The Lunchbox

It was 14^th of October 2013, I was sitting on the stares of a giant building, waiting for some response from an organization, now you might be thought that what I was doing there? So let me clarify before u guess, I was there for an interview but might be God was not in my favor because there was some power issue in that organization and all the electricity supply was stopped. Therefore, because of power failure we were informed by the HR (I was not assure but she looked like a HR) that it might took 1-2 hours in proper re-functioning of light. Therefore, I decided to come outside for some fresh air. The weather was beautiful because of the light rain which is just few minutes ago, air was energetic and little chilled. Suddenly, I saw a man with his bicycle was coming towards me, when he was a few feet away from me I noticed that he had tied 20-30 lunchboxes with his bicycle. A sudden thought strike into my mind about the movie ” THE LUNCHBOX” and I was filled with excitement to greet him. So my mind said to me what for I was waiting? I moved some steps forward and try to start a chat with him. And the conversation between both was like:

ME: Hello dada ji, kaise ho aap?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: thik hu.

ME: kya naam hai apka?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: Omprakash

ME: aap kitne samay se lunchbox laate ho yah pe?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: 10 saal se

ME: achcha..apne lunchbox movie dekhi hai?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: han, hum sab log sath me hi gaye the dekhne

ME: kaun aap sab log?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: mai aur mere sath ke j hai

ME: kaisi thi movie?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: thik thi, usme bhi to hum logo ko dikhya hai

ME: han, achcha movie me to lunchbox edher udher ho jata hai…kya aap logo se bhi kabhi hua hai aisa?

DABBA WALE DADA JI: nhi…hum log to sidhe ghar se yha pe dabba dete hai to kuch gadbad nahi hota...

ME: thank you daddaji…….how nice na

Before the movie, I often saw some dabbe wale log but never had any interest to go and do some chat with them or knowing how they work or spend their life, but that movie had really changed my perspective and now I have some interest. It does not mean that I can associate myself with them but at least I had an achievement in myself which I feel after chatting with him. Now I am thinking that how movies play a vital role in our life, how they bind us with our society and our culture.

I am still here with those few people on the ground floor but those beautiful moments are no more, and I decide to share these whole things with all so I am writing it.  I have also informed by the HR, that the power problem is still there and you people can go and comeback on the next day. So what else nothing more…I am waiting for an autoriska.

Thank you God for this Lovely moment!!!
