Palli Vizhaadha Palan...

May 16, Wednesday, 03.45 PM

I am sitting in the accounts department of a soft drink manufacturing plant, waiting for the client representative. The guy is testing my patience. I have been waiting for almost an hour now. The thoughts of traveling for 2.5 hours to reach home and having to come again tomorrow, make me feel more uncomfortable.

I feel sick about having to wait, waste time, and work late for no fault of mine. Why should I work like this waiting for people? Why don’t I just go on to do what I want without having to wait for other people?

With these thoughts lingering in my mind, I start looking around the room. My eyes suddenly strike this little fellow.



I remember seeing this lizard at the same place this morning. It has been sticking on to the same place for all this time without moving a muscle. What is he doing there all day long? Who is he waiting for?

Yes…it strikes me now. He’s sticking on because he just has to stick on. He has to stick on to that wall to exist, not to fall till he learns the art of crawling.

Me too..
