The World Never Stops

Have you ever just stood by the side of the road and as a normal pedestrian observed what is going around?

Well I would say that if you want to give a dose of awakening to some friend from their self obsession slumber, it is a very modest exercise.

In each one of our lives, we are our own protagonist. We are our biggest competitors, each time trying to outdo our performance. At the same time, we think that the world revolves around us and only us. We are the epicenter of the earth’s rotation. We are the gravity holding things at the places where they should be!

You might think that if your certain issue is not resolved, the world will collapse! But no, there is still going to be activity around you. There are still going to be hundreds of people driving on the roads. Millions of birds crossing nations.

When we stand at some corner of the road, we think of our problems, our issues that need urgent looking into. But, for once, forget yourself and try to look around. Open your eyes to the world. Keep your cell phone aside and just look at the world with new eyes!

The world, my dear friends, never stops!

It will amaze you how in a matter of minutes you can observe the world revolving around you. Without you controlling it! :P

We think that there is nothing more important than what we have to do! No place important to go to than our own destination!

Interestingly, this is not just your story or mine. It is the story of everybody!

You will see each individual tending to his own self! One pushing his bicycle while the other on his tricycle. A rich busy businessman sitting on the backseat of his car while a lone rider listening to FM. A strict looking lady driving with ultimate purpose or a feeble lady struggling with the weight of her scooter.

Isn’t it amazing to just imagine that each of these living bodies around us have stories related to them? Just like us? Each of these faces in the crowd is a person with a solid existence! How easy it is to disregard all these beings and only focus upon our goals!

The world never stops though! Not for you, not for me…

But then how is it that we know the life stories of iconic personalities like Sonia Gandhi, Sachin Tendulkar and even Shahrukh Khan?

Well, because these people rose from being just another face in the crowd to people who made a difference in their lives as well as ours!

The fact is, we live in the Milkyway, with a surface area of billions of square kilometers. And what fraction do we occupy on this huge area? That much math is way out of my potential!

The next time you travel in an airplane, make sure you look down. You won’t be able to spot even your house! Then what big shot are we?

Our existence is questionable if we fail to leave a mark… A mark that shines as bright as the Sun and is visible across four galaxies…

You may be the hero in your own lives. But, stop, think… Does being a hero in the lives of thirty count enough to you?

Take a look around, the world would have stopped for you the moment you capture the hearts of millions! When every element on the planet would be chanting your name…

Wait for your moment… But don’t let the world get the better of you because it never stops!
