After a long long time... yesterday I really spoke my heart out to someone. It was a lil uncanny, yes. But once I was comfortable...there was no stopping me. Thanks for listening me out bhai :)
We were talking about how someone, anyone, in my place would have become a ruthless, spoilt, useless brat. Well, maybe yes. But I wont crib..I wont even say I would have been happier had my life been a lil more simple, uncomplicated.
At least I have no right to whine. I have two eyes which can see the blue sky, the brown soil, the green plants and all the beauty. I have a nose which can smell the flowers in my garden. I have a set of perfect ears to listen to Green day, what would I have done without them.
I have two hands which can feed me, let me msg people, draw, play the sitar and type! I can walk around, all thanks to my legs, I know I cant manage without them. I have a voice people recognise with. I can breathe eachday and not worry about anything else.
I have a mom I can call my mom, I have two actually :D I have a dad who has always been by my side....no matter what. And I have a bundle of happiness, My bundle of happiness, Alpy :)
Everyday before I sleep, I just wish tomorrow happens, normally. Even though a short one, I have a life better than a million thousand people who live in Shelters for the homeless, Refugee camps, Slums. I count myself lucky 'coz I am better off than someone who has never seen her mom put on a bindi, someone who has never heard the wind tease through his hair, someone who has never spoken a word of love to the people she wants to reach out to, someone who has never felt the first drop of rain on her skin, someone who is really really special .
I want to be a government doctor. Sounds very non-glamorous, right? So be it. I just want to know how it feels to touch lives of the people who will always remember you coz you saved their brother or mother or wife. I want to know how it feels to live in a place with no electricity for months and work under the light of the lamp. I want to know how it feels to tell those kids about a computer who have never even heard of one. I want to know how it feels to be placed next to he who owns us all... I really want to know who it feels to be placed to god. I really want to know how it feels to be a doctor.

ReplyDeleteSurely we are lucky.She made me cry last evening by saying all these things.If everyone was like Sherry,we wouldn't have heard of Hitler,Stalin or Osama.It may seem a little out of place and a little humorous,but that's the truth.:|
ReplyDeleteThe way she writes,she could have been an amazing journalist,but she is so keen on becoming a Doctor.She wants to help the mankind,that's the way to go Sherry.
Enough said,She is a sweet-heart.I'm 'lucky' to be a part of her friend's list.:)
