May be just one meeting I may or may not recollect if there is a next time we cross.I don’t mean to judge them being good or bad.
Coz they are just some people I don’t know much.
Sometimes my co-passengers on my lonely journeys long. (excluding the journey of life here)
Sometimes my friends and relatives, few lost in the rush of life.
Sometimes the nature around. This is probably the last one I pay attention to though it has always been there and shall be there.
And people I come across randomly but something has earned a frame in time.
I shall not name anyone here. Nor shall they be relevent to the time I publish the thankyou
Thanks you Co-passenger in my flight back from pheonix
The first one to cross my mind is this wonderful lady.
She is a lady working for a social cause. I was well prepared for the flight and enough work piled up to do. But this lady at the age of my mom next to me started talking … We started talking before the flight took off and believe me; we continued to talk till out footsteps took ways at an angle. We were so engrossed as we discussed different social problems cultures and definitely, her words have an impact on me today. She said “Humans are gifted a brain that can break all the barriers and crack any and every possible problem. Civilizations deal all with it.” She helps the physically disabled people. The examples she gave are just awesome. She too emphasized on vulnerability of women, the balance between emotions, responsibility and sensibility. We both were just aghast at this point. Probably both of us had seen too much of this happening and wanted to defy it. Well easier said than done. Thanks for talking in a way that empowers me from within for a life time and I am sure your efforts to help the underprivileged shall be fruitful. Hope we can make a difference to the lives otherwise ruined. Thankyou.
Uncle at Dubai Airport who helped a little fund for charity
I also had a plight to buy home few best gifts possible. I had seen deals like buy 3 packs for …. Uh! What would I do with such bulk but they were a few quick bucks to save. Hehehe do I sound greedy oh may be but I am saving up for a selfless cause. There was an elderly person I came across at an airport where I was waiting long to board the flight. Probably he is also thinking something similar. He picked up packets and placed them back. I just went near him and he greeted me. We talked a little and then about the deal to strike a deal. Well we purchased them together and shared the chocolate. As each of us had a pie of benefit, there was a problem. I din not have a hundred rupees to pay him. I just had forty. He said it was ok and I told him that I shall pay this sixty for charity. He then asked me what I do. We got into a quick chat and I told him about the trust I visit….. Along with some suggestions, he gave me back the forty rupees and said, why don’t you make the amount I give a hundred instead of sixty. A smile and yes it earned the trust an extra hundred. When the old man tried to get my contact details, the typical me, din want to give my details to a stranger and just hopped out of it. Thank you uncle, the money you had given has reached a trust, to help the destitute women and children. If you have the question what would a person do other than leaving that hundred there, I should have given you chocolates worth two dollars uncle. hehehe…Dubai to India!
My co-passenger from Dubai to India…. Oh what a journey is it. The winds of mother land fast rushing to hug me. We were checking the status of the flight and the weather outside. We discussed what each of us was taking home. The difficulties in shopping for gifts perfect, and helping with tips to shop the next times. Finally we touched India I knew my people are just a few meters away from me and are waiting just for me. Feels so special when someone does this right. At the baggage counter, I had to wait long. It was a wait that crossed thirty minutes and then my co-passenger got his baggage. His friend on the same flight too got his baggage. It seemed like an endless wait and might be a start of another struggle. My co-passenger and his friend were kind enough to wait for me. And then I see my baggage after one and a half hour. Uh! A great relief! Baggage too heavy for me to pull of (hehehe). MY co-passenger and his friend had helped me get those heavy bags onto a trolley. As I moved out, there was a big line for customs. Uh!! But I could clear it off in hardly anytime and my co-passengers, oh they are far far behind as their baggage had cross marks. You worth a thank you for waiting long. But the rush to meet my family made me move. I am sorry for not thanking you.
