she goes to work everyday hoping a change.But is that what she wants?
                    My day starts by boarding a train to work.....except from waking up and other irrelevant activities.I'm a software programmer working in a outsourcing company."Cubicle" is my world and "HOME" is my universe.Everyday i gaze upon digital letters to find errors.Finding mistakes was no great feat,clearing them was.It's was very colorful though,all black,red,green and blue.My job has a communicative side which include  customers,admins and some troublesome co-workers(these people are always impatient and angry,also it's always one-sided).But being "calm" through entire conversation was all thanks to my kids.

                    My universe have 2 kids and a husband.It may seem small,but it's wellbeing is what i live for.........Before boarding train getting them ready for school is more difficult than any other assignments in the job.They killed my angry state long ago.....and i couldn't get angry anymore.

                    But lately,i feel as if "why am  i doing this?what did i do to hear all complaints?is this part of "karma"????
Then one day like all the other,i woke up quite early,woke my kids and "him"(he is so lazy,but his responsible side really keeps me going).Hmmmmmm.......(got a bit carried away).After 2 hours, i was sitting inside a cab like i'm riding a horse.Like always,right on time.Suddenly,i saw a beggar lady carrying two kids.....she had no legs and was desperately trying to move to a corner so she can feed them with some leftover food lying on the platform *.She crawled with two children so helplessly,but her face told me that she don't expect any help.
Train suddenly arrived and my consciousness was switched back to getting a seat in the train."Bad karma"effect....it didn't get any seat.
suddenly a series of megabits rushed into my head starting a procedure of "enlightenment".That woman flashed my mind several times.Her situation doesn't give her a chance to hear other's complaints and she have none either.yet she lives with no regrets.
                 
                  she changed my regrets.i learned to be more assertive in communication(now it's a bit two-sided).still no change on "digital letters".but i didn't complain to myself.
                    Don't know how long this goes on..but all that i care is that it keeps me going now......



*Indian railway platforms are famous for their cleanliness because of lack of maintenance,but it has been always a boon for beggars to fill their empty stomach.
