the same bus . The cool winds which had swept the city over the weekends had me gasping for some warmth. All of a sudden the seat adjoining to me was occupied by someone. I turned back to find that a small boy , shabbily dressed was shivering with cold . He was having something wrapped in his hands. I just kept noticing the boy as he began to open the wrapped thing in his hand.I noticed the sparkle he had in his eyes when he was opening it. It had boiled nuts in it . I said to myself , " This boy is so happy with the little he gets . To him it means the greatest source of enjoyment " . That led me to introspect and the answers which I got were just Reflexions. Reflection of my emotions .....
