I don't know

Making a local connection India

Everytime, when I close my eyes it always hits me back and reminds me who I am. I watched steve jobs movie in 2018 and after watching that movie. I also went for a travel tour locally. If he gets clarity in his life then why don't get any clarity. So I decided to go to ' Meghalaya' a northern unexploredstate of India. A took a flight from Indore and reached Guwahati, Shillong. Before reaching everything for me was materialistic until I met my cab driver, Raza. The person with glowing face and happiness always on his face whether the time is 12 am or 12 pm. You always see him smiling. I wonder how could a person could be happy so much. Then he helped me explore the places,drive to cherrapunjee and sightseeing was so beautiful and heartly. But after one incident happened which changed my life and I truly met myself when I visited Double decker route bridge trek. 3500 stairs down in between the mountains where you find a village who daily go 3500 stairs upstairs and down. And when I met the people their they are the most happiest person, football fileds in between mountains, always smiling people, happiness all around. You could always find a cat with them . Their traditional dance, love for football. Like us Messi and Ronaldo are their idols. Where there is no reach of network they go 3500 stairs upstairs just to watch them I think they are true fans of any celebrity. Carrying 50 kg on his back coming to city by passing so much hurdles and again they always smiling. And a person I am who has everything but not happy with his life why? Because I never the importance of people,time and myself. So that day was amazing and night appears while returning. And in night I was too exciting what I will do tomorrow what will be the new places and people. In morning and while looking from my hotel room window I was greeted by many people their who doesn't belong to hotel. And they became the reason of happiness for that day. We reached at the India-Bangladesh border through Dawki river. I was little nervous because what if we crossed the river and become immigrant such thoughts were in my mind. But when we reached at zero point I was amazed people were helping each other without any hatred and smiling. Two countries divided by borders but united by hearts. Then we reached at cleanest village of Asia clean by everything and by heart also. Their I saw a person crying in whole Meghalaya . And I tried to talk to him and language barrier stopped me because we don't each other's language but we only know that the language of heart. So i decided to help him by giving some money but he didn't accept any money from me. Then I got to know that he need some medicine for his grandchildren which you only can find in Shillong so I decided to help him instead of going hotel room I went to Shillong with my cab driver. We purchased medicines and returned to Maysnram the time was almost 8-9 hours completed. But at last we helped him and the crying soul of thet person started smiling which made my cry the happiness of tears I could feel in myself. I couldn't sleep at night because of the happiness and love received from that person. Then I returned to school next day I reached airport hugged my friend ' Raza'. And back in flight and when the flight takes off it met too much turbulence. Which made me realise that today could be your last day. But i don't know I was happy I live at fullest. I made others smiling and I was thinking all. And the flight touched the ground and I was at my city airport everything was fine. Last one question always remained in mind and one answer. Did I made a connection with people and know myself did i made other happy. And my answer is always ' I Don't know'.
