Acquaintance

Rajvir Jhala uncle is in his 70's.
Amazing guy, who has a lot to say nowadays but fewer people to hear.
He speaks English and Gujarati only.
No Hindi. Understands a bit.
His wife is a teacher here in Indore at Kendriya Vidyalaya. They landed up here coz her sister lives in Indore.

So, the story is that in a strange town where people hardly understand your verbal language, at this age, its hard to be sit idle all day at home and do nothing.
So he decided to roam around, and while finding a place to book a ticket to his one of a trip to Mumbai for few days, he landed at our shop here.
Days n days passed. He found my younger brothers to talk. First, for booking tickets in regular, and for photocopying his wife's school work.
The verbal language barrier broke and he got a place to hang on.
Later, they became acquaintances and then finally friends.
Jhala uncle visited us twice a day to our shop.
He spoke to us about lots of stuff.
Which gave us a little idea about his past life.
His dad was an artist.
Thousands of sketches he possessed of him. Everyone speaks Gujarati there at home.

Mr. Jhala knew every book I named him. He was teaching IELTS at Gujrat.
He told me about, how people are making money there in Gujrat, by these classes. He was full of knowledge. It's amazing that we landed on such an incredible person, and got to learn so much.
He told us about his family's misunderstandings and everything about him. His past learnings.
He himself was an artist, we exchanged few books also.
He gifted us a painting.
Sadly, his wife left the job last month and they went back to Gujrat.
Few things I learned.

1. Life is big, a lot to come. Got to learn so much. Small ups n down will come. Got to stay going.

2. My belief in the universe got strong. I always believed in the law of attraction.  What u believe you will be going to get, you attract and you finally get it.
I was thinking to get someone to talk in English, just a few days before I met him, and we met.

So this is how life works,
you get what you are ready to accept.

Those were few things I wanted to share about him. So I finally did.

SUNDAY BREEZE

SUNDAY BREEZE

What if?
To be told as to say.
To be quiet as cloud lay..
The heart not too strong.
The deed be not around..

What if? I let it pass.
Finding dew in the grass..
The grass may not pray.
I pray for prey..

What if? I let it go.
Motions in the few..
To charm my life again.
The past i possess, regain..

What if? I m still alive.
The hope i revive..
Thoughts are millions.
Millions are the dreams..
To charm my life again.
I enjoy the sunday breeze..
