As one treads through the routine of humdrum lifestyle, seldom does he/she step out of his/her pre-designed mode of life! Yet, there exists a tinge of colour to every single day!
The perspective differs! Here lies that tinge of colour! Look through the eyes of a photographer, the world is full of light-shade, colour-contrast, in and out of focus!
A journalist will help you out with the message that’s hidden behind those snaps!
A columnist will make it more expressive by adding a few precise words!
A shift in the paradigm!
A scene from the local trains, a very much familiar phenomenon of Mumbaikars! Traveling during the peak hours, will make you wiser by the end of your journey! “Hey watch out!” “How dare you push me?” Can’t you shift in a little; at least four people can sit on a bench!” “If you don’t want to get down, why the hell are you standing at the door?”
It’s such a simple thing to board a train and alight at our desired station! But then, if we try to draw some similarities from the above instances, we would realize it is quite analogous to our life process! Life has many things in hold for us! It’s like a treasure hunt! If you have the eye for events like that of a photographer, you would observe the minuscule details of your own life! A habitual sunrise/ sunset can drift you away from the 6:40 or 5:56 local train! Different faces, characteristics of varied people, a metropolitan, a cosmopolitan clan, provides you a good sample for observing the concealed traits of human beings! Faces are those snaps, read out the messages they veil! Happy, sad, tense, tired, angry, frustrated, happy-go-lucky, nervous, determined, stubborn, laid-back, accommodating ……! The list goes on! Flash a smile and wait-n-watch! Some people respond some don’t! Why?! Life’s been too hard for some, yet they manage! For some, it gets harder even while they get along! A columnist in you will effortlessly start taking notes!
Making it more stimulating, you would write somewhere on the notepad of your mind, the gist of all the comments and advice you are showered with during your journey-
“Live life as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever!”
