Some incidents leave their footprints on sands of our memory forever!

Why?

I am writing this blog after a long gap! I know!

I have been super busy in my studies and at my work. I didn't get any time, last one week or around 10 days, I was in Odisha. Meeting parents and spending time with them, ofcourse it's important, but while exercising duties of a son, I neglected Karma for being a civil servant, I missed my studies which would have taken me closer to my goal.

And, yeah, being a hardcore believer of exquisite planning - neat execution - learning from failures - improvising and repeat the cycle till I get it right : I am working on my goal as much as I can!

I don't know about others, it's just me and the almighty and I want to stay as transperant as I can and hence, have opened an YouTube Channel so that I can record my study sessions. Little bit distractions are there, that's natural, I hope I just get better with time!!

Yes, so why do you want to become a civil servant? This is a very important question! If you don't know it, I am not sure about Civil Services, but yeah, for Armed forces it was very much needed else it's just not you who will be a casualty, you will be the reason of sorrow for 120 Men and their families! So yeah, there are a lot of reasons. Even sometimes I get confused which one to choose, every service has its own pros and cons. I just need to see, where I will fit in the best. And, I know I will do well.

I am writing this blog this evening as before 30 minutes I had my dinner at KFC. It was a rainy evening and as I choose always the corner seat to enjoy solitude, I sat and was having my meal - a chicken burger and some chicken popcorns!! There are few kids here, who play outside near the footpath, when I went in the afternoon to have my coffee, they were so happy and climbing up a tree and playing with each other, I mean, sometimes people have a lot, more than what is needed, still they want more and more and there is no end to it, whereas some people are happy with minimal things in life. Maybe those kids were not eaten, still happy and playing, when I was having my dinner, one of the kids came outside the glass and asked for food, I don't know how to express it, it just makes me sad. I mean, inside few kids were having cold drinks and food and in rain outside those kids are looking at food and begging for it! Two different worlds, so far yet so closely I saw. It just moved me for a second.

After my food, I went to buy chocolates and chocopies for them, but only one kid was there, I gave him! He smiled so beautifully, maybe in rarest of rare occasions, I have seen such happiness!! I felt good. I am not glorifying myself that I did a great job, nor I took any photo or ever shall I do such things of posting those in social media to showcase own greatness or whatever.

Here, the point is very different.

Along with my other reasons, I am going to mention it in one of the story. I want to work for such people - underprivileged and maybe they need someone who will help them so that they can become something good in life.

Similarly, day before yesterday, one lady came, she was very old and she came to recharge her phone but the shop was closed. The momowala bhaiya requested us to recharge her phone and she gave us the cash. I don't know, maybe people like her, if not having a son or daughter or anyone to take care of them, how they would be doing, they might be roaming like this requesting people to help them! It's just sad.

I am not a socialist, but why don't we help underprivileged and poor people, along with a lot of good things I learnt from my parents, I have learnt to help people in need. That gives a sense of happiness and a joy of giving, it feels so nice. Maybe it was very very small thing, but I feel good.

And, to bring a change for such a large sub-continent like ours, even after being a bureaucrat I don't know what I can do, but I will try from my end, wherever I am, changes happen from one person, and that person leads and guides others. I want to be that torch bearer.

May my country be the best and may the Almighty help all these people. I shall keep them in prayers. Also, I will try my best not to waste food from today, I can't really forget two faces of the same kid in two different instances - During afternoon a joyful kid and during evening a kid who is begging food for being hungry. 

Jay Jagannath!
