Z - 'I LOVE ZOOMING!'

He was the child who a year back knew only one meaning to the two-word concept which his mom had taught him.. 

"Say 'MUMMY UP' when you want to be carried!" 

And as on that day when his Mom squarely refused to carry him saying that he should walk, the Little One looked at his grandpa by the side and asked him.. "MUMMY UP!"

At that age when the Little boy on a day, walked ahead a bit and as the Mom said, 

"Dear! Come back!"

Smartly started stepping back on his tiny feet..

It was the same age when playing the traffic police game on his tri-cycle with his grand mom, as the elderly lady questioned her grand child with all sweetness why he jumped the signal, he looked at her for a sec and with a broad smile started jumping up and down on the tri-cycle seat..

Such a naughty Little Kid growing up fast in the land far away from Mother Land on a day had to re-position himself on the newly purchased front facing car seat as his age permitted that 180 deg turn..

The cute Little One with a smile quickly entered the car as his Mom guided him and made him sit in the new seat. She in a short time familiarized herself with the fastening mechanism, put on the belt over her kid and secured it firmly..

The car moved on. The family was silent. The Dad's thoughts were on how make up the extra expenditure incurred in buying the new seat while the Mom was busy observing the child by bending a few times forward and checking that all was well with him..

But the happening was totally different for the Little One. From the monotonous earlier backward position having no reference to the movement of traffic and surroundings, it was simply turning half round facing the front..

The straight on-coming vehicles passing fast by the side of the car, the zooming road in front moving up towards the vehicle, a stream of flashing lights coming on eternally, big buildings and huge trees on the road side rushing past the vehicle and seen going over the windows on both sides and the traffic signals changing alternately with beautiful colors..

Red, yellow and green.. 

An entirely different world in front!

The Kid was highly excited. And it was really a 'Sea of change' to his 'Freedom of Observation!' There was an instant inexplicable smile on the Little One's face. He quickly understood, when his car would stop and move as the signals coming up on the way changed in sequence..

Soon, the vehicle was at a red signal and all were silent including the Boy in his car seat.. And the count down started.. 4,3,2,1.. Yes.. The red changed to green and the dad began pedaling the accelerator..

“Faster!”

Yelled the Little One so happily to the astonishment of both the parents, the only single word he knew at that point of time whenever he had to say, 

“Come on! Go!”

With the explicit joy so clearly seen on his face as if a 'lost Kingdom' was got back!

Y - FOR A WHILE, LET ME STOP 'YAWNING'' AND

• Try doing my basic works myself as my body parts are originally meant to do those works keeping me fit and fine even though I may easily buy those services ever upholding the Saying..

April showers bring May flowers!

• Not try buying unnecessary items saying, 'It's a throw away price!' without knowing well that the seller indirectly is trying to throw away those items to me reducing own burden and equally remembering the oft repeated Saying..

If you start buying items you don't need, soon you would be selling items to buy the items you need!

• Not visit the luxury places beyond my means as that sure becomes routine and I would invariably be searching for super luxuries making me accept the fact..

Habits die hard!

• See am aware of the 'Silent Earning Members' by my side Viz., the health and safety measures and take the required care therein as..

Health is nothing when it's there and everything else is nothing when not there! 

And

Accidents often happen only once in life!

Not quickly say that life is 'fantastic' instead say, ‘to be lived through’ as the 'Humility' with me forever straightens me and puts me on the right track as often..

When music changes, dance too!

• Keep track of major finances of my own, incoming and outgoing by a physical 'note-down' as..

A lakh has one hundred thousands only; not a single more!

• Follow the basics of my original discipline that had brought me to this day's prosperity as my past, sure needs at least that much recognition upholding the famous Saying..

No pains; no gains!

• Not relax extra because of my present prosperity but do more as the 'evil pride' with me soon can make this fort of prosperity go into history books permanently upholding the Saying..

Pride goes before fall!

• Grow my finances at a moderate pace and never chase them as there's no 'super rich' concept anywhere in such a scenario except in my mind well remembering that..

Grass does not grow faster if you pull it!

• Involve deep into the family life and the same is the sure way of myself growing inward thru' a dedicated service to family as..

There is no place like home!

• See am getting reasonable stamped approved social behavior as majority of the society are bound by orderly behavior myself equally knowing well that the wrong is to be questioned but always thru' proper channels and here forever..

A patient man eats ripe fruit!

• See am having ever a feeling of being watched by law keepers as the long arm of law is always powerful, it never leaves one who deviates and in such a scenario..

Better bread with water than cake with trouble!

• Express through one of the famous Arts broadly defined in books as that expression is the gist of my life and I shouldn't kill it and become rotten as is well known that..

