Some incidents change the way you perceive life,it reminds that it isn't easy as it seems ,the complexities stretch far and the anomalies just keep cropping.
This incident happened a long time ago when I was kid (still I am) ,strolling in the garden one wintry afternoon I saw an old man selling sugarcane, riding his cycle and calling out in the most peculiar voice ever heard of.It was fun watching him with his antics that made few passersby into potential customers.But happiness is fleeting , so was in case of the sugarcane seller,who would have never thought that his successful errand would be abstained by force.There were a group of young men passing by who approached him and enquired about the sugarcane, the man was happy to oblige them with the canes.The young men savoured the
sugarcanes and started to leave which perplexed him.He simply asked them to pay and that was perhaps a
crime he committed,because instead of being paid he was beaten and left with his belongings which were strewn everywhere on the road.
I could see tears in his eyes which rolled down his wrinkled cheeks as he collected his things and started to leave and this certainly changed my prospect towards life.
life is not bed of roses dear .
