It often happens that some day to day incidents that happen around us brings back some fond , some sad memories from our past back to us in a flash. Memories that you long flushed away from your mind. One such case happened to me today.
Well i was on my way to have a cup of tea in the evening. It was drizzling. While enjoying my cup of tea , my eyes suddenly fell on a boy who stood in the middle of the street swaying his head from one side to the other and then looking front again. I could understand that he wanted to go forward , however something seem to have confused or troubled him. There were other people looking at him too. I wanted to know what was troubling the little boy , when i saw two dogs resting ahead on the way infront of the boy. I immediatly understood what the boys concern of taking the path straight.The boy then took the most unexpected path to his way forward. There were a line of scooters and bikes on the side of the road. The boy struggled his way through the little space between these two wheelers and the wall lining the street. Sometimes over the front tyre and sometimes from between the space provided in the scooter , the boy finally was successful in crossing the stretch. What was most amazing was the little cheer that the boy gave to himself when he was on the other side of the dogs. This small incident really cheered me up. That little boy taught a very simple yet useful lesson.
"where there is a will , there's a way".
This simple lesson we forget when we are surrounded by problems and look around for help. There is nothing you cannot do.
(As to many of you who must be wondering as to why i said that such incidents brings back some old memories - In my childhood days i was twice bitten by dogs. Rest of childhood days i was really scared of being around any dog. Even i made desperate attempts to dodge a dog if i found any on my way.)
