Thoughts of my conscience!

Almost once every week that I see someone on the road asking for lift. Not sure if everyone comes across this or I travel in such roads where people do not hesitate taking lifts. Oh by the way these are all men, of course women won’t or can’t ask lift from a stranger when even regular cabs aren't safe for them.. how will they trust strangers..!

So coming back to me seeing some strangers asking for lift.. my heart tells me to stop my vehicle and drop that person in need. But my mind says NO, you might get into trouble. I have heard many stories around people getting hurt or looted when they give lift to strangers. I being a paranoid person can’t stop thinking of those scenarios happening to me.

So every time I see someone looking for a drop, I look at him and almost wanting to stop but just flee away. And the whole way all I could think is did I do wrong by not helping someone in need, what if that person was in urgent need of drop. Then my brain takes over asking what if that person had a weapon and had bad intentions behind asking lift.

I felt guilty every time I did not stop and help someone who wanted lift, then came a fine day when this small boy on a flyover was looking for lift.. Without listening to my brain I just stopped blindly. Spoke to him about his school and exams while on the way and dropped him. I felt GOOD! I mean if we live in a society where we are scared to help others in need what kind of living is that.

I felt being optimistic is the only key to stay and be happy. You have a hope for the future if you can keep up your optimism. When I got the smile back from the kid after dropping there was hope that not everyone is bad. I should continue to be helping positively. 

One other example I would like to recall here is, there was this girl whom I just knew from social media. She needed a place to crash at night as her train was reaching Bangalore late at night. I offered her to stay over at my place and she obliged. No big deal right? When my friend called me that night and I mentioned about this situation to her, she yelled at me saying if I am out of my mind calling a stranger to stay at home. It’s not that she is a bad person but she is SCARED. But this incident gave me a friend who I like to talk with. And makes me be optimistic about making new friends. After all friends are a strangers at the beginning.

Thanks to https://housing.com/lookup that made be recall and share these incidents with you all.

With this all I am saying is let’s try to do good deeds on every day basis and reinstate trust in each other.

Life made easy with e-commerce sites!

Those days are gone when my family used to head out every month to shop groceries for home. Stocking up all the essentials for a month was very important. When I say family, mostly Mom used to go and get these with the huge list she made. I or my brother would accompany some times when we weren't feeling too lazy. But still it so used to happen, that we miss getting one or two items or its obvious few items would get over in middle of the month. Those are the days I curse as Mom used to ask either bro or me to go get them. 

With our busy schedules now it’s very hard to take out time for grocery shopping, once a month is fine but not every now and then. Or say vegetables and fruits shopping which we cannot stock up for more days.  Also we couldn't expect mom to go out every time to buy things. As a solution came e-commerce websites which allows the grocery shopping with so much ease.

My Inspiration!

We have all heard from our teachers or leaders say that we should work in a team to get better results. Team work is good but in life you will have to do most of the things on your own. It is you who can help yourself achieve what you want. But I personally feel it is good to have someone with us in that journey to talk to or #lookup to. So here is my story on the same thought for www.housing.com.

I have been a good student who scored more than average marks in school and got into good colleges without any major hurdles. I’m also favorite kid to parents who is good in sports and cultural activities too. Now I have got a good job through which I’m leading a decent livelihood.
But if I just pause and think through, there are so many instances where in I always had my brother playing a major role inspiring me or just being there as my support system.
