Homo
sapiens, the most elite class of species, one with the sophisticated mind . We
humans being the most advanced species , both technologically and mentally, lag behind in the most general field. The way
of expression. We are the only species which uses lies more than truth, war
more than peace, and mind more than heart. That's the whole point is it? We are
given mind and capability of thinking then why to use heart. Use the mind every
time. We are fake. No other species are like us. What they are inside, they are
outside. What we are and what we show most of it is completely different. We
think one thing, say something else and do something really different than both.
But how all this is related to the title. You will understand shortly.
It
was a Friday night. Something odd has happened. Instead of going to pub, he
choose to sit and do something else. A feeling of self realization had caught
him and he felt as if he should spread it to as many as possible. He logged on
to his social networking account and started scribbling.
To,
All
my fellow homo sapiens,
Subject-
Lets live like humans
Hello!
people, I am Aarush Mehta, age 28, resident of Mumbai- the city of dreams.
Today I want to share something , something really important. If you understand
it deeply and try to reciprocate it in your life, it can create wonders. It
changed my life completely and maybe can change yours too. I won't waste your
time and come directly to point. Please read carefully. I hope you will like
it.
Monday
morning, the worst morning of the week. With Sunday night's party hang over and
eye lids weighing over a ton, no intention of lifting, I went in the bathroom
and splashed cold water on my face. Though it did some good, but I knew my
entire day will be on sleep mode. I reached office and as usual my 'pain in the ass boss' was ready to burden me with his work, while he will
just chill out roaming here and there in the office and flirting with the young
receptionist. Technically that pain in the ass was not spoken by me. My inner
self sometimes come to play and I can't control it.
Frankly
speaking I don't have any problem working, it's what I get paid for, but it's
the work of my boss which fuels me with anger and also the credit of my work
which as usual he takes and I can't do anything about it.
"Good
morning!! Aarush", My boss said."
Good morning, Sir" I greeted him back with a huge smile on my face. We human beings
are so good at faking just as giving smile to the person whom you think of 'killing with bare
hands '.
Again that wasn't me , my inner self again.
"You
seem tired
" he spoke. "
Yes sir, last night the party ended late that's why" I spoke. I thought he will
give me a day off seeing my petty situation but instead he spoke," Nothing to
worry, I have some work which will remove your tiredness and make you cheerful
again." "Okay sir as you say" I replied in despair. I went inside with him in his
cabin and stood beside him as he started showing me the files which were needed
to be completed. And my inner self came to play as usual wrong time wrong place.
' You bald man, don't
you have self respect. At least do some of your work on your own. Why does the
company pays you if your work is done by me .' I was lost in my thoughts and then I saw a
mosquito sat on his cheek just near my reach. ' Oh! I feel like I should give you a tight slap and then show
you that it was because of mosquito. Because of it , I can get a chance of
slapping you. How would you feel? How funny would it be when you will fall down
from the chair with my slap' A light smile
conquered my face imagining that and as my boss saw it, he asked why was I laughing. I didn't knew my inner self was
still in play and I hastily spoke without thinking, " I am laughing at you" I realized soon after
I spoke what a blunder I had caused. He gave me 'What did you said look'. I mentally cursed my inner self for the
situation it had put me into and tried to think a way to get out. I cunningly
said," Slip of
tongue, sir"
and continued,"
I am happy because your task indeed is making me cheerful, just by listening
only".
He gave me satisfied look and turned back to explaining the work . 'Slip of tongue, my foot ' My inner self again. I said
'Shut Up' to my inner self and came
back to my senses and tried to understand what my boss wanted me to do.
After
showing me my ' to make me cheerful again work', when I was about to leave the cabin, he called me and said," Aarush , don't
forget, meeting at 2 in the meeting room. We are going to pitch our new idea
among our team. If they like it , then we will call the head office about
it." I
tried to control my feelings and said,"
Sure boss". ' Our idea? It
was my idea , I pitched it to you, worked hard on it for months and that I will
pitch as your idea to the team.' I told my inner self to
shut up for a while and let me do my work. I went to my desk and got so
engrossed in my work that I didn't knew I skipped my lunch and it was almost 2
pm. I cursed my boss and got ready for the meeting . 'Got ready' means
preparing my inner self to control its emotions for a while till the meeting
ends.
The
meeting started and my boss as usual told the team that he had told everything
about the idea to me and explained the presentation too and that I will pitch
his idea. All looked at me and I gave them a blank look. Inside I was boiling
with anger, I controlled myself and started the presentation. The meeting ended
and all were impressed by the idea and it was fixed that it will be pitched
infront of the delegates from our head office for final approval before
implementation. I packed my things and just as I was about to leave the meeting
room, a sweet voice called my name.
I knew who was she and turned around. There
she was standing looking resplendent as always with a slight smile on her face.
Aakruti Mehra, my fellow colleague, my friend and my crush. She don't know
anything about my feelings as I couldn't gather enough courage to tell anything
to her. Rather I lack words whenever I speak to her . I was completely lost in
her and maybe my mouth might be searching for words to speak. Instead my inner
self came to play and commented harshly,' Close
your mouth, your feelings are falling on the ground'. I immediately came back to
my senses and greeted her.
She
came to me and congratulated me. I gave her a confusing look and told that," It was not my
idea".
She told instantly, " I know who knows how much and who can think of such
things."' That's why I am
falling for you' told my inner self. She continued," Apart from that I saw you working hard these
last few months and I know it was your idea. So Mr. Aarush show your smartness
somewhere else." 'Omg!!
you do notice me, among all only you understand me, I love you .' my love guru inner self came
again to play. I gave her a smile and told her thanks and choose to leave from
there before my inner self makes me do any blunder like morning. I told her I
have some unfinished work and so left the meeting room.
In
the evening , I went to vent my frustration at marine drive. I usually go there
for some peace . It feels good seeing the sea and forgetting some things for
some time. It is also the place where i actually listen to what my inner self
says and as usual I took some and ignore most of the things. I sat there for
quite a long time and listened to my inner self's complaints. I know myself
that most of the things which my inner self tells are true and I should follow
it, but this world is very much sophisticated. You should think of everyone's else
except you and speak after thinking of all the consequences it can create.' This is not the life I want', my inner self finally
spoke. I sat in the car and before leaving,
I thought of my boss and my crush Aakruti and murmured,"
I wish I can change my life and tell everyone what I feel without
hesitation." and started driving. My eyes fell on the falling star which
I saw in my car's side glass and changed the music to get lost in it, without
thinking anything further.
To be continued.............
Filled with more drama and emotions, See Aarush's life take twists and turns , Part-2 coming soon.
