THE BUMP(Anandita Das) Today morning when I left home for my job I took the day as to be a very normal day.Till that time everything was going usual.During office time to catch a local train is always very tiresome.I always feel that people have lost there touch of heart now a days.I was hurrying to the platform as my train was already been announced,and suddenly a BUMP!"God can't u see" i exclaimed with rage.I went on saying many things while trying to collect my belonging that fell from my hands as the result of that bash.I rushed for my train and felt very annoyed as i missed it.
Needless to say ,this small incident in the morning changed the whole days approach.I returned home feeling very tired.The innocent smile on my sons face as he greeted me home was the first beautiful thing since morning.I felt rejuvenated and happy.Unconsciously I found myself relating the mornings incident to my family with utmost displeasure.
For the first time throughout the day i realized that I might have overreacted and that it was really a very insignificant incident and cannot be an action of intentional behavior from the other side.For the first time I felt sorry for that man who made the mistake of bumping with me in the morning.I had been cursing him the whole day for reasons which actually might have harmed him as well in some manner or other.I remembered that he was actually trying to help me get hold of my stuffs and even might have tried to say sorry.I tried to recollect his looks but I could not.
I laughed at myself as i literally lived with this stranger virtually the whole day.I prayed for forgiveness from my almighty for cursing a person so badly and peacefully felt asleep.
I was feeling good that I realized my fault.It is now easy for me to widen my vision and see the beauty of life.This small incident ,has helped me to reinvent myself and understand where I stand.Changes are to be made within ourselves before trying to point out faults on others.Small realizations and changes make the earth a better place to live at.Everyone has a reason better known to him or her and the almighty for the action done by them.Being judgmental is not correct as we see only one side and come to a
conclusion.Surely we are becoming less tolerable and more self centered every time we jump into a conclusion without the right considerations.
Lets be happy and more positive in our approach towards our life.Its undoubtedly a beautiful journey and lets try to be even more beautiful as the passengers of this journey of life .
