In childhood, everyone is asked a question by most of the people.. "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
And everyone had a different answer, some want to be doctor, some say engineer, some say actor and blah blah blah.... Even i was asked this question many times, and everytime i had a different answer. Different answer because, what i really wanted to be was never taken seriously by anyone. And most of people don't understand the gesture even today.
I wanted to be a Santa Claus. Not that i wanna have a big tummy, a huge white beard but to be there for everyone. Even though Santa is a fantasy, i really wished if i could be someone like that. Isn't it great that there is a person who could be there for everyone, who could just bring smiles on the face of people around him, not thinking about the ROI (Return on investment), which used to be business term but now is a part of every single relationship a person have in his life. i really wanted to live that way and i tried. But being Santa is not easy as i thought. People are always doubting, thinking that i might take advantage of their helplessness in future. I may mock them, for being helpless in coming days. The fun is that some think i m stupid and they try to take advantage also of the genorisity. They just call me when they need me for something... :)
And some, who are really close to my heart deny thinking that i am just a distant relative and they should treat me that way. Taking my help might bring them some kind of guilt. This business, brings alot of smiles and lots of heart aches also. Lolz....
Life is pretty simple if we see. What i get in this whole business is happiness, that generally is so hard to get. Making friends with unknown people, being there when they are sad, being someone who could be of help in any way, it cherishes me and brings an inner peace in my heart, which if i am asked to explain, i can't explain in words. But in this materialistic world, happiness, joy, peace is something which people dont accept easily. We doubt every second guy whom we meet. Why?? If there is bad, there is good also. Why do we just see the bad side?
Well i still believe in my dream, my profession to be a Santa Claus. I did achieve somewhat when i hear my uncle call me Paropkari, :-P
Atleast i am doing what i want to do. What about you..??
