I was lost in my thoughts sitting in a corner seat of a bus. I was deep into it that my surrounding seem very dim to my eyes. I should say, I was seeing beyond my vision. My thoughts abruptly flickered from one world to another .Anyone sitting next to me or on front may have wondered, what I was thinking so deeply, biting my fingers and lips. My eyelids were heavy with something.
I suddenly came back to this world and realized that I have dampened my skirt with a few drops of tear. I could not understand what was troubling me, is it that I am confused or is it that I am alone or is it that I am separated or that about me being guilty for my selfishness.
I was travelling into a new world that God has been repeatedly showing me in my dreams. Before I started in the bus the thoughts of separation was just like a pain in the stomach, but when I am left alone to gather my memories, its was like a hot steel rod piercing through the mind.
I wondered, if the tear rolling down my cheeks is due to the heat of the steel rod or my adrenalines causing it.
As I was nearing my destination, I had a feeling of achievement and success. The thought of being independent gave me a triumphant feeling but forgetting the reality of life is impossible.
The truth of life is to suffer and go to heaven with wounds and scars to give your testimony
Imagine a 100gm of a toothpaste tube buried in the ground. After 200 odd years, the life style of people would be completely different, then this tube may be recognized as in this story.
There lived an intelligent man living all alone in his shuttle. His head was larger than his body, his limbs were weak and fragile things, as they are not used much often. Every person living was given an area around his house to prepare his gadgets for all his purposes.
So, he dug a deep hole in the left corner of his house to plant a rod connected to a receiver to receive the electromagnetic waves. To his surprise he found a white tube with red letters reading “colgate” .He never heard this name yet it interested him. He discovered the age of the tube not by carbon dating but a more advanced technology. The white paste oozing out when pressed gave a appearance of a recipe prepared for them as their teeth are not well developed. They could only suck and swallow it to their hearts content. But this paste was too strong to eat much. He tried applying it to his hair which was very sparse. But the foam of thing made him breathless. He applied to his shoes, but the paste was too slimy to stick to it. He later used it on his face which was parched due to the environmental changes. But the paste was not as oily as to keep up the dryness of the face.
Later, by the time he realized the use of it, he was disappointed by the truth that he have no teeth to use them.
The advancement of technology has decreased the capacity of people to work. The work has been simplified to such a great extent that people became lazy to chew their food. Due to this malfunction of the teeth they gradually developed into rudimentary structures. Though the world has changed, ‘colgate’ is preserved in the soil by God to teach man the use of the teeth.
Why do people neglect small animals like lizards in houses? They are always kept at a distance than any other animal. We hear of people rearing honey bees and even cockroaches, then why not think of lizards Though I can be counted as one of them who dislike these animals the most. Yet, I feel concerned for their feelings.
Imagine a lizard family. It will be a pleasant world living in the gaps of the beds and shelves. Few days back, I was cleaning my very dirty and dusty cupboard in my leisure hours. A big lizard with two or three fresh black injuries at its abdomen. Though I know nothing about the physiology of the reptiles, I thought that it may be the eggs which caused the injury. As I was removing my books it ran this way and that way. As I also disliked its presence in my cupboard I stopped my work for a moment to give way to the upper shelf of the cupboard. I was in the last phase of my cleaning. I saw a small egg of the lizard.
Then I observed from the corner of my eye, I saw the mother worried for its baby sleeping inside the egg. I felt very sorry for its feeling. I thought the mother lizard may be praying for its baby. But, my nature and any timid human being like me cannot help the helpless mother lizard. So, I neither kept the egg on the upper shelf nor stopped my work, for the mother lizard to come inside to save its baby.
I could not bear the presence of the egg and its mother, so I shifted the eggs place. I got bored and I could not stand the suffering and also tired due to work, I stopped my work.
Then my sister completed my cleaning and swept away the small egg onto the dirt. The mother lizard would have struggled and wept but it cannot do anything. When my sister collected the dust, she crushed the small ball thinking a naphthalene ball, but it felt soft and slithering when a small lizard half inside the egg shell and other half stopped struggling.
The nurse said” let me feel your pulse”. I could read her face when she put her index finger and middle finger on my wrist bone. She was rather surprised to feel my pulse or rather my heart my was pounding within my ribs to speak out something.
I know, I love her for her simplicity, the pure soul within, the spotless and beautiful smile on her face reminded me of the angels that I would see, when I go to heaven.
I could see her strong determined gesture when she cared for the sick. The patients have full confidence in her that they always missed her in her absence.
Suddenly, I came back to the same room where she was still feeling my pulse for last two minutes and I was dreaming all this. How amazed I was by the flicker of a human mind which can fluctuate in fraction of seconds from one place to another.
