Aspiration Infinite Story/Incident.
It was late 2010, I went to watch a movie at a town it’s a big commercial movie. I have taken a seat in balcony because of the massive crowd in middle & lower seats arrangement. In the interval I saw the guy who sits with his spouse a kid, very next to the top businessman of the town who is also came to watch it with his family. Movie was awesome but my second half was gone in thinking about the story of this guy I saw (“Kalu” a rickshaw puller), how a small dream of this guy makes him sit next to a rich guy of the town.
He might opt to sit in the lower part and save Rs.150 instead of paying extra for balcony. But he wants his spouse and kid to sit comfortable in balcony and enjoy the time, far from the masses in lower area. After the movie he took his spouse and kid back to home on Rickshaw.
He might have saved this hard-earned wage of that day but he chose for happiness of family for 3 hours, unknowingly the fact he had chance to sits next to the Rich man of the town, and even no one noticed or care about it. But he become the king for that moment, because the Movie entertainment is one of the leisure and luxuries activity and when someone coming from that background, he/she might think to save money with the option available or else spend it for any other thing, but he wants to gave best to his family. Believe me coming from a middleclass family, the first movie I watch in theatre was almost after or in my 12th standard with my friends.
This is incident is small but showcase an unexceptional attitude of a common man, which separates him from the masses. I believe with this positive thinking towards life, he definitely make his children’s life better.
An effort to present a story/incident, which is thought provoking.
