respect..

Yesterday, i was grumpy for some reason.
Most of the people in office hv gone for a vacation.. and I had to do loads of work.. Couldnt meet Samaksh coz of that! I hated it, alright!
Couldnt hv lunch. and was feeling damn hungry, all my simulations were failing... and senti songs kept playing on winamp!

sigh..

Reached home at some vague hour in the night..
No shops were open at that weird time, and I just dint hv any god damn thing to eat!
Was missing home so much , and since my thumb was paining so badly, Guess I was almost in tears when I opened the gate.. coz the Assamese boy's Dad looked at me a lil longer than required..

I came upstairs and after 5 min, the doorbell rang.
I open the door, and the Assamese boy was standing thr.. I was surely astonished.. coz we just NEVER talk! Heck! I dont even know their names!

the A boy - "you've had ur dinner?"
/me - "No. But its fine."
(I dint want to extend the conversation at ne cost ..)
the A boy - "Oh! Actually its my nephew's bday today.. Why dont u hv dinner with us tonight? Dont worry, I'll get it for you upstairs only."
/me - "You know, its ok. I am fine. I'll hv some milk and all. (although I knew there wasnt any milk in the house)
the A boy - No, your finger is hurt. I know you wont be able to cook anything. its kinda late too..I'll be back in a minute.
And he rushed downstairs, even b4 listening to what I was saying.

I came back, and left the door ajar.

After 10 minutes, he came back with a big casserole and a box of sweets, handed it over and rushed down. i coudnt even thank him..
i opened it.. it was full of some 3 diff kinda curries.. poori.. rice.. payasam.. pickle.. and what not.

i dint believe that i actually broke into tears when i saw it.. missed home so much.. n i was really touched by his concern..

ye know its always very easy and convenient to think abt one's own self and one's own comforts..
but it takes quite sthing, to be able to think abt others..

soemtimes there are ppl, whom we think we are close to. but they end up hurting us..
and soemtimes thr are ppl who hv no direct connexion with us, but they still care...
coz theres that basic respect.. yeah.. r.e.s.p.e.c.t ...
