The flower that blooms in the morning and fades in the evening isn’t
really bothered about how long it lives. A bird that flies freely in the
sky or the fish that swims without worry, hardly thinks what and how of
tomorrow. We are human beings. How can we be like them…!I was terribly tired, as I was moving from house to house, to learn the life of simple poor people of rural areas. Gowrenahalli, one of the poor villages in Anekal, Bangalore, was the place I was in for 20 days of exposure, as a requirement for my studies. Moving from house to house and listening to the stories of their lives, of their pains and struggles, of their unfulfilled dreams and aspirations, was truly a unique experience that would remain in my mind for long. One thing that I kept repeating, whenever I met someone who was struggling, ‘these things will pass away; their life situation would change…’ In return they thanked me for the hope I assured them and appreciated me saying, “You must be a man of deep faith.” Heart to heart, I was feeling happy, as my ego was getting boosted up.
