Today evening on my way back
home, at a heavy and noisy traffic junction, I saw a very rare scene. It was a
Traffic policeman wearing a rain coat, who was directing the traffic with a smile on his face. He and the rain shared the curse of all the people in a radius of 500 meters. Both were equally helpless. I
was so much carried away by that man’s attitude. I couldn’t take my eyes off
him. Actually if it was a little more peaceful situation, I’d surely go up to
him and appreciate his attitude. I totally believe that a true smile is the
best way to keep you in a good mood.
A smile is probably one of the
simplest of cures for anything in this world such as broken confidence, broken
dreams, and even a broken heart. I have almost lost count of how many times I
have looked into the mirror and just smiled at myself, and how it has worked to
get me out of a bad mood. At the end of it, you become so infected by your own
smile, you wish the reflection you are seeing in the mirror were an actual
person and you could hug that person and thank him for being so nice to you!
Watching someone smile is
contagious, and you almost involuntarily tend to smile back at the person you
saw smiling. Let anything be the situation, that man wasn’t handling an easy
job there. He was dealing with infinite number of people who by any means just wanted
to reach home before it’s too late. This man, the policeman, who might have
been standing there for the whole day will be having the same thought in mind
as well. But I’m sure that that smile would have released at least some thumbs off
the horn button.
Anyways, my salute to that man in
uniform for the attitude he carried…
Keep calm and......
