Hapiness, Cruelity & Helplessness
Yesterday evening, wow it was a pleasant one. Pleasant ?? I was about to reach my LG's house, may be 1 more Km & it started raining. Not exactly raining, it was a storm, rather a Hail storm. The wind making its way at a speed of : i don't know, but it was blowing quite fast. To give u a measure, if anyody of u had watched a typical Indian horror movie, the director makes a desperate attempt to get ur soul out of ur body, by scaring the HELL out of u, & to do that a very intense sound of blowing wind is induced. Which eventually signifies that the BHOOT (centre of attraction of the movie) has arrived, & thats why the wind has started blowing at high speeds. If one really understood this, such was the speed of the wind.
It was quite pouring. The streets all filled up, drainages blocked, trees broken (i mean branches) & may be the wind was successful to blew off some individuals as well. So, it was quite a storm. I took shelter in one of the shops beside the road. Everyone seemed to be happy, because this would give them a bit of relief from the heat. Sometimes such events can make u see things beyond normality.
The shop in which i took shelter, had 3-4 workers. All were very happy, expecting a cool climate as a resultant of rain (The Hail Storm). But one of them was more than happy. All the time i was standing there (nearly 45 min) he was laughing. He was enjoying every moment.
Even the fall of a huge branch on somebodies car. The running water, the huge but very icy HAILS (OLLE), the droplets, the Blackish blue sky, the running people, wet birds, all washed (now green) trees, water filled streets, choked vehicles &......... He was finding joy in everything.
This made me feel how people can find happiness in such small things, & forget all there anxieties.
Apart from this happiness, i also saw a cruel part of it. When the rain stopped & i started walking towards my LG's house, though knowing the streets would be filled half my knee height (i was ready for the fun :P), i saw some people catching pegions. And i was amazed, is it really possible to catch them bare handed. This time it was. They were all wet. Soaked wings could not fly, so they were on the ground helpless. The one who were caught were to be Dinner of some. Such inhumane people could be.
I really ever understood this philosophy of "Taking Advantage Of The Helpless". Quite unethical.
And i knew i couldnt do much about it. Even i was helpless. So ,i walked, carrying a mixed feeling of hapiness, cruelity & helplessness that nature made me see.
