MAGIC OF LOVE AND AFFECTION..

Imagine yourself driving your car on a hot summer morning trying to reach office for a meeting. You are late and trying hard to find a way out of the maddening traffic. The auto-riksha drivers and the 2 wheeler guys are simply making you mad. Some of them are driving covering both the lanes at an unusually slow speed, not leaving you any room to pass them. While, others are trying to zoom past you, from both sides. It is simply crazy. You are going to be late again for the meeting.



Then you stop at the next signal. You are completely disturbed and irritated with the situation. You are looking at the counter on the signal post and start counting down the seconds 60 – 50- 40-10-1-0 and finally it goes green. And then when you are about to press the accelerator pedal, to your utter dismay, you find that the guy in front of you is trying hard to get his bike started. He is kicking vigorously but it is of no use. You honk but he is unmoved. You can not go from left or right as there are vehicles in all directions.

And the guy is not even trying to move to the side and give you a way. You can only see him from the back sitting on his bike trying to kick start. The signal is now going to become yellow very soon. There are only 10 seconds left. You are about to loose your composure and start honking continuously hoping that the guy will move.

And then finally the guy turns back to look at you and you both look at each other, to find out that he is your best friend from the school/college. And then all your anger vaporizes in a second and a smile comes on your face. You get down eagerly with a genuine concern for your friend, not to bash him but to help him with his problem. His bike comes to life. You go back to your car and you pull over to the side of the road to have a heart to heart conversation with your old time buddy.



This is the magic of love and affection.



So next time when you are irritated by someone in traffic or at the cash counter or outside the lift, just imagine that he is your brother / husband / friend, and your anger will vanish.
