It was touching. Two Pakistani children in the neighbourhood knocked on the door, “We are moving off to Abu Dhabi,” they said with a twinkle in their eyes. So sweet. My daughter used to be the ring leader among kids and they had a strong, affectionate network.
“Take care and remember me,” I told the baby boy thrusting a chocolate in his hands.
“Insha Allah,” the boy replied.
During tea session, I told my colleague it’s surprising that love transcends all barriers and brings heaven on earth. Yet, humans refuse to accept the reality.
I also told him a wonderful line I read on the Net.
An old man was always happy. When asked how, he replied: “I have learnt to collaborate with the inevitable.”
Just to add a joke by my colleague:
What's happiness? she asked.
"Dunno, got married early," he replied.
BTW, I clicked a photo of beautiful flowers at my office corridor with NokiaN70 cellphone gifted to me by my great grandpa’s great grandpa. Famous blogger Mridula, hope you are not listening.
Granpa's gift? It should be Nokia "1970" :)
ReplyDeleteGrrr.. "got married early"!! Why is that out of the entire thing I noticed this line first???!!! I need to learn to collaborate with the inevitable i guess :P
ReplyDeletecorrect!learning to collaborate with the inevitable simply put is acceptance. and that is the key to happiness.nice flowers btw.

Your friend will surely get a beating from his spouse :)
lovely flowers, but thats not a coridoor, seems like wide open space to me. Kids are really the only source of pure joy!
ReplyDeleteYou have all the potentials of another happy 'old man!
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary Ramesh, I liked the picture a lot! Flowers are a good subject they do not create too much fuss, unlike birds!
ReplyDeleteOnce again lovely picture. I knew you just needed more encouragement N70 is not that bad a phone.
Collaborate with the inevitable. Hmmm.. interesting thought since I am fighting the inevitable these days.
ReplyDeleteWell Ramesh true but hard to accept:)
ReplyDeleteFlowers are always great for a shot !!!

ReplyDeleteGood piece of writing and this line is so true - "love transcends all barriers and brings heaven on earth".
ReplyDeleteWell, bout your phone, is your great grandpa’s great grandpa - Alexander Graham Bell??
Isn't it interesting to note that we may love our neighbors while living in India. But, we are more forgiving when we start living abroad!
