LIFE.. D. E. C. O. D. E. D

Let it Out Let It Go...

This incident happened only a year ago...

I was crossing the road, to catch a auto rikshaw (A three seater commute like taxi in India). Wanted to go home asap.. 🏡

As I crossed the road, there was a rickshaw standing just ahead of me.. I was happy I finally found one! 😅Weekdays and rush hours its really a task to find a rick!! 😜 He looked in his late 40ies and exhausted. I told him the address where I wanted to go and off we went.

On the way I spoke to him very calmly where to turn and avoid signals and traffic.. He started talking about traffic jam!. Unbelieveable that the potholes in Mumbai are sometimes deliberately made or sometimes not even filled on time which is why there is traffic. 😱😱😱😱😱😳😳

He started complaining about the roads, the government, about inflation, about the fuel price hike. 😓

He was completely frustrated and started saying about his life. He has spent more than 20 years being an auto driver and using the little that he earns to fulfill his living.. ☹️

He is still continuing to earn his living with this, so that his children get a better future. He was also explaining how sometimes goverment plans discourages him and wishes he had a say.. 😔

I was patiently listening to him till the end of our journey, nodding and giving my views about the same and how he could try to make things better for him and his family..

At the end of the journey, I gave him cash and I said take care. This is what he told me..

"Thank you maam for listening to me. I really wanted someone to talk and guide me. I know you are younger to me like almost the age of my son but due to work pressure I never really had time to interact with my friends or family. You as a stranger have really helped me. Not only did you listen to my crap you also guided me.. Thank you.." 😊

I said.. I am glad I could help.. 👼🏻

Friends there are many times you get frustrated or you feel like emotionally unstable. You tend to remove it out somewhere or on someone. I suggest the best solution is to talk it out. Yes it really helps!! 😁Tell a person about your problems with whom you are most comfortable to share with and just talk it out and LET IT GO!! Find a solution and just don't hold back regrets. It will save you time, money and tears.. 😎👍🏻

"LIFE IS A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY OF PROBLEMS ONLY IF YOU HOLD ON TO IT FOREVER.. LET IT OUT AND LET IT GO.. " 😇