A bird sings not to reply but a song!

• Be ever ready to spend a percent of my income and energies beyond the basic need to help out the less privileged as they too are part of His Creation who okay-ed my success making it well known that..

Rain never falls on one roof!

X - 'X' FIRST OR 'ME' FIRST?

"There is so much suffering in the world. If I don't help here, what's the meaning to my life and what's the use of all these monies, time and energies with me?"

"Dear! You should sure do that all the time in your life. But do you know or have you assessed

THE EXACT HELP REQUIRED FROM YOUR END

As you do so?"

"What other calculations are required here, Sir? I have more in everything and the man next to me has so much less in respect of all of that. So clear and straight forward!"

"Dear!

I have a body and the self interest in me beyond will not listen to me and forces me to stick to it a 100% if not done so..

When cornered by a mob, the Great Man too initially took shelter in a Police Station and subsequently with the help of Police escaped from there in front of the mob in the guise of a policeman!

There is an order around me imposed by Nature and the laws of land backed by certain ethical ways of human expression and that need to be respected and I should never become a hindrance therein..

When a stranger asked the Great Man for some food, the Great Personality asked him complete a work for that. When the stranger refused to do that, the Great Man just remained firm sticking to what He said!

I have a duty as human being too and here a certain part of mine which I can easily negate, should necessarily be done so..

Having seen as their right, the Great personality made his tenants, owners of the respective houses by straight away surrendering His ownership!

Seen in the above context, it is imperative that I first take care of the first 2 core issues in respect of my welfare in particular and my greater surroundings welfare in general which means indirectly

HAVING HELPED MYSELF IN THE RIGHT WAY FIRST,

Beyond alone I should start taking care of the 3rd issue of my life Viz.,

HELPING OTHERS AS MUCH WITHOUT A SAY!"

W - THE (HARSH) REALITIES OF WORKING!

The ambulance vehicle making a shrilling sound with fast changing colored lights on top was seen coming very fast. Instantly all vehicles on the road slowed down, moved to a side as much possible and made way for the emergency vehicle to pass. Some people were equally in a prayerful mood wishing in their hearts that the person in the difficulty be soon well..

In my 60s, walking as usual as part of my daily morning walk on the opposite side, I too stopped for a min and was in a prayerful mode for the well being of the occupant when all of a sudden 2 youths ran across the road and crossed it..

As both of them came to my side, one man was seen asking them in a bit harsh tone why they made that attempt endangering their lives as well as coming in way of the emergency vehicle..

"Sir! We judged the distance and there was no problem.. We had to go urgently as we had no time and all along we lost our precious time!"

Was the answer from one of the youths..

"What urgency was there for you? You both look normal!"

"Our customer just now rang up.. He says that we are already late in our deliveries and if........ We've to go now!"

Soon I entered the nearby small hotel and ordered my favorite morning tea.. In few minutes, the hot steaming tea was in front served by an young man with a cheerful smile on his face.

I thanked him and as I started sipping my tea, slowly I was taken back to the memories of my past work life where in the boss/client interactions that took place were seen moving thru' my mind afresh..

• "You spoke to our customer on phone? Yaar! In this company the GM or CEO alone can do that. Right now go to him and say sorry for that. And, never do this mistake again!"

• "You want your GM's order to come to my place? No problem. Be prepared to be in my office in the next 15 minutes. It's going to come from not the GM but CEO's office!"

• "What dear.. Time is not enough? The customer wants the item by tomorrow. Find 25 hrs in your day today and complete the job!"

• "You came to the meeting to tell me that your deliveries would be delayed? Right now talk to your GM and get the right answer else your CEO will sure make you do that the next minute!"

• "I expect you to be the witness to the verbal accusations made at me by your other customer in the meeting. Please sign on these papers!"

• "You were witness to that verbal fight and you yourself address that. I may be your boss but I don't want to get involved in such sensitive issues!" 

And at the back of those never fading harsh realities of life, I could equally recollect my boss repeatedly advising,

“My dear Boys! You all very well know that we are into serious business when we sit in this place. Here, there's nothing like doing a fixed job and getting away.  If you remain casual at your work, you'll quickly be caught off guard and attacked by a few vested interests who are in for grabbing the opportunity and make a hay in the field..

That way, your employer soon may lose or may land in problems of strained relations, unnecessary blame or at times may get into few critical issues from which getting out will be a real a problem and for all that happening ultimately

You alone have to pay thru' your nose; nothing less!”

V - VALUE OF 'TIME' AND 'EFFORT' AS AGE GOES UP!

At 25, the young man was heard saying..

