Sur-Prizes...

Life is full of Sur-prizes, some of them just beyond our expectations and imaginations.

Would someone have imagined meeting someone for the first time as acquaintance an hour ago and ends up becoming friends for life?? ( Like the Fevi quick bond)

Would someone selling tea in the busy streets of a small town imagined to have become the PM of the second most populous country in the world?

Would someone sitting in a private lounge of an aircraft imagined that he was going to see a heap of pyre being laid on his body to RIP few hours later?

Would a lady begging on a street imagined herself to have become a super star in the Bollywood just a few months later?

Would someone swimming on thousand rupees notes few months ago have imagined himself to mortgage his last left one BHK flat?

Well all the above incidents have happened in reality and at a great frequency. After re-reading the above situations i just ROFLed my ass out on all of those people who are greedy, who are rude, who are selfish, and eventually i laughed with a heavy heart at myself as well because- ALAS!, the society doesn't spare anybody after all!! The above adjectives aptly represents us irrespective of how uncertain our immediate futures are!

It reminds me of one of the stories that i have read as a child, where a new village entrant looks at all the other villagers running out of the village. Amused with the entire scene around him he stops one of the running mate and tries finding out why everyone was running? The villager replies- " Dear friend, i am not sure- i saw all of my other counterparts running and therefore, i am running as well.Why don't you run too!" As a matter of fact no one knew why everyone else was running.

Back then as a child i just shared the joke and laughed. Today the tears are not because i am laughing when i recall the joke. :(

AMEN.....
