Blueberries

That was a beautiful evening with soothing breeze... I drove to a vegetable market.. After parking, I was about to enter into the market... I saw an American coming out of the shop with pick-up bag full of items and a small pack of Blueberries in one of his hands..

As usual, I was taking a look at him with no special observation... Suddenly, I found the box of Blueberries slipped off from his hand... and the they were scattered..(we can imagine how it could scatter as they are spherical).. they rolled even little far because of slight slope of road and the shape of Blueberry..

I felt little bad within me... But no one was around that place except that gentleman and I was passing through as unnoticed... He started collecting those from the road... first he collected the the Blueberries those were very close to the pack... then he started moving further and he was gathering and putting in to the small pack... oh I couldn't believe why he was gathering those.. because he didn't look as poor in appearance...

He was gathering again and again.. and he took a through look around and even picked one that was lying far and put it in the pack... I felt with in me... "oh my God, why so?".. assuming he was not ready to loose even one that went far....

After he made sure nothing was left on the road, he moved towards a trash bin and put all those collected Blueberries from the road... I was stunned to see the highest degree of responsibility that gentleman was possessing within him... it really moved me much... on seeing his attitude of keeping this earth a nice place for everyone to enjoy and he made sure he was not making it bad, though none was observing...

This incident had a deep mark in my heart... I have been recollecting this various occasions.

A simple thought

My college days.. National Cadet Corps was one of my activities where I involved with interest.. Remembering the incidents happened in series of Camps in different levels.. all about fights among students..

In Unit (Collection of Colleges in a district) level camp, the fight was among in Colleges.

In State level Camp, the fight was in District level. The colleges fought now joined together when the level went to the next level.

In inter-state Camps, fight was between the states. I didn't go to the next level but learned from my friend who attended the camp that in National Level that the fight was in South India, North India level.

Amazing to see the people those who were fighting, joined together.. only when there was an opportunity to face the next level.. but fight remained always in all the camps.. from the beginning till then end.

I am able to correlate the these series of incidents with the fights between Districts, States, Region and Countries... States fight each other in Country level issues.. Districts fight in State level issues and but all States join when the Country itself faces difficulties.. Number of fights get reduced when we view things in a broader perspective.

Why can't I start loving the Globe instead of limiting myself to the nation that gives me everything and bring peace to it? When I do it, my shorter thinking in District level, State level and even the Country level fight will go off from me.

Definitely, I love my family. The true change starts from home.
