It was a busy day as my schedule was lagging with the ticking of my new watch. For a thought it was quite funny that even a new watch couldn't buy me extra time, it was all the same as it used to be, just added a snap on snapchat about this, even that faded away in 24hrs. So I was late and I was running to catch a train which I was able to see from stairs and suddenly I saw my old so called friend, I gave him a smile, a forced and fake one. As I was in hurry I waved my hand to him and was trying to cut the flow of crowd. Only thing I could do was watch that train departing and horning that loud noise as if it was teasing me. So I swam through that turbulent flow of time bounded living beings and reached the platform. I was worried about not this population crisis but my ironed shirt, so materialistic. Next train was 10 mins away so only thing I could do was observe the platform. It was all crowdy and this heat was just cherry on the top of this so called crowdy cake. Just few boggies ahead I saw the luggage ccompartment. There I saw one old uncle trying to lift one heavy bag loaded full of cricket
bats. But his power wasn't enough, but he didnt stop trying. I don't know what happened to me and I imagined him as my father who was farmer once. Even my father used to do so much of labour work but that all vanished for me when I moved to city with my well paid job, may be its still somewhere in my mind where I ignore to surf around. So this old man was sweating but he couldn't lift that bag. The memory of my father clinged to my heart and I walked to that luggage compartment. In time, the train was arriving, but my mind was ao focused on that memory that I wanted to help this old man. I reached to him and lifted that bag for him and helped to get board. He couldn't say anything as it was rush but smiled at me and waved hand. That smiled stunned me as it was so pure and real. I felt so afraid suddenly inside, not because I missed my train again, not because my ironed shirt has got dirty and wrinkles, not because my schedule was alarming but BEACUSE I WAS FEELING HUMAN INSIDE. This feeling caught me and brought the smile on my face which was real this time.
