A memoir.

AN EXTRAORDINARY ORDINARY JOURNEY.
































Closing the eyes and focusing a single minute in a noisy bus when its chaotically full and filled with cacophony seems impossible. My consciousness was chastising me and i felt weird. The storm outside was competing with the people inside. The blurry moist front glass of bus looked like the perpetually broad French window to gaze the world. Those crystal blue eyes were calm and reckless, totally oblivious to everything! That 3 and a half foot little soul observed everything that we missed (nevertheless I felt it).He watched the bugs browse through the glass, opened his mouth in amazement when he saw the over flowing river is almost touching the bridge. He grinned when those little drops from the umbrella hit his face..By the time the only thing I could do was getting annoyed by the haphazard sounds of bus and people. I kind of envied him. It was then i heard from his mother who was sitting nearby the little lad that the boy was born oblivious to the chaotic world or he is deaf and dumb. Obviously the enormous sympathetic looks fell on him but never mine’s. He never bothered. I felt he is blessed because he listens with his heart, see with his soul and talks with his eyes. Why we need our ears, eyes and tongue if we don’t ‘listen’, ‘see' and 'talk'??

THE WORLD IS IN CHAOS AMIGOS!!!!!
