Last few days have been great with regards to experiences shared by people around me.May be you will also enjoy,what I have to share.
It was 1st Jan, My son and I were travelling back from Delhi by train. The journey would have been boring but for our co passenger.He recounted, how as a person from small town, Bokaro, comming to Delhi was a world of experience. Everything was new right from the first ride to college by bus.Friends had advised him to take certain bus number to the university.But bus by that number did not seem to come.The world of mobile phone did not exist for the kids in those days though it had made it's entry.His friends waited for him at the university. And finally came to search for him.They found him waiting at the bus stop.On being asked why he had not boarded the bus, he very innocently replied, " yaar no bus with that number has come . I am here from past three hours." The friends were surprised.He told them that all the buses that came to the bus stop had number with Dl-............His friends broke out in laughter.They just could not stop.He was perplexed.His friends realised that he had been looking at the number plate instead of the bus number which is displayed at the top.He felt sheepish yet that was his first lesson of life in a metro.Today not only does he laugh recalling his past innocent youth but he also made us laugh sharing his experience
I was chatting with a friend in Restaurant .Their was so much to share and time as usual was scarce.We had our lunch and when it was time for the finger bowls my friend recalled his first experience with the finger bowl.He had come from the village to town for the first time.He went to a hotel for lunch .After he finished a hearty non veg meal the waiter took away the plates and placed finger bowl.He took the lemon squeezed it and drank up the mixture.He knew that his mom would appreciate it because it would aid digestion.That is what he thought about lemons after meal.All the waiters were looking at him in surprise. Of course they did not utter a word.But he could see the twinkle in their eyes.Today he knows the reason,and can't stop laughing himself.
Life is so beautiful if we our ready to listen to others.
