The day I can’t forget never ever. The day I won’t be able
to forget never ever. The day which I can’t forgot never ever. When we were
building our own house, the day the time I won’t forget. After so many clashes,
difference of opinions, financial problems finally we decided to eradicate our
house & reconstruct on same land. Housing loan was denied but we were confident
to arrange money on self. We invested our monthly salaries in house
construction, we broke our fixed deposits, insurance bonus plans, saving schemes,
and father took loan against his provident fund & from co-operative society
at higher rate. We all were happy that we would be having recurring money
inflow for ongoing construction activity which would continue for more than a
year. Simultaneously different activities were taking place at pace & more
than that financial outflow was at pace. There were labors who were working all
day in high cold; high sunlight - for them I would feel petty. They would earn
daily wages, a day they missed they won’t get wages how sad on their part. On other
hand even if we would take 10 days leave we get same pay. This difference we
experience daily which makes us sad but forget within seconds after indulging into
our own activities. Every evening we would be preparing tea for our labors, one
day we were short of sugar I went to nearby shop, at same time a construction
labor from another housing site came & asked Chini kitne ki hai” How much
sugar cost? Shopkeeper said Rs 32/Kg. Labor thought for 5-6 seconds & then
said give only half a kg. This is the pain this is the day which is holding
high in my mind. A person has to give thought to spend such nominal amount.
This we experience everyday on street on beggar’s faces but when I realized it
with one who is earning & not able to spend, it gave very bad feeling. This
incident happened fifteen months ago but still it’s on my mind. This gave me realization
of how high food inflation is & how low is income of people. On one side we were spending millions of
money for our comfort & on other side people were facing sadness,
discomfort, hunger. Whenever, this event strikes on mind it gives a pause to my
life to my ongoing activities.
THAT DAY THAT TIME this is what I call BEAUTY
OF LIFE
