A beautiful Wednesday morning with a cloudy sky and sun peeping out of the clouds .It was like another day getting ready for the work and to drop my kid to his childcare .
Sometime life’s simple things influences our lives.. Travelling in train during office hours is always a big task especially when you have a kid sitting in a stroller and people in the train love to just glued to wherever they are standing and don’t even want to mention about those who are sitting .They deliberately close their eyes , pretend to be asleep as if this the first chance they ever got to sleep in their life.
Everyday when i am waiting at the platform to board the train ,everyone will give a glance” There is no space in the train ..why don’t you just board the next train and we can’t move as we are too busy playing games , listening music ,messaging.
Probably somewhere they forgot that train is a public transport and not a private property where trespasser are not allowed. If you are too audacious and just board it , there will not be a single minute where people won’t show the discomfort they are getting because of a kid.
Keep everything aside everyday I am happy to board the train and time just flies talking to my kid and here comes our station and we took a breath of comfort to reach the place…
Even platforms are no different from the trains during office hours they looks like as if people have just evacuated and everyone is just running to reach the office..
We are waiting near the lift to come so that we can push our stroller into the lift and reach childcare on time.
but wait…. 1st time lift comes— everyone is too adventurous they will jump from the wheels of your stroller into the lift and you stand there waiting for the lift
wait again… this time we are standing just next to the lift door and sure we will definitely get into the lift but this time people are too smart they just get into the lift from the one level up ..to come down and then go up to the street level..
Just thought for a second these people otherwise don’t have time to go up by the escalator but they can just play around in the lift .
Oh God ! What to do …………
Somewhere in my heart I felt we are so blessed to climb the stairs or escalator as there is this man who is on his wheelchair everyday waiting helplessly until someone is too generous to give him the way into the lift.
I was so touched with this guy when he raised his voice at the people in the lift.. ” You all just go one level up and board the lift , what about this man who is waiting for the lift here helplessly..Just think once !” Even then people were so shamelessly standing in the lift and murmuring with each other but believe me no one even moved out of the lift to give the way . ..
Well ! They all are well educated people and can read “When it is written everywhere that lift is for handicap and people with a pram !! “
and lastly I just decided to fold the stroller and climb the stairs with my kid..
This everyday instances in the life sometime leave an impression on your heart that why people never realize everyone is not blessed to have a wonderful life and why don’t they thank God for that healthy life and they too were kids and will have their own kids one day..
Have a good Day !
Absolutely agree with u Pooja.. it happens almost everytime we go out with the stroller.. People hardly wait to give way to them.. it's seems like an endless wait to get into the lift at times.. thanks for sharing ur experience and feelings with all of us.. 🙂
