One lazy afternoon, in college, I sat alone near the field, thinking. I was Thinking!! Being the kind which is totally oblivious of the sad and “deep” thoughts in this world, I was being a philosopher that afternoon…
I was watching a group of people from the neighbouring slums play cricket in the mid afternoon sun, blissfully unaware that on a working day, others would be working very hard, being the bread winners of their families. Students would be dug deep in their books, trying to battle with those monsters called text books!
Despite all this, these people were HAPPY. Though unemployed, they loved their lives!
It was the "educated" masses that really went through all the pain and suffering. Of course, this was a very silly thought considering the lives they can lead later on.I mean a person would rather live a happy life without any troubles and mugging up text books and just being one in the rat race...
It was a very random thought, but I decided to pen it down nevertheless!
When I used to get that thought, I used to go and play cricket. Then, Amma would come and find me a couple of hours later, and ask me to come back home - its study time sunny!
