Finding magic amid the chaos

Well, that was an exhausting day. I had left from work early to cling on to my bed. As it was the peak hour, I had no option but to board an overcrowded train. When about to alight at my destination, my legs stumbled and even before the train entered the station, I landed on the ground. It was a “pause and play” game for about half an hour as I was switching between regaining consciousness and blanking out.

There were about a bunch of people who actively strived to revive my conscious and there was this girl, who held my head on her lap, fanning to get me some air, and sent word to my family.

After a few minutes, I was able to stand up on my own and sip a hot cup of coffee that a man among the crowd had got for me. In the meantime, the girl sent for medical help and I was resting my head on the wall without even realising the tears escaping my eyes. She wiped it off and held my hand.

When I bounced back to normalcy, everyone dispersed and she accompanied me and spoke a few kind words.

As she was about to leave, I asked her name and that left me spellbound. She had the same name as mine. She stayed with me throughout and that was the positivity I was looking for.

I realised the need to embrace each day with happiness amid the chaos. Instead of complaining, I shifted my mind to see circumstances in a different way and find solutions with all the possibilities that come along. This incident prompted me to see the magic behind every fall.

Be it work or life, we consistently complain and gossip. However, when you consciously begin to look for the beyond in every situation or person and restrain your views from the limited information that you are acquainted with, you can undeniably witness the magic in entirety and feel grateful for everything you own and anything that you have been through.
