Day 6-Writing challenge "The little boy next door"

Sometimes probably favors done without any expectation or a smile from a stranger when you are heading back from a long day's work or probably an act of kindness just makes you feel lighter and probably this is what i felt a few days back.

I stay in a community here and after a long day,when i got back i was tired, kinda irritated. Probably the monotony in life, had made me like that. I got freshened up and just stepped out to sit in the patio.

I saw a little one playing in the community garden. It was weird, to see him sitting in a corner, looking at the ground. I observed him, probably for ten minutes then couldn't stop myself,so walked towards him and asked him."Hey there! ,what you looking at?" and he looked at me and said,"Hey! can you see those ants?, they all are going in a straight line!I just smiled and said "Oh yes, they are!." Probably i spent the next 1 hour with him doing absolutely nothing, but only staring those.The way he looked at it, popping his eyes out, everything he used to touch, feel, and those wondering eyes everything made me feel one thing. The way he looked at the world was totally different.

The next five days i made sure i came back early and spent some time with him. Some times we played together, sometimes we just spent staring at the smallest of things.I learned a lot of things those five days, or i may say, that i experienced, a new way of looking at the life.

As a kid  we all told our dreams loudly, ate food making noise, dressed possibly with the weirdest of combinations, played all day, not bothered about the high heels, parlors, and looked at the world with big eyes.Everything seemed possible, we could be a doctor,engineer and a dancer ,all of those at the same time. Always made time for friends birthdays. We laughed loudly, hugged soulfully and cried wholeheartedly.Those wondering eyes,the amazed look and curiosity in every single thing,made me feel i was not looking at the life in the right sense.

Yes, i found the answers why i had become irritated in life, it was not because of the monotony in life, but the monotony in the way i looked at my life. Life is to be lived and experienced. So today get rid of those red lipsticks, blush-on's, high heels, leather bags and those plastic smiles from premolar to premolar, and put on some casuals, untie your hair, let those pink lips smile, natural cheeks glow in the sun and lay back and observe, experience life and get amazed like a kid.
