Sorrows: The quickest way to learn life

Half awake throughout the night, alarm clock buzzing to get the attention and she was gazing at the lifeless images in mind.  A heavy thought which she carried all over the night blurred her vision. The morning rays were dense and puzzling, pushing her back to darkness. It was the day of commotion and demanded excessive travelling. Calls which required no response but just to confirm the presence. Many things entangled to form a perplexed picture. Feeling trapped and losing the calm every second. Her steps were tipsy and mind weaving the conversations to build a clear track. In a crowd and still alone, she lost the faith in herself and asked for help.

Anxious water drops moving down her head and hands shivering to hold a bag. She reached the metro station and took a seat to think in peace. An old man sitting next to her and observing her moves. He saw her shedding tears and hiding her face to get unnoticed. She could feel the old eyes keenly observing her. She wiped her face and sat straight but still lost in her puzzles. Suddenly the old man shouted the words printed on the banner,’Delhi Metro, The fastest way to travel’ and Sorrows the quickest way to learn life. He put his hand on her head and said to her, you will learn soon. She was shocked as the prayer got answered in no time. The old man stood up, gave her a smile and moved out. He took away all her worries and stress and the day was a win for her. There is meaning to every problem we have in life, rather than crying over it, face it with will and win it.
