Journey is short

Journey is short

P K Routray

Often

incidents happen,

each teaching a lesson

worthy for implementation

to make the life  full of fun.

An incident I narrate for you

from a railway journey that usually we do

In one such journey this incident occurred

Two passengers unknown to each other entered

occupied seats adjacent to each other.

One of them had loads spilling over.

She kept a part on the lap of her neighbor

without bothering to get a nod from her.

I saw the suffering lady was smiling without a
question.

I could not but murmur at her to oppose it with
aggression.

Smiled the lady with calm composure

told me “ My stay is short, I can this thus
bear

Next station I will get down

to break the peace I do not want to frown.”

Yes all we are together for short duration

next station is our destination.

We can bear others load for a while

making peace with sweet smile.
