rickshaw walah....
Rickshaw wallah.....
When was the last time you thought you thought you were bound in the conundrums of life...too busy to even realise the small,intricate and seemingly insignificant parts of life....
I have 414 friends on Facebook (5 friend requests pending)
Now assuming most of them scrap or poke through their workspaces and homes...We have 312 such places....
So sitting at one place, I was actually connected to 312 places...Feels like God!!
I was omnipresent...Ubiquitous!!
Now Picture this...
For a change...I left my overheated lappy....and decided to go out...
Outside my apartments....I saw a familiar figure....
To be honest...all such figures seemed familiar in my "FACE"-"Booked" Life...
There Stood with a three wheeled contraption as company...A Rickshaw wallah...
He had a smile on his eyes ....
And a glint on his speckless teeth...
"Bahut samay baad dikh rahey ho bitiyaa!! Kya haal hai?6 mahine (months)ho gaye!! "
"Haan main abb Idhar nahin rehti....A 6 chaloge?", i said , with a tinge of annoyance...
He saw me with a look..which was difficult to disparate---it was a look of contemplation - neither denial nor approval!!
I sat and so began the brief pedalling of wheels...
Its funny....The spokes of the wheels always move forward....and yet I looked back behind...rewinding my life in the past 22 years...The triumphs and tribulations all appeared ...
"Aapka bhai kaisa hai?"
I was taken aback....The figure that seemed so familiar to me and yet was no less than alien....remembered me so well....This even after in the past 6 months...he must have surely came across much more than 414 friends...
I guess he isnt on Facebook....But then does he need to??//
Leave the answers upto you....
