A Journey in Metro

There was unexpected crowd at the metro station last day when I reached there. I was doubtful about getting a seat in Metro and scared of travelling for one and half hours standing with uncontrolled body of other commuters. It becomes too crowdie that even you cannot move your body part slightly.
I made sure that I am standing at the right place where the metro door opens and kept waiting for the train. In just two minutes, around five hundred commuters reached and I suddenly saw myself adjusting with people to stand at my fixed position.
Now an announcement made about the arrival of metro on that platform and everyone was ready to attack the vacant metro for possible seat. Metro train crawled to the station area and stood still. We were waiting for its door to open and within two seconds, I saw myself sitting on a seat adjusting at my comfort level. Thank God, I somehow occupied a seat for a long journey….otherwise it would have a tiring journey. I was thinking all these and saw the fully occupied seats by the commuters where many were standing because they did not get seats.
Just after sitting, I saw that a person stood up and walked away from the seat beside me and a man requesting him to sit down. However, he did not care and went away to the door and stood leaned on it. I should not mention but he was a Muslim old man. I felt bad that he left his seat due to few seconds delay for this sitting war…
I was again surprised when the person who had occupied the seat went to the old man requesting to be seated there while he was ignoring with smiling face. I felt very happy for both when he finally brought him back to the seat saying- uncle, we are children and you are our respectful old man. And he sat next to me….I was feeling contended and proud to see the person who was the answer to them very often says that this is a country where there is no love among various religions.
This world is our responsibility so we should give our best the make it peaceful, beautiful, and heaven. There are no religions but humanity, there are no bad or good religion but the person affects it.

Are we really too busy to think about our environment?

Last Friday when I was walking in the way to the office; I was five minutes late.

And the unfortunate moment was supposed to occur at that time only when a nineteen years old boy who was standing around the parking area in Metro Station premises, asked me "Excuse me sir, can we talk about environment for ten minutes?" and I replied "I don't have time now."

 

I felt very bad to say no to him. Still I am feeling bad because he was the first person who took initiative and I don’t know when I will meet him again.

 

There are rare who take the step for good reason and many to ignore saying “some other time.

My request to you is not to ignore such opportunity and feel guilty like me.

 

Be the reason to make this world better and beautiful!!
