A Train which took the blessings!!
Hiiiii pals my name is alfred and
I am a driver of a vehicle which is used
in areas where almost every moment there
is a possibility of a bullet hitting you. Yes it’s a "no man’s land” zone or
you can say a zone where no one is right or wrong or may be everyone is wrong
but the fact is that, as the job is demanding so are the risks involved with
it. My wife is new to this culture and she is scared whether I would make it to
home this time when I get leave. Ah! the problem is leave is not guaranteed or
it is not a right but a privilege, my boss says so..:(:( I really wanted to go
home but my boss is equally in a very difficult situation, though nice at
heart; and it is not his fault that he is not able to give me leave. Irony is
that, he has some important work at home and he has requested me to hold my leave
until he is back. As the new boss is new to location and due to my exposure I
know the critical routes which would be important for lot of tasks in his
absence. I do understand the intensity of the situation but who would explain
my family at home, small kid Ronald has not seen my face yet, and I am now
starting to believe that we are expected to be super humans and do some tasks
which many people do not know ( not their fault at all..:)) I am being
emotional but honestly I am missing my loved ones a lot. Sometime bullet is not
what I am scared of but the fact that who would look after my family and old
parents if bullet does hit my vehicle?. In the middle of all this; time has come
to drop my boss to railway station where luckily he would board a train to his
native town You
know what?, that TRAIN would also cross my native town. I have told my wife to
come to the station and imagine that I have come and guess what pals!, I would
touch the train from here and give my love and blessings to my wife and son. They
would receive it through this train which would take my blessings all the way,
and this way may be very trivial for some, but for me I hope I am able to
shower my love to them. All they have to do is to touch the engine of the train
on which I touched through my hands and gave them blessings. Even though money
exists as ATM card is with my family but
guess this happiness is beyond dollars and much more for them. As I bid adieu I
hope she understands my situation and the TRAIN does take my blessings all the
way!!!!. (Next day) The train did reach my hometown, and she did come with my
kid, she touched the engine, gave me a
call and said in broken tone “ she got the blessings and she would wait for my
leave eagerly”, moisture in my eyes I politely said “ surely, you take care”.
very well expressed...heart touching :)
