Helping my friend with my small twins,is difficult. Still, i have made my mind to help her, in ways i could.
The day started with my back Pain at 3.30 am, in the morning, with my disturbed sleep. My Bro tried to wake me at 4.00 for the daily morning walk. I could not make it up, though the pain was troubling me, i was only half awake.
Mind was asking the body to wake up, for the walk; while the body was hesitating to get up. with struggles i started for the walk at 5.00, my son cried and i fed him till 5.30 and stepped out.
with just 12 rounds, in the mehta nager ground, i decided to quit walking in the ground and walked towards the church. The clock turned 6.10, and the morning prayers were on, yet the mass is at 6.30. Went to the Communion room, since i felt i need a private place for a conversation with the creator. Tired after the walk, the air conditioned room gave me real good feeling that unknowingly i spent 20 minutes there.
Reached home at 6.30, saw my kids playing in the bed. washed hands, and went to play with them for a while. The Aunty, who takes care of my kids had filed the buckets with metro water. Though i was happy,i pitied her that she has lifted it from to the ground floor to the second.
Since we had bitter experiences, walking in the companies, we decided to rest for few days and start the search after some days. While, My Bro came up with advertisements in newspapers.
This time, I hesitated to accompany her, still she is very new to chennai, I started with her. The interview was with New India - Impulse, 25, Tulak Office Road, Saidapet. When we decided to appear for it, it was 12.30 in the afternoon, the Sun is all set to show its greatest glory.
We en quired lot of idiots, but no one know where the Tualk office Road was. Travel in bus, reminded me my early life. we got down in the old Bus stand and asked a quite a few people and no one knows where it was. Finally decided to walk straight through the bridge. An auto Driver came that way, asked where, we need to go.
We said, we dont need a drop, since, we dont know where the place was. He asked us to get in, and in return to give him a change of Rs.20. Looking at the eating sun, we started in the auto. Just after the bridge, he stopped to ask where the place was. My friend was trying to get my attention, to tell me that we were standing in front of the New India Office, while i was busy asking the route.
Slowly the auto driver told me, it looks little far, and he needs 50 Rupees. At the Dawn of our arguments, My friend, shouted, we are standing right in front. I gave him 50 and asked him to give 30 back, while he gave just 20. The arguments went to some level, i felt, it is not worth to speak more, since we had to go back home, my kids are waiting for me.
The Interview took only 10 minutes, i was happy inside, thinking i can take my friend back home. Came out and realized, we are very near to the chenna malai church.
Prayed, had some water and we dont know, which way to go. Some person who looked similar to a watch man came to our sight, we went to ask the way.
He started in English. He was so fluent, as if he was a CEO of some Company. The conversation went along with some pieces of advice to us. He, being so simple, wearing worn out clothes, i asked him, if he were a priest. He said, he is waiting for a call from Jesus Christ. He added, he was working with 25 companies, settled all his three children, having a kid each. I asked where he wife was, He replied, she agreed to go with Jesus 30 years ago and now buried in the Cemetery of the same church.
With Thanks, when we were about to leave, He asked me a favor, to give him Rs.10.
With so many questions,in mind, we both walked away.
Does a wife mean so much to a man, of Old age?
Also, whoever you are, Money places vital role in every one's life, be it an auto driver, my friend, who is in the job hunt process and the so called "Selfless old person"
Life is Great, Each day is a Learning!!!
