Today was a bit different. As I started off to my office this morning, I stopped near a tea stall ("tapari", a local word) for a cup of tea. As I had my snack and tea standing there on the street, this man, the vendor smiled and asked in local language, "Sir, are you from IBM?? " I told him that I'm working for another company. He continued to tell me his son's qualification and plans for his higher studies. He asked for advise whether he should go for MCA or MCS. As I started speaking to him, I realized that this man has got a great dream for his son, though poor.
And there...!! I could see the shine in his eyes, that of a ten year old. Indeed I was so happy for him and his son to have such a wonderful dad.
In the end, I wished him good luck and continued toward my office to start off my hectic day. And I reallized...."Life is so BEAUtiful". Its not about life being cruel with hectic and stressful schedules but being beautiful in realizing that life is so beyond our silly worries and short-term stress...
