So I am officially on my month long vacation, waiting for my partner to come home. And while I cannot think of anything better to do I would just write about my short drive to the grocery store about a mile away.
I live on probably one of the only green patch on Bombay land so it is always fun to drive, especially if it is just a short distance. So I hopped into the car and vrhoooom I went, taking in all the beauty that nature had to offer and ignoring the poor people who reside outside our campus. I see them everyday on my way to work and back so I am over with feeling sorry for them, and wondering how would they be feeling under the hot sun while I sat in the airconditioned car. Living in the same world and yet so world apart. But when I think about it deeply I feel probably most of them would be much happier than most of the rich people I know.
Anyway, I reached the place and carefully parked the car under a huge tree. While I was walking towards this tiny shop, a man who looked troubled stopped me. I was not sure what he was saying cause sometimes it is difficult to understand them even if they speak the same language. I looked towards where he was pointing and wow!! I saw a
FLAT tyre fitted to the car which seemed too familiar for comfort. So I turned around to the man and said - Yes I have a flat tyre, thanked him and smiled.
And surprisingly rather than getting hassled I just turned around casually to my right and guess what I saw?! A mechanic shop which I never knew existed before this time ...even after living in this area for more than a year. It could be my
bad observation or my ability to overlook
things I don't want to look at...but gosh! how lucky can I get?!
Not only did he fix the tyre but also fixed one other problem I have been facing for few weeks with the car. So here I am now - back home watching TV and thinking that when things happen to us which we might consider bad may not necessarily be bad.Who knows where it might lead us. These events got to be a necessary part of the plan which we may not know. And looking back with this perspective in mind, I feel even if I was given a power to change all - bad - things that have happened to me in my life ...I would not change even one. Cause then I would not have learned what I have or would have never grown or be who I am now.
Ooooookay...now that's too deep a thought for a flat tyre.
