10 Metre Walk, Day 26/108

If anyone is happy on a full moon or a new moon, they are extra happy. If not feeling good then one might get sad. If one is irritable, then they might experience a lot of anger splurting around.

As usual, On a full moon day I am on the way to attend a group meditation so that I can set my intentional energy & mind towards forthcoming cycles.

Treading out of my building, I took a rickshaw to the station.

This is in the evening post 6:30, its drizzling. Due to surprising rains after comparatively drier day, the commotion on the road got a bit haphazard. Traffic emerged on narrower roads.

Five minutes to reaching station, I am stuck in traffic, Waiting.

With the only option to witness the world around, I peep out of my window from right to left and front. The road is jammed.

My rickshaw driver took initiative to help the traffic loosen up. I am sitting wondering looking at a world which is easy to comprehend by my decisively non penetrative mind.

Out of the right, There comes a man wearing a white t-shirt, with a black moustache till the end of his lip end points, wearing golden jewellery in his right hand and the neck. I can see him from the front glass panel of the rickshaw I am sitting in, coming towards the auto from the right side.

He came barging, hovering over a timid man, who is seemingly a rickshaw driver. He was abusing him in his language for doing something to his car, which was an inch away from our rickshaw. I instantly checked for sign if he was my rickshaw driver. This rickshaw driver was wearing unkempt loose white shirt and grey trouser. Head and eyes bowed down in surrender, ready to take the beating and let go of this encounter.

He wasn’t my rickshaw uncle. Whoever he was, He was abused and disrespected by that man, happening right in front of my eyes, at the top of his voice, triggering my own well seated aggression.

My rickshaw driver came as soon as the man stopped shouting. His comment on his behaviour was, “He is trying to show his macho-ness to his wife, Who is sitting inside and nothing has happened to his car.”

I was already furious at him. As soon as I heard that, My mind started composing bad words for him.

I took several deep breathes in.

I thought aloud to myself. What he did to the timid uncle, is done towards his own self.

And we shared a silent acceptance and moved on.
