This is a super crazy incident which happened, not with me, but with my super awesome and dazzling bright mom. To me even the smallest incident that she narrates to me is blog post-perfect. Back in "her time", stuff was so simple that today, it complicates us-- people who are so terribly tangled in webs of lies and problems; always in a state of pandemonium-- and we find it hard to believe the simplicity of the solution to problems that would have driven us mad. That is what is so amazing about the generation which is just one step behind us, but ahead of us in every field; let it be stamina, sharpness of mind or the ability to make a joke out of everything. They are the perfect old-school generation.
So. My mother was going to Vaishno Devi, probably the best place for all the devotees, and a dream-place for many as well. She was accompanied by her all time bestie-brother. The journey to this sanctified place is best enjoyed in the services of the Indian Railways. There is something so jovial and bouncy about the trains of India. My mother encountered the "awesomeness" of the technical beauty of the train. She was supposed to sleep in the upper berth. "Do I have to?", she groaned, as she climbed up the three step ladder on the side. "Just do it. You won't remember any of it once we reach our destination" She sat up with a start right after the moment she had laid down. "Bhai, there is a CFL which gives out white and bright fluorescent light hovering right above my face! What am I going to do??" she complained. "Break it", he said After a thought, she said, "You do it. I don't know how to do it" Just the perfect reply coming from a person with 100% common sense. He was to sleep in the adjacent upper berth. He simply stretched out his arm, with a phone in his hand and slammed hard. My mom collected the shards and threw them away. "Their fault," he explained the next day "Who puts a light bulb right above your head?" "Yeah", agreed my mom as she sipped her morning tea. I think that this way of thinking is not ridiculous but indeed remarkable. They do what is to be done. They don't calculate what will happen later on. They aren't worried about the next ten events that will take place. Do the right thing, live the best life!
