It hasn't been more than a year ago, that I went to get my scooty serviced at a shop that is located near my old house. The owner of the store(who seemingly loved his shop & job) was in greasy clothes for evident reasons...a 50-something man, it seemed like I knew him(but didn't want to strike any such conversation), as a humble gesture I smiled and told him about what needs to be repaired in the vehicle and asked him, how much would that cost...and to my surprise he said, "When it was your dad's vehicle, I would finish the work first, let him take a test ride and then tell him what it costs...it would be the same with you too little one!" And then like a flash in the memory lane, I could get to see those past moments where I came to the same shop along with Papa to get his vehicle serviced. The man said, "its been so many years that I had last seen you, but that gentle reflection of your father's face in yours reminds me of my most beloved friend, who would have been a little younger than I today... he was the finest man I ever knew".
That one statement added something new to my perspective of life and living beings. I truly realized that the deeds we do, the thoughts we think and the words we say are the actual things that make us an achiever; such achievement can not be gauged by any numerical system or number crunching!
It is a decade today, that I have learnt to live without my first ever hero. He set the benchmark for a human being, for a man... too high!
Infinite Love.