• "I'm off for the whole day tomorrow to complete all my works planned as I'm on my hectic 2 week vacation tour from day after tomorrow. I stuffed all that required in my huge back pack, shoulder bag and carry bag. I'll start around 7 AM and will return home late only by 10 PM!" 

At 35, the same man was heard saying.. 

• "I'm off for the whole day tomorrow to complete some of my works planned. Rest, I'll try to finish the day after as I planned my 10 day vacation tour from the ensuing day. I stuffed the required in my medium sized back pack and the shoulder bag. I'll start around 8 AM and will return home around 8 PM!"

At 44, the then middle aged man was heard saying..

• "I'm off for the whole day tomorrow to complete some of my works planned. Rest, I'll try to finish the day after and the next week. My outing for a week, I'll plan subsequently. I stuffed the required in my small back pack and the shoulder bag. I'll start around 9 AM and will return home by 6 PM!"

At 58 the then would be retiring man was heard saying..

• "I'm off for the day tomorrow to complete few of my works planned. Rest, I'll not plan at this stage and wait for appropriate time. My outing, let me plan for a couple of days if every thing goes smooth. I stuffed the required in my shoulder bag and the carry bag. I'll start around 10 AM and will return home by 4 PM!"

At 64 the then Senior Citizen was heard saying..

• "I'm off for half day tomorrow for my 3 of my works to be done. Outing?  Let me do something local if possible.. I stuffed the required in small shoulder bag. I'll start around 11 AM and will return home by 2 PM!"

At 67 the then Senior Citizen of advanced age was heard saying..

• "I'm off for some time tomorrow for 2 of my works. There is further nothing to be done presently and I'll take rest. I stuffed the required in my small carry bag to move with ease. I'll start at 12 and will return home in an hr!"

At 71 the then feeble elderly man was heard saying..

• "Tomorrow, I'll try to finish that single work in my neighborhood. I carry the required papers and go there. It's just 15 to 20 mts walk!"

Beyond, the same elderly man was heard saying..

• Nothing!

U - THE UNIQUE HAPPENING!

“Having bought such a Unique Apartment in my locality, I was very much interested in furnishing the same with the best Interiors available in the market..

The Unique Designs from the world market are ordered and as per the artist’s advice are laid in the Unique Aesthetic Way so that any one who for the first time enters my apartment will simply say, 'WOW' and nothing less of it at anytime..

One of the Unique Classic Items I had gone for is this dining table set. Got it out of a few imported stuff sold in the famous interior sellers’ store and got it positioned in the dining area.. 

Of course, the family equally wanted the Unique Dinner Set and Tableware for the same. Here, I had gone through many models of crockery and I was never satisfied with the locally sold items including those claimed to be imported. How can you serve food to a Guest in a normal crockery on a classic dining table with such Unique Interiors around decorated so aesthetically?

Last year, I was on a holiday abroad and there I visited…. where I heard the best crockery and decorative sets are sold. I purchased all those Unique Items of the tableware from one of the sophisticated shops there and brought them here.. 

Come, we'll have our lunch now.. The Cook had taken Unique Care to prepare your the most liked items. As the family is away, I asked him to do some cooking for the night also and go as he wanted Leave for half a day.. 

Everything is ready and today, we will serve Lunch by ourselves. I gave half day Leave for the boys too who help in serving and keeping the kitchen clean. So, today, we are all by ourselves..

I'm sorry..  How many times I told these boys to do extra cleaning of these Unique Crockery, Soup Bowls and the Glasses and keep them ready?  It appears, they haven't done that.. 

I should have a word with them tomorrow. Don’t worry, please do sit, I am cleaning a bit and bringing all these items. For a day, let me do this and....”

In the next five minutes, it was nothing but the rattling sounds of cleaning the Unique Porcelain Crockery and glasses in the sink with the Unique Cleaning Agent available in the market followed by washing with water and drying up.. 

Suddenly, a big thud was heard followed by the Unique Shrilling Sounds of the crockery and glassware touching the hard kitchen floor falling off from the inexperienced hands and breaking into a hundred pieces at one stroke thrown all round to every Corner.. 

The Unique Costliest Dining Set instantly had its Chapter closed thus permanently forever thru' that

UNIQUE HAPENNING!

"You all can go.. I stay back as I can't take that much strain!"

"Sir! You travelled all the way so much distance.. You offered Prayers en-route wherever you came across the related Shrines. Having come to the Main Shrine, why are you not paying your Reverence to the Lord by physically going to the point of Worship?"

"Dear! I should complete the job to the extent I am required to help out with my abilities. No doubt, the facilities are there to buy approved physical help but there is no need for me to do that as the Almighty had said..

"Dear! I should complete the job to the extent I am required to help out with my abilities. No doubt, I have every right to join the party but there is no need for me to do that as the Almighty had said..
