What I choose to SEE

 What I choose to see.....


There was Sugarcane growing Farmers agitation in Hubli.
The cause for big traffic jam every where.
I therefore preferred going on my scooter for my whole day travel from one hospital to another.
I was returning back home at 8.30pm ,all tired after a hectic work day.
Inspite of being on a 2 wheeler,I face bumper to bumper traffic.I was forced to switch off my scooter and wait for traffic to clear.
The Flyover work and the vehicle load along with a very hot weather....Pollution overload.
The incessantly honking by some people made my mood even worse.
Beside me was a swanky car.
It was chauffer driven.
A lady was sitting in back seat....in her Air conditioned car,the music system was showing a trending song being played.....and she was at ease watching a reel on her mobile.

Looking at my state.....tired,sweaty,irritated,inhaling fumes of the truck in front of me,thinking of reaching home and preparing the dinner and finishing remaining household chores till I get another Emmergency Csection call......

Some people are " Lucky " indeed I exclaimed.....Seeing the lady inside the AC Sedan. ...watching a reel.....nonchalant of the traffic and commotion around.

As I moved ahead......I saw a Public transport bus .....so many people inside.....some actually hanging outside the overcrowded bus.
All tired faces.....returning back from workplace.....and God knows,still may have to catch another similar overcrowded bus or walk kilometers till their home.

Did my eyes see them?????
And did I feel myself " Lucky".....as I was on my own vehicle and would be in the comfort of my home in a few minutes.....
NO.

We only tend to " SEE" what we don't have.We only want to pity ourselves.

We never " SEE" what we have....
And never appreciate that.

Real vs Reel.

  In the " REAL" World. I had been to a condolence meeting of a Senior Doctor. So many people had gathered there to pay their last respects. It was overwhelming to see that the Senior Doctor had touched so many lives....and that day was the proof of his Good Work throughout his life. I went to offer condolences to his son...." Sir earned lot of Good will by his enormous benevolent work." His son replied" That's what he earned only in his whole life.Only Good Will.No money." What is important in our Life? Today,our young generation is immersed in Digital media and Artificial Intelligence. They are more involved and connected to ' Reel" and " Virtual media. They have lakhs of Followers who 👍 Like them on Instagram and X. They communicate majority of their day on Social platforms with unknown strangers. But in Real world.... They remain aloof and secluded from surrounding and society. Absolute no interaction nor communication. ...
