two golden hearts
Posted by Anupam Jha on March 31, 2008
Tears man.Big tears.Not the limited tears,which just makes your cheeks wet below the eyes.That was big,big one.Which flows down the cheeks in a certain defined streams,left the dusty railway station wet,plopped down on the surface,left you completely void.My parents tears, my tears.But not before my parents,now m getting the sense of artificial maturity.Shit.I held the tears before the train started crawling and when i lost the glimpse of them after a few seconds.I know,while hitting this post m getting sissy and making me emotional.But thats the way i m. I cry easily.very easily.
I left Muzaffarpur on 29th landed here safely. I have set up the room,in my own unique way.The clothes have been shoved in the almirah.Sweeped the entire room with one year old broom.And now i have severe pain in the back.How a decent good girl can manage to do such stuff almost everyday,yeah a big pat from me,take it.
But now i m missing my family,parents.Would b nice once i will sink myself into work from tomorrow.Yes i just wish to sneak into the kitchen at my home just rite now.And scare my mummy by shouting in her ear.And then she would turn and yell at me-bantu tu ek din heart attack karwa dega.She often says this whenever i do such stupidity.What would b papa doing rite now?? May b he is reading some books or newspaper.I have always an urge of reading newspaper or books when he is reading by heckling mindlessly and we often end up brawling,and then mummy comes up and settle the matter.
Why do i have to b away from them.Oh yeah for career’s sake.So i make a lot of money and make proud of me.I understand.My being here working out things,to get handsome salaried job,this is the best thing for me i know.But for those of you who are with their parents,please note it donot let the precious time go without respect and enjoyment.Its only when you are away from them you feel the importance of being together with parents.
A family is the most natural blessing.May b we have b come so used to a mummy working in the kitchen ,to a papa reading newspaper,to a sister teasing us that we fail to understand their importance,we donot notice them much,and look for someone outside family,someone special.But nothing nothing can come close to love what your parents give you. I look at my hand,rite one,this hand has been through slapping my frnd in class 5th.Through holding a call letter as being a state topper, but still the most natural and loving thing this hand has done is to curl around my mummy’s finger.
The love in a mothers heart cant b found in any investment bank,not in dollar,not in getting into any top end engineering college.We guys look for big trophies seven figure salary,reaching US.But the most natural and best form of joy you can feel is in the unconditional love your parents can give you.You will always have to return to your parents to see that glossy of true love and caring in their eyes.You may sleep on the huge beds with split AC running around you,but the timeless feeeling of relaxation and pure comfort comes only when you are circled around them.
Have u ever discussed with your ma about the moment when u first time started walking.A twinkle in her eyes,the excitement in her tone,the pure smile on her lips, recalling all those moments is something else.Different than any other joy,yeah i mean it.Its like her entire self is submerged into something of unbridled joy of that moment,when first time you pressed your soft tiny foot against this earth for the first time.
So somewhere,remember that these two people still beating for you,caring for your happiness with all their hearts 24\7.Still wanting to stroke your hair now with weaker hands wrinkled face but with same intensity.and still feeling joy at your every smile.
Guys\Gals people, you have may created business,empires,nation,but those two people have created life.Created you.
Life may b about getting into IITs,RECs,IIMs and any other top end college,getting a job in new york,california,doing MS at university of Berkley,But life is also about watching your mother wrapping bedsheets early in the morning, about sharing morning tea with your parents,pulling your sisters pony tail,acting stupid knowing that one day you will miss them,remember it.your all dollars will remain with you,your all fancy stuff from BMW to cycle will remain with u.but they wont.so treasure them.
Life is not about a few big moments,but a zillion small ones what we come across everyday.Sooooo,please go out win this plastic world,b come famous,but please donot ever forget to care about two golden hearts,your father and mother.they are just beaming and beating for U all the time.
