I don't want to become famous.
Neither I dream about the '21 bedrooms+pool+lawn' bungalow, nor love the
golden coins sound-flow. I don't want to proof anything ... though just want to
share something.
Hi.. I am Nitish Katiyar,
a Bachelor not by choice! , an Engineer by mistake! , Confused by complex
life! However insane but pure-hearted Youth!
I am not professional writer as
my vocab is limited and grammar sucks. I don't participate ever as I treat
blogging very much personal. However I put my pen down whenever I feel to write
and tonight at 4 AM, I am getting that crazy feels again.
After completion of Bachelors
in Engineering during the worst recession span in 2009, I
was jobless for almost 8 Months. I had finally started with
a small 'SMS Bulk selling firm' on monthly gross of 4K. I worked only 18 days
there and left the organization because my brother was relocated to
Gurgaon. Company person consoled me that I will get my calculated salary on 1st
of next month only. I acted accordingly and reached the office on 1st morning.
And I still remember that one
way communication:
Company person "Take this
1000 bucks for all and leave the place."
I resisted "Sir, total
amount should be Rs.2200."
And then the final verdict
"Agree with 1000 bucks else you will lose even this."
It was my first ever salary and
I got to face the other side of the world as well. However I was in rage but
majorly was in need. I accepted that one thousand rupee note and left the
office.
While waiting for the bus to
home, all the past hour events were processing in my mind. Suddenly a small 6-7
years old child came to me and asked for the money. Poor small beggar!!
He requested me again and again
"Only 5 Rs ... Please."
I asked "What will you do
with 5 bucks?"
He replied "Will have some
food."
I looked around and told him
"Let' go and have whatever you want to eat."
But also conditioned “Eat to
you full limit however you will not beg at least for the day."
He agreed and we visited almost
3-4 food-stalls from Paratha Roll to Bhelpuri followed
by Chowmein and Chaat. I also parcelled the food for his mom on his
additional demands. I spend quarter of my 1000Rs balance on him that day.
I can see
the happiness on his face and same was reflecting on my face too.
It was not because of the help
which I have offered.
It was because of the reason.
That day I realized, my struggle is not the biggest struggle. I
was learning life lessons from that small kid who was worried about
his mom even on that phase. We both worked for each-other at that
moment and we both were happy now.
I purchased toys and games for
my nephew and niece from the remaining balance and took the bus to
the home. I was happy and I made someone Happy.
I had gone through with
two different side of the practical world within an hour.
And I perceived one great
learning that day:
"Happiness is ...
just an Inside Job!"
Be Happy!! Be Crazzyyy!!
