A sweet dawn of my village will start with the chirping sounds of birds, Cock-A-Doodle-doo emerging from the deep silence of the night. People who start their daily routine are very few. They may be the farmers who have cows to milk and sell it in the society, some farmers who have to start plough in the fields early so that the bullocks doesn’t get tired in the hot sun and some workers in the tea shops who have to start grinding the rice and other jobs early so that they will be ready with tea and snacks at 6:30 am or 7:00 am ready to be served to others who start early in the morning. Apart from this, unnoticed are the house wives who gets up early in the morning to prepare food and clean their house and premises.
Today morning, at 6:00 am, when I reached Bangalore after traveling for 6 hours from Mananthavady, I saw a different morning. Of course birds are chirping, but their sweet voices are no more audible due to many other sounds so louder then them. I alighted at the Mysore road – Ring road junction to get the city bus towards Kathriguppe junction. The traffic is very much less compared to the peak time or the other hours of the day. There I saw hundreds of trucks loaded with sand for building construction set ready for business. I saw crowds here and there, which were actually fixing the deal or fixing the price for the sand in truck measure for those who need. Perhaps the place may be more crowded with sand trucks which may have already left to different construction sites to deliver the material before the workers arrive, if I reach there little bit earlier.
These are not only the people who start their life so early in the morning. You can see thousands of ladies who work as scavengers who clean the city so early in the morning. These women will have to work till evening or beyond that and start their life again the same way next day. Taxi cab drivers as well as drivers working for the numerous industries in Bangalore also start their life so early. One another interesting thing I saw was bus conductors who works gets up early and trying to reach their work place by getting into the BMTC bus which I boarded towards Kathriguppe circle. They were more than the number of passengers in the bus. They were sharing their experience on the last day as well what to do today. Their friendship gang will be able to have a gathering like this only the next day very morning.
Some others who start their life early are the workers of tea shops who make breakfast or better call it morning tea for those described above. If I start listing the different group of citizen who starts their morning so early, it won’t end today. But I would like to talk something regarding the people who start their life late in the morning. These set of people includes me also. We start our life at 7:00 am or 8:00 am. When we walk out towards our office, if we face any difficulties due to the traffic or lack of cleanliness in public places, we start complaining. We complain about the busy traffic, we complain about the crowded BMTC buses, we complain about the auto guys for not stopping to give a lift, we complain about the rash driving of other vehicles, we complain about the government who are not providing enough infrastructure and the list goes on like that. But when we spit of litter on the public place, we never are bothered about the people who cleans it after us.
When I write about this, I would like to share something from MindTree. In the refreshing rooms of MindTree we see small cards here and there, especially near the wash basins, with the script “When we splash water, one human being is cleaning it after us, be considerate”. When we complain a lot, we are never considerate about those people who start thief life so early in the morning who does the activities which enable others to life, or we can say the enabling team. Those people never are bothered about the infrastructure problems or the traffic problems etc. They don’t complain about not having enough vehicles to commute towards thief work place. Or even if they have some complaints no body hears it in the crowd, and the strangely they are working so early when others like us sleeping and not hearing their cries.
Next time when we complain about something, think about ourselves and find out whether our deeds make us deserved for murmuring against these uncomfortable situations. Think and find out whether we have done what we can towards the solution. After all be considerate.
