Random Thoughts - Simple Everyday Lessons - 2

Beauty Lies Internally !

Happened to see a lady in the office rest room one morning. It was around 9AM in the morning, roughly 30 mins after a typical day generally begins at office. She came with a huge kit and I was wondering what she was doing. She started off a whole make over session. Just thinking about what she was doing, I went back to work. Couple of hours later, I saw her again repeating the whole procedure again. I realized it was a routine ting for her, to keep herself neat, fresh and "beautiful" every couple of hours. This became a constant visual treat to me. One fine day, I was late to start from office. I had to take a BMTC bus and was hence walking towards the bus stop. While I just got out of the office campus, I saw her (as fresh as she could be in the morning) waiting outside for someone. I got into a bus and was waiting in a traffic signal. There was a card next to the bus and the same lady was in it. A physically challenged person was trying to move towards the vehicle. He was basically a beggar trying to get something from the folks to eat for the day. The card windows that were open till that moment instantly went up on seeing him and the face that was made up so beautifully all through the day , suddenly turned disgusting!

Seeing this a wonderful quote stuck my head "BEAUTY LIES INSIDE U , DON'T LOOK FOR IT OUTSIDE"

Self Consciousness and Environmental Awareness!

It was a typical weekday morning. Was hurrying to take the shuttle at 8AM. Was walking out of the house towards the main road. There are a plenty of independent houses in ou colony and most of them have a dog(in the real sense of it). Most of the times, I get irritated when I see a dog bark or litter around on the streets going behind people. In fact most of the times, it has been a painful thing to bear when all of them in the colony get together to share their happiness or sorrow. The owners, most of them I have seen, have the habit of taking their dogs for a morning walk. They eat what they find interesting to them on the roads and answer Nature's call. I saw this dog in our street on that morning, walking with his owner. He saw a cover in the middle of the road and very neatly used it for his nature's call. Was astonished for a moment, but quickly understood how sensible the five sensed could get. Each of us should try to learn the simplest of things from the smallest of incidents that happen in everyday life ! Have a great day!
