It's all about the cycle.
Human-society-city-nation-civilization.
The flowchart could be anyway. But, the question here is these cycles put huge questions ahead of us to which no one has answers to. I am asking these questions from long. Today i share them too, as they stared en face! I also share this, as i would like to share an incident.
I left from work and was waiting for a public conveyance. I waited on the main road for about 25 minutes. I wasn't alone. There were about 7-8 people. Some stood before than i, and some joined later. We all got refused by autos one after the other. Cos we were not ready to pay the luxury fares demanded by them.
We have all accepted this as a part of life and we all learn to live with it. I don't know what would have i done if, what happened had not happened.
From what i remember, it was approx. the 9th auto which drove by and was about to leave, when i refused to pay him double the amount. That very moment, two other guys who had been waiting at the same place, came infuriated and stopped the driver. One of them asked me to get in the auto authoritatively. I was unsure at first but then, it felt like a movement for that particular moment. The driver was upset and he did not want to take me. But, the two guys mentioned the new rule and they forced him to take me and warned him to file a complaint against him. I could see that the frustration had to do with more than today's incident. As their anger spoke more of the scenario in the city. The driver was helpless and he had to let me sit.
I could not help the cribbing of the driver on the way, about the rocketing CNG prices and the jams. I do not know if they are completely wrong when they blame the 'increase in the prices of fuel' for their in genuine demands. I was angry and upset myself but, i had no one to blame.
It took a grave incident to enrage the whole nation, to shake the whole city. New rules have been implied. Older rules have been reactivated from dormancy. In one day i saw people who wanted to stand up for a stranger, and i also saw a man who just had to make money for the day.
I still don't have my answers but, all i shall take with me is that, every time the humanity is shaken, a new city takes birth. A place with new rules.
And then, how i reached home today, is another story.
