Strangers

Sometimes the things that we don't even bother about makes a big difference or for that matter
can bring a smile on our face which itself is a big thing for me.
Some people come in our life unknowingly and we don't even bother to know them but still they become
a part of our daily life.
I have two such unknown strangers in my life.
One is not a stranger for me but, being in a city (Chennai) where I don't even know the local
dialect, it is tough to get on with people who don't know other languages, is my maid.
She knows only Tamil and I don't know a single word of Tamil.
I don't know her name. She comes everyday in our(me and my room mates) absence and do the cleaning and give back the keys
to the watchman. She is a total stranger for us as we have no idea who she is, from where she is.
We only know how does she look and that is it and still we trust her completely.

The other one is a total stranger. We know only one thing about him that he is an auto driver.
I don't know when and how it started but one day when we left our home at around 7.30 in the morning,we took this random
auto (the way we do everyday. We take an auto from our house to the local railway station to catch our train) and that was it
for us. We got down at the railway station and we forgot about him.
Incidentally,next day also we got the same auto.
And now it is a routine. We have never asked him to come in the morning and drop us at the railway station.
We have never spoke to him except on the first day when we told him about our destination, we don't know who he is,
but still everyday he comes in the morning and without uttering a single word he drops us at the railway station.
Isn't that strange?
We actually have got connected to him in someway.

This is actually a small thing. For some it would be a kind of crap but everyday when we see that same old aged auto driver
it actually brings smile on our face.


For me life is nothing but a way to see happiness in whatever we see and whatever we do.
