Source of Inspiration...

Tea has become my poison now. Having tea twice in the morning has become a must for me.

The tea I get out here at “tapri” is just amazing. The tapri happens to be very near to my place. However, the area is crowded by a whole lot of shops and vendors. It has become my habit to observe the things en-route to tapri.

There is a lady vegetable seller nearby whom I have been observing for quite some time now.

Every day morning, when I go for my second cuppa I see her reading the newspaper. She does that so religiously that I am simply awe-inspired by her desire to be up-to-date.

Here is this lady, who I am sure doesn’t really have great educational background. She is still trying to make the most of the time and whatever little opportunities she gets. Here am I, who is lucky to have got resources to have education and yet not a wee bit motivated to get the best out of it, compared to her.

Inspiration should never be taken from the historical personalities and legends. Inspiration, in my opinion should be taken from the people in your day-to-day life.

There is one thing I am thankful for, to this lady. For months now, I have nurtured a dream - A dream of doing something for this society at some point of time in life. To be very honest, I am not sure when I would be starting that. However, I would love to teach such people - Maybe, by being a part of an NGO.

This lady has fortified that dream. And I am sure, unlike many of my dreams, this dream won’t remain just a dream.
