Mumbai
after 2010.
The rainy season is supposed to be an irritant, but pleasant when indoors. The breeze is cooler, the green looks fresh washed. It's nice. It's soothing.
There's a struggle everyday. There's a destiny to be fulfilled.
The octogenarian in fresh white kurta-pyajama smiled and said, you are a lucky one who is getting such an opportunity and they are the lucky ones to have you. I agreed, but I do not want this opportunity, I do not want me or them to be lucky this way - not for what I have to do, but for what she has to go through to make me lucky. What I have to do fades in front of what she has to....
But that slim, smiling, still standing straight 80 year old person impressed me at his capacity to stay positive - in spite of what life has dealt out to him.... what strength, what attitude. Many of us just speak our attitude - he is living it.
