Those kids I tell ya !!

It was one of those cheerful days in office. Everything went perfectly well, no issues, no escalations, it was like one of those perfect days in office where everything goes as planned. Nothing at all that could really pass off as strange or out of place. I have always wished for such days. All this until I realised, one idiot had other plans.

In a fit of rage, I left office early that day. I just couldn't stand him and my blood was literally boiling from inside. What does he think of himself? All abuses, hatred, aah damn, what business he has in spoiling my mood? I was walking at the train station all dejected and absolutely disgusted of whatever had happened. Correction, I was not just walking, but storming along.

Thud, I bumped into a young kid in school uniform, obviously from school. Heck, this God damn city has so many people, can't I even bloody walk in peace without having to dodge people, or more like specs, there are so many of them!! I stared at him with anger and moved on, while still looking behind and Bang, there I go again. This time a bunch of them, same uniform, same school. Back Off!!

I stormed ahead, without the slightest of regrets of having hurt one of them, if at all I did. I reached where I had to, and the freaking train had not yet arrived. I was panting, and sweating like a pig. I stood there, not far away from those bunch of school kids. I noticed, they all were smiling and chatting. Should be about me, I assumed, what better thing to laugh about for them than a stupid lean man crashing into them on a busy Monday evening at a train station?

I noticed the train was no where in sight, I got a bit curious to know what those kids are talking and laughing about, which forced me to go close to them. I was still fuming, and irritated to the highest level of tolerance. As soon as I got there, I got the rudest shock of my life. I just stood there is shock, my eyes glued to those kids. They were all mute.

What on earth is wrong with me? I am getting mad at a bunch of school going kids, who can't speak, talk in sign language, and seem to be poor. Look at them, they are so helpless and yet so happy, they are having fun here, enjoying every bit of what life has to offer. And here I am, with much better facilities than them, and still complaining about every single thing. Work, boss, love, friends, money, time, study, marks, and what not. Everything gives stress, everything is so not easy for me. There is so much struggle. And look at them, they have twice as many problems than me, but yet smiling as if to suggest they have all the blessings in life.

That day taught me a very good lesson. Blessings are with everyone, its just a matter of realising you have it all, and making the most of what you have. These kids are mute, they don't have the most basic thing and yet they have so much in life. They have a beautiful smile, a big heart, a selfless attitude and most of all indestructible determination. Hats off!!

My heart melted, and I kept staring at them, as all my hatred and anger and whatever that had happened, had vanished from me. These bunch of kids have so much energy in them, so much positive energy, that the world around them changes for good. They have the power to change the world around them. They just did that, its proof enough.

I went back happy, happy to have come across little angels. The best thing that anyone can do is bring a smile to someone's face, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Life is all about being happy, and making others happy.

Those kids I tell ya!! :)
