The Lotus!

The world is so busy... It's filled with all chaotic things on earth. It's too difficult to recollect any thing that happened more than a week back. We forget the vendor who sold us sweet ripe fruits the other day. We get up in the morning as a big competitor. Competitor as in what?!?!! :) yeah what else?, to cook good in time, that too identify the items that the kids would rather not discard in their boxes when back home, cook something nice and satisfactory for our dear husbands who are busy with their meeting calendars.

Ladies busy with true cooking and office works, men occupied by the official schedule , the pain of getting to office on time, etc.... We run to complete our works in time, run to just be done with our works, run to get the groceries. And veggies, we run to find that moment when we are done and can just pause for a while... But hmm that's close to some miracle happening..

little do we put our minds yo what we do, what we talk, it's become very common about arguments and fights, abuses, venting out physically and verbally, think that we all do great work and manage to do many things and have a superiority complex and a big ego...thinking that we are dolls on the gopuram(temple tower), that bears the gopuram. Little do we know that the gopuram bears the dolls.

Likewise the world bears us and is flexible enough to allow our circus with its Sophistications. We keep thinking that we are great doing many things and we hardly know how good we really are. We woulda have put all our skills to cook a healthy meal, that would have left our lil ones feeling like it was something that is anew invention that is devoid of taste. We would have skillfully coined a reply mail and would have sent it to a group if people that would have contained the ones not intended to receive them. We would have promptly cleaned the home and wouldn't have noticed that our cleaning would have left some dust in the balconies of the lower floor flat.

There are a few people who differ in this chaotic world. The vendor who picks out one of the rotten veggies you had chosen; the druggist who gently reminded you to avoid a banned drug and suggested a better one, the doctor who shared dome good lifestyle changes instead of writing a big list to fill his pharmacy cash counter;the conductor who promptly gives you back the change in a jam packed bus....

They all stand out... As a lotus in the dirty pond, while the others swim like mosquito larvae thinking they are gold fish beautifying the pond, while the real ones put their mind and heart in doing a Work more meaningfully and thus making this world worth living.

Let's stop running and start living.

The Lotus!
