"Oye! Its Saturday today" was the first thought that came to my mind in the morning and I woke up with a smile. Had a very peaceful day – I’d say one of the best Saturday’s in the last couple of weeks.
Thoughts – they come & go and leave something behind for you to ponder over them forever. I love to sit on the floor, open the almirah and take out our photo albums and then remember all our childhood days, those special functions and laughing at every posture of my siblings, family, my friends and yes (I must admit) of mysef. God, I used to look so funny. Time just flies away – today I’m capable of doing many things, I’ve responsibilites to handle, my words matter a lot and then I’ve my dreams, aims and a life to live…
I wanted to become an astronaut at some point of time and after watching one Discovery channel’s hoarding today on my way back – that thought cropped up again. I really dream of seeing earth from a distance and then look around all the stars from space (not by staying on earth atleast). NDTV good times is a nice channel and they showed some beautiful places in Kerala today – I love watching nature and so I’d visit it soon. I also want to go on a cruise some day – a big cruise – travelling for atleast a month. That would be so nice – only water beneath and sky on the top….awesome Rupinder! Well, this list is endless but I’ll keep adding to it – my bucket list :)
At the same time, I feel myself to be responsible enough to aid people in need. Not exactly related to this aim of mine ….but last Sunday I went to the railway station for some work. It was early morning and mum asked me to wait for some time (45 mins ….that was not “some” …grrr). Anyways….I tried to pass my time looking at the local people there. I could spot one beggar in my front mirror and I watched him for 10-15 mins. He was perfectly normal but he sat on the road and moved his right hand up to pretend like a retarded person. Gosh…my face turned just like the “surprise” emoticon of Yahoo Messenger. It was 7-7:15 am and people were opening their shops, cleaning the surroundings. I really liked to be a part of them that day!
Then the news channels (talking about the recent Mumbai attacks) – they all urge me to become an army personnel. I salute our Army from the bottom of my heart…losing your “LIFE” for someone else is such a genuine, a noble and a courageous act. I really do not understand what takes a 21 yrs old man to become a terrorist but I do understand and respect the spirit of a 31 yrs old man to give his life for the people of his nation. Hats off to you all - who fought for us, who protected us and who still stand like a wall surrounding us for our safety.
And then last but not the least I think of finishing all my responsibilities successfully.
Amen!
