too busy

suddenly rattan appeared in front of me

with folded hands and radiant face

and asked for keys of the new vehicle to be transported to rampur showroom

125 kms from shimla towards china.

---

vindi was sitting right in front of me

boasting about his daring mischieves and misadventures

---

95 year old sandhu uncle (grandfather of my earlier landlord)

so politely welcomed me into the house

when i went there to hand over the monthly rental

---

rajesh impressed me with his answers

and i immediately recommended him to my c.e.o.

to be recruited as finance executive

---

jerry barked at me when i went to himanshu's house

---

little did i realise that rattan was about to meet with an accident in 5 hours!

little did i realise that vindi's foot would have to be amputated 1 month after i last met him!

little did i realise that sandhu uncle would breathe his last that night!

little did i realise that rajesh would accidently kill someone and be jailed for life!

little did i realise that jerry would breathe his last by the next sunday!

---

we are always too busy to realize

that we may not be realizing

the must-be-realized!
