We were studying in the computer lab at around midnight. After spending quite some time there, we started discussing and gossiping. At that time, a security person came in with an attendance register. He also had a pen for us to make entries. Seeing him, we became serious and got back to our studies. That tired security guard would be spending most part of his days and nights for a few thousand of rupees, whose major part he would send back to his far away village to support his family and parents.
This was not the only time I was confronted with the harsh realities of life. My wife went many steps ahead of me. Once she returned back from a movie theatre saying she didn’t have the heart to spend 200 bucks for 2 hours of show after she saw so many poor manual laborers toiling to build a road.
Who needs lectures in motivation, when we have so many real occasions to take inspirations from?
