Faith for Today | Fuel for Tomorrow
#musings
This evening, as I was driving back home, I chanced upon this moving sight in the Bangalore Highway. A gentleman was holding a bulky LPG Cylinder - wedged securely between his knees resting it on top of the petrol tank of his two-wheeler!
Although at first glance, it looks like an ordinary LPG cylinder, yet in these testing times (due to the US-Iran conflict), it has become a much-in-demand necessity!
In contrast to the LPG cylinder in the front, I also saw the parcel meal from a hotel, hanging in the rear hook of the bike – for the night’s sustenance, suspended in a thin strip of polythene bag!
Testing times, when the barest necessities of life become the rarest of luxuries!
But I’m sure he seems to have this little faith in him!
Only for tonight, he would have to adjust with the hotel’s parcel.
Tomorrow, there would be fire back at home!
I am so reminded of the lovely lines of Nobel Laureate Tagore,
Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark!
