A very ''Happy New Year''to all my friends and readers here.:) Having dealt and wrapping up with studies;I felt a raw desire to type out few words inspired from a story which I came across a few days back.
Well!! Don't get terrified I am not retelling the entire story for the story here is a trifling matter,what I found vital and worth sharing is the fact highlighted in the story.The fact-''STRENGTH OF SMALL THINGS''.
Everyone of us are equipped with things ranging from small,medium,big,large and gigantic.Things are brought ,used and after sometimes dumped.Its nothing new.Right?But have you ever noticed an old key which your grandparents or parents use to open an almirah or the trunk?If yes then have you wondered the 'strength of the key"?The strength of the key is negligible in front of your well maintained fit body which can turn bricks into dust.But then imagine a situation:-
You have your train ticket inside that almirah.You have your train at 5.30 pm.You went out of your house for some important assignment and got extremely late there.Still managing your time you head for the railway station at 4.15 pm.Suddenly you find that you have forgotten to get your ticket from the almirah.You thrust the key inside the lock .And then the key turns a bit and retreats back to its position.The lock does not open.You retry for three to four times but all your sincere efforts to open the almirah goes in vain.You then using all your strength and energy bang the almirah door which again goes futile.You twitch the key several times and alas! the key dents.By this time the clock shows 4.55 pm.One look at the clock or your wrist watch ,you ball your fist to give another bang on almirah sending two three silent prayers and promising and making deal with almighty.If by Almighty's divine grace or the old key's pity for your wrecked condition the lock opens (by chance) you retrieve the ticket and rush.Again it is completely your lucky stars if the train is late or just leaving the platform;but if you are not quite fortunate then you can see the cross mark(X) of the locomotive.
The saga of the strength of small things do not end here.It once so happened that a seven year old could not be saved because her father could not break the lock of the front door which her mother had put before going to the local market.The fire engulfed the house and the heat of the flames melted the lever of the lock making it impossible to open at that moment.Due to a small lock a precious life turned into ashes.The strength of half a dozen strong and stout men went into trash in front of the strength of a small lock.Similarly there are instances of buildings and localities catching fire due to small piece of lit cigarette thrown carelessly or short circuits.Small issues,clues,cues lead to path breaking discoveries,explorations and inventions.
Small things are firm and constant.Their all energy is converged at performing only one task and there lies their strength.
So my dear friends and readers take care of the small things you are equipped with and plan alternatives or substitutes for them .
