Anyways lets leave the topic for exams for some other day when we all are feeling the heat of examination. Today i met my friend my online friend for the first time, as she had come to town for a shoot. She is the same as i had imagined, a matured lady and as usual having the smile which all women have on her face...HAI the smile sometimes really penetrates your heart..
So we met at a local restaurant quite a famous one and began our conversation over a cup of filter coffee. Man it was awesome,coffee in the purest form is so so.....umm cant think.
During our conversation a small bird like fellow came to take our order,he was just like the other waiter( sorry to say that) but the one thing which stood out in him was the way he greeted and met everyone.The smile was always on his face ,most importantly everyone who entered or left the place met him and went making me wonder what is so special about him.
Later as i began to chat with him,got to know his name was lingappa or aka LINGO.He has faithfully served the place for 42 years,thats awesome for me atleast. Like the coffee his heart was pure as he said " Yahan pe jo bhi ata hain mera dost ban jata hain". LINGO has met many personalities in his innings of 42, the list goes from
Smita patil
Raj Thackery etc etc .
As LINGO went to get our bill something stung me, wasnt a bee but his smile it never vanished. He is so determined his life that through the virtue of his goodwill hardwork or whatever you might call he has made his son successful. One is a doctor and the other one is presently doing mba.
LINGO got our bill, and though we paid it i did not want to leave the place,he made everyone around him so comfortable. As time was not on our side we had to get up before leaving he asked my name,i gave it to him to which he replied "baba mujhe bhulna mat,kyunki main nahin bhulnga thume". I left with a big smile on my face and ask my friend if we could make a documentaries on such people.
They dont do something extraordinary, its just that even if problems come their way they face it with a smile and make the bad into good.In today's world were negative energy is filled everywhere such people still exist and perhaps are the best examples on how to live a life.
Bad patches come everywhere,its how u face it determines your strength.
Thanks LINGO will never forget you, especially since you have taught me again how to live me life :D :D
