"I"


i-a letter among 26 alphabets-'I', a word among others in the dictionary.--"I", an individual among the crowd of the world.
i, so meek, so small, unnoticable-yet important and one of its kind.
for others i maybe just someone-but for a few people, i maybe irreplacable.
for others, i maybe just an acquaintance to talk about, but for a few, i am a support system to 'talk to'.
the world is full of people-each with his own story called life-own feelings-own dreams-own aspirations-own thoughts-hopes and challenges-ups and downs---yet what we see is just what we want to see,what our perspective makes us see.
we donot see the individuality of each "i", but we characterise them by our own rules.
if we see a poor bus conductor shouting, we will conclude he is short tempered..what if he is irritated because his poor kid is unwell and he can not afford medicines.
if we see a snob teenager, we conclude she has unasked attitude..what if she lost her family ages ago, and the hardships made her what she is.
if we see a rich spoilt brat, we conclude he has not been brought up well..what if he never got his busy parent's attention and devised his ways to keep himself busy.
if we meet a friend's sister, for the first time,we meet her as a friend's sister, and not as an individual she is.
the world is full of people, its upto you to call it a crowd, or look at it as a collection of people.
to call it a crowd gives you a generalised view, but a collection of people makes you treat each one as a living individual- to consider the human part of their life-to treat them accordingly- to judge them individually.

at this very moment, when you are forming an opinion about me, by reading my blog, i maybe doing something that totally contradicts your opinion.
at this very moment,when i am watching Anushka perfrom on TV and getting awed by her glamourous life,fan following..she maybe lazing around in her comfortable bed hoping to get some personal space.
at this very moment, when Ambani could be hurrying to avoid a minutes delay for a multi crore deal, someone could be spending hours under the sun, to look for a job to earn his bread and butter.
while on a same traffic signal, a gentleman in mercedes could be blaming the poor traffic system that makes him struck on road in his AC car..a poor beggar on the same road could be earning his days meal due to traffic.
on the railway platform, a poor kid maybe excited about his first journey outside his village, even if it meant 15 hours in a general compartment..for another gentleman,same 15 hours in AC coach maybe a nightmare as his travel agent couldnot manage flight tickets.
its the same day for everyone- same life- same 24 hours that we all get-yet we make different stories.
each "i" has a life, a story that maybe unnoticed by you, but important for him.
you have your story too, which is already at a better phase than many others, and you have your 24 hours, to decide the important characters in your story, to play the different roles of your story, and to shape the end of your story.
decide the value of "I",the letter that helps in formation of many words."I", the word that helps in formation of many sentences. and"I" the individual, me, that makes an integral part of many stories of the world.
Value each "I"!!
