THIRSTY THOUGHTS

“Wow Soda,limca sab ek side par pyaas to paani se hi bhujti hai “, I confide to myself while galloping that glass of cold water. The satisfaction and fulfillment derived is beyond the reach of my vocabulary. But suddenly my state of satisfaction is intervened by the thoughts of dripping taps, water flowing into the drains uselessly just because someone did not have enough time or sincerity to turn off the tap after using it. And the places I have in my mind are not the bus stands, railway stations or the street taps. But what I remembered was the shameless wastage of water that I have seen many a times in the girl’s hostel of eminent engineering college or the ladies washroom of a high profile software company. Well I am sorry if it sounds offensive to the ladies reading it because I cannot comment about the boy’s section as I did not have an opportunity to visit their premises.

But the main thing is that we all contribute to wastage of natural resources in spite of differences in our education level, our upbringings etc. I really feel as if someone is slowly killing the life with each drop of that water flowing uselessly into the drains. It gives me a feeling that we all have somehow turned into a murderer. How much time or effort does it take to turn off the tap (completely) once your task is over? And the returns it fetches are beyond comparison.

Have we become so busy in our other important tasks that this moral duty of ours has become negligible? If that is the case then beware my dear friends because one day this ignored task will pay back in a mammoth way. I don’t know if we will be alive to see that or not but those present then would never forgive you. Who have given us power to waste the share of others from this natural resource?

We feel very proud for ourselves thinking that we have progressed. But if our education, our upbringing, our spiritual thinking cannot make us responsible enough to thank and respect the precious nature we have. Then I think we are wasting our time effort to gain such education or so called spiritual wisdom. We are lagging in our education, in our upbringing, in our morals everything, everywhere.

Wake up friends, it is just a matter of feeling your responsibility from the heart and gets connected with the natural life around other than the shiny material life we are engaged in.

It is well known that “Better Late than never”. But if it’s too late it is as good (or may be as bad) as never. It is really tough to stay thirsty. If you do not believe please try and experiment it to believe it.
