It was a hectic day. Full of tiring activities at office, escalations, calls, emails, trying to explain that it was not our fault.
I left office with the same bad mood, only to find a huge traffic jam starting from the office gate. My anger increased when I saw how people were trying to pull their cars, 2 wheelers from wrong side etc trying to reach home fast. But they were actually adding to the chaos which could not be solved by anyone.
The traffic was moving very slow. I switched on the radio. They also were ready to worsen my mood. No songs only advertisements. Only if they would have played one good song, I would have felt better. Music is a very good healer of stress and pain is what I have heard. I have also experienced this at times. When I feel low or tired and if I am alone at home, I switch on the favourite songs collection in my cell phone on a considerable high volume and it really eases out the troubles.
But the last hope to feel good was also gone.
With no choice I kept dragging my car inch by inch. Just then I happened to see into the car next to mine. A small girl was sitting in the back seat looking at me. It occurred to me that she must be looking at me from quite some time when I was carrying extremely bad expressions on my face. As I looked at her she instantly smiled at me. That one smile was enough to heal my entire bad day experiences. I smiled back and the happiness on her face was extraordinary. She started jumping in the car and started waving at me and I waved back to her. I did not know her neither did she know me, but the small moment of joy she gave me is with me till now. I think it will never go as I have kept it as a treasure in my memories .Sometimes kids or even people younger to us teach us big lessons in life.
She taught me to let go...let go the bad and troubled day experience and enjoy the present. She taught me that it does not need to know each other to share happiness. The innocence on her face was beautiful. After that day each day’s ride to and fro office was enjoyable for me. I tried to find my own ways to spend that time. Bought new music CDs and listened to them all. Few of them again and again.
Life is full of ups and downs, I agree. Lots of things happen in our lives which pull us down. We loose confidence and start living an unhappy life. But it is we who can change the state of life we live in. Why should be allow some bad moment in past to spoil the entire beautiful moments in present and those we can have in future? It is rightly said that when going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Moral :
Let’s try to rejoice every moment of life. Treat every moment as special and do something that will make us and other happy and spread happiness daily with our everlasting smiles!
