The world and its people.

The world outside...
Its rather amusing to realise how we humans are so much into our ownself and our lives and near and dear ones. Its simply amazing...
Coming to think of it ... did we ever give it a thought that there are so many people across the globe and how many do we know or how many know us?
Will it be interesting to sit back and list out the names of all those who have played atleast a 0.01% part in our lives? Interesting it is...

Lemme remember...
My family,close relatives,new members in the family, friends are not the people I am talkin about. The ones whom I am talking of are people who are not really close to you today, but you still have a memory about them, who too might remember you by name/parent's name, if not by face.

Aah, my first barber, my nursery teacher, my gardener, my pet dog, that jalebi-samosa waala who used a bad cooking oil but I still used to get stuff from his shop (sometimes ;-p), my cricket coach, school's watchman who used to be stern yet kind seeing me cry for missing mom at school, my UKG teacher who had once taken me in her arms as I was crying for mom...,ofcourse the churanwaala was so important to me, the gol-gappa(paanipuri) waala who used to be as good in his behaviour as were his paanipuris...(hez no more in dis world :-( ), an old sethji providing monthly ration to us and like a father figure to my mom, his son who owned a cycle shop and used to help repair my cycle(a ladies one though ! ), my mom's tailor, a paan-shop owner whom I hated as he used to argue with me on the then superstar being Mithun and not Amitabh...aarrgghhhh! The guy has grown old now, mellowed down, married and is a father too. Amazing isn't it! But he still recognized me after so many years!

Oh...the list will continue...and I shall not let it be a part of this post. You'll can make your own one too...I am really enjoying it.

I am sure the count though not bad would still be comparatively less!!!
Do we have the capacity to increase this ? I am sure we do...
Now...the next point is, how we pen down the experience with the names we listed out above. Excellent, Great, Good, Bad...?

Well, I am sure each category would have a name(family and friends are beyond categorisation, so exclude them). The idea is not to go back into the past and brood or feel sorry or happy...but to handle the present in such a way that after 5 years when we sit and again prepare the same list, the count of Excellent,Great and Good is more.
Is there any harm in that? Not at all. It will just reflect how good you are in controlling your weaknesses, how good you are with your communication or PR skills, how good you are in making others happy or helping them and lastly your realisation of How Good The World and its people are!!!

No ... don't even think of any negativity now.

Keep d faith...
