In awe!

My dad always used to say, “There is an art of doing things. If you do it that way, it will be perfect.” I somehow second his thought. Though I don’t do things in order, after seeing something, I completely agree to his point.

Sowmya was shifting to Bangalore. They had called ‘packers and movers’ to pack all their stuff. One would easily notice the room being dusty, the place being noisy and people moving here and there. But if you look close, you can actually sense how creative the packing guys are!

While we were chatting, we noticed how creatively this man was packing the computer table and the computer itself. He simply attached a pillow to the monitor and plastered it around so that the screen escapes from scratches.

What an idea! I mean, when we are under work pressure, we usually end up doing something stupid. These men have a deadline, like say, finish it within few hours, but they still do it perfectly. They had bought so many rolls of carton sheets and they used them perfectly without wasting it.

Every work requires an art. When people used to question me why I didn’t take up engineering, I simply said I am not interested. There are 'still' few people whom I know personally who don’t consider other courses ‘respectable’ as engineering or mbbs! [Don’t know what ‘respectable’ in their dictionary means].

There are other few good gentlemen whom I know said, “Sharanya every course and job has a value.” I so got reminded of this while typing! They are true. Can we sit and pack all our belongings in such a nice way with minimum of time? No, right! It’s time people respect the work of others and never underestimate them by their work nature.

Signing off, shara

Nice post.Cant agree more.All that is visible to them are Engineers and Doctors.Not all of them could be one.Reminds me of the dialogue in 3 idiots"No body bothered to ask us what we wanted to be".Again even those who are in s/w Co or Investment bank think only their job is cool and other jobs are treated with contempt.Everybody has got the right to think that they are best but nobodys got the right to think that other jobs are menial.
