Life is simple. are we complicating it??

Life as it is, is very simple. it is we who complicate it with our own feelings, expectations and understandings !! one beautifull example for this is an incident in my trip to chittagong. after crossing the border with all necessary documentation, i reached the Akoura railway station with an idea of catching the chittagong train. It was so crowded that i could not buy a ticket to chittagong. I approached the booking office through side entrance and was informed that there is no ticket to chittagong...Left stranded, i saw a local passenger train arriving the station. with my very little Bengali i understood that it is a local passenger train and takes more time to go to a place called COMILLA from where i thought i can take a bus. as the ticket counter ( only one was working on that day ) was too crowded, i just entered a compartment and got a very comfortable seat. as said above, here i complicated my beautifull journey... it was such a beautifull trip full of lush green farmlands, nice landscapes and wonderfull evening reminding me of the song, " pon maalai poluthu " ... as the train moved after a long stay, i just noticed the arrival of complications... the ticket examiner along with two railway policemen, was checking for tickets with every one... i just smiled to myself and decided to wait until he came near... first the policeman came and asked for ticket in Bengali... i simply said in English, " Sir, i want one to comilla !! " the examiner just collected 10 TAKA from me and allowed me to continue the journey ............... so .... moral of the story ...........

  1. True. Many times, the events we dread don't even happen. But the mind keeps focusing on the improbable difficulties. :)
