We work a lot for our whole life. We work more and more to bring in better living, to accomplish all our desire, to heighten our living standard. Then comes a time when we start developing a kind of sophistication in us. We start developing a habit of likes and dislikes in everything. We may not like some food while eating in some hotel. We may pay money for left food and let them throw away in front of us. At that point of time do we ever recall the face of people who are dying every year because of famish! Do we really remember the wishes of a kid who could not be able to fulfill his / her dream of studying while we spend lot of money for alcohol or smoking! Perhaps not or perhaps we don’t want to remember these things as we think that remembering these things will spoil our happy mood or perhaps we really don’t care about these things or perhaps we fear of remember this.
I was standing outside a hotel after placing my meal parcel order and waiting for my food. I was just passing my time by observing people around the hotel. There I saw a group of people, ladies, gents and kids, near to the hotel. They seem to be villager from their appearances. One of the elderly members of the group came to the hotel with a kid with him. While he asked if Dal Wati (An economical local food) is available with them, the kid with him was constantly observing some of the roasted full chicken hanging near the tandoor. By pointing finger over those chicken pieces, that kid said “Baba, I want to eat these chickens”.
The father took a wet look over the coins & currency in his hand, replied, “Beta, apan kal murga khaiange (We will eat these chickens tomorrow). I don’t know what thought process was going on in the mind of that father. Would he be thinking of working harder tomorrow to bring some big-ticket food for his kid or it is just he was trying to cozen the kid by shifting his desire on tomorrow. The waiter, during all these thought wrestling, told the father that they don’t have Dal Wati kind of food with them and they would get this at some dhaba near the station…The family went from there while that kid still looking at those hanging roasted chicken, in a hope in his beautiful woolgathering eyes that tomorrow his dad will definitely purchase chicken and he would not have to eat the same Dal Wati again…
