I started from my home to attend the classes of first day in the University. Wore a new dress, stylish shoes. I did not know the way to that University. Somebody gave the directions, so started walking.

 

I saw a very old woman, skin hanging from all sides. I hated to see that view. As I was adult, I liked all colorful and youthful scenes. She came near me and stretched her hand for paisa. I said with irritation "get lost". Walked further.

 

Previous night we had big rain shower. So when I kept my foot at one muddy place, I experienced my foot rooted into the mud. I couldn't take out, all others r crossing that muddy place by jumping on the little rocks placed.

 

A boy came forward, took my hand and helped me in taking out my foot and cossing the muddy way. But my foot was painted by mud. I got tears. My stylish shoe...I had to go to the college.

 

Then came the old woman in front of me. She gave her water in an alluminium vessel. I know if I use it she will loose her drinking water. Looking at my hesitation, she said "beti...I will get that water somewhere else. use it".

 

Then I didn't feel anything bad when I touched that dirty vessel and use it to clean dirt on my foot. When I looked at her again, I didn't feel hatred, this time surprisingly that ugly old woman appeared to my eyes very known beautiful woman.

I took out a rupee and tried to give it to her. But she refused to take and said "I m not expecting money for this water. Next time U can give when I m empty stomuch". I felt shy and moved ahead.

 

Any how I reached college in time. Philosophy professor entered the class. Started teaching "Accept Life as it is". After some time I felt very much bored.

 

Stood up and asked "how long can I accept life as it is? I don't want to ruled by somebody even if it is God. So plz suggest some period, I m ready to accept until that time."

 

The Prof stared at me for few secs and smiled and said "Take a ball. Throw it to sky. As long as it returns to U, U have to accept it".

 

Classmates laughed but I took it as a challenge. Everyday I m practicing to throw the ball up and up into the sky.

 

 I hope at one day my ball will certainly reach nearby planet and a friend in that planet will take it and will not throw it back. On that day I will certainly show to the world that I m correct and will stop accepting the life as it is.

 

 Plz ... don't disturb me. I m in ball practice session.
