A better world ..




The day has come to an end . Not with the promise of a new beginning though ! Lazy shower on my way back home makes me all the more insipid . Few familiar faces that doesnt lit up with a smile . Eyes that doesnt sparkle . Mirrors betray to reflect what you expect to see . Seems like people around us are living in their shadows . The world , as they so advertise , is getting better each day . The man in the red shirt sitting by the window , who always sits by the window , is a brilliant bridge player . His fellow mates always prefer to have him in their opponent team . Today he surprised all of them rendering a 10 rupee note to a ragged tramp . Perhaps he had surprised himself the most by this noble act ! As he couldn't help asking the tramp for the change . His polite demeanor was rewarded with 9 one rupee coins and a contorted smile . No doubt the world has become a better place to live in !
