I visit the city of Azaleas for the first time on a business trip. I need to find the bus- route to reach my destination. I read the bus routes-chart at a bus stop. Nothing, I can understand. Neither the language nor the routes. I am in real hurry. I think, will I ever reach my destination? Two women pass by. They look at me. Come forward and ask, "How can wehelp you?". I am surprised. I had all been thinking about being in a foreign land without any help. I thought earlier, I need to find my own ways. I had been thinking, it is not your place. But, my preconceived notions changed. Not only, Rebecca and Pamela stopped and helped me finding the bus number, its route, and timings; they also asked me, how I was? They asked me about their city and surroundings. They asked me about my city and land. They brought me to a comfort level that I thought, I can have friends, here. Then, it occurred to me. How simple the world can become if we lend a helping hand and become friends with total strangers. How amazing will it be to talk with love and care. The complex problems lie in ignoring the motivation to seek the solution than the facts to emphasize upon the problems. The solution is out there. With love and care, we can find the ultimate aim of every problem. Peace. With oneness, we can help each other to be better people. Better world. One world.
