étranger ( Stranger )

This incident happened yesterday (11th Feb), when I was returning home after a jaunt. A lady who occupied the seat beside me in the bus was seriously searching for something. I thought may be she is going to get down and I would hence get my most favorite window seat. The search sustained for so many minutes and suddenly I could sense a hand that pricked me. Inline with my guess it was that lady and she emoted that she has missed her mobile phone some where and if I could help her finding that. She was sweating, shivering and nerves too.

Suddenly my common sense or presence of mind (what ever people say) worked and I responded saying “ Mam we will find it whether you have lost it somewhere or its still with you. Give me your mobile number and let me call it and check out. This is of double benefit as the luminosity emitted will also lend a hand in locating the mobile phone”. I also made sure that it’s not in silent mode.

I called up and luckily the phone was also in its vibrating mode which created a small vibration in our seats. We located the mobile and she smiled, laughed with tears and bid me thanks from the bottom of her heart. I patted myself , invoking my inner voice “Hey galy you too have something called brain : ).”

The context here is why do people get tensed for loosing small artificial thing like a mobile phone? I was in fact frightened seeing her nervousness and sweat on loosing her mobile. It’s after all a mobile. It’s not something that cannot be brought back. You could obviously get one even if you loose it. But this kind of tension can raise your blood pressure and rate at which the heart beats, causing serious damage to your life which is inevitable. Think and keep your cool always.
