Kapil Jain : innocent obesrvation
This was some where ten eleven years ago , when my son Rishabh was around three years old only .
Our home was on the first & Second floors of the building at Karol Bagh ,New Delhi , where we used
to live as a joint family with our mother & my elder brother ( Shri Anil
Jain's ) family of four.
For Simple understanding in Indian social structure , father's elder brother is called Tauji affectionately .
On ground floor , our retail distribution shop M/s. Roxy Trading Company (RTC) , which is still there.
Till the death of my elder brother Respected Mr. Anil Jain , who was our head of the family , Used to handles all the affairs at RTC along with other overall management.
I was handling all activities at two manufacturing units at okhla Industrial area .
Rishabh had the particular habbit to go to ground floor office to ask Rs. 10.00 for a patato chips packet from his Tauji in the evening , then his Tauji send office salesmen along with him to buy his favorite patato chips . In this ritual some how he used to spend 30-40 minutes with his Tauji daily . This duration was really enjoyable for both of them , Generaly by the end of this duration coincide with my return from Okhla Factory & closing time of RTC office. After closing we all three used to come home by our internal stairs connecting first floor.
on that very day , shop's material dispatches were more then usual that was why , we all three were there a little longer as I reached as my usual time.
3-4 outsiders were also there in the total scene , First was a rickshaw puller was asking for some money as he brings some material from supplier . Rickshaw puller was a really poor but hard core labourer with almost torn slippers in his feets. Second was a old holy man with white beared ( Sadhu Babaji ) standing outside the shop shutters , who was bare feet begging door to door wearing yellow cloth , Third & fourth were separate custmers want to see some new items , inspite of over of closing time , along with three our shops salesmen , everybody wants his demand to be executed first as everybody was sensing that shop time is over now.
Rishabh was obseving everything very quietly but very curiously , Suddenly start drawing his Tauji's attention inspite of all this chaos , pointing towards worn torn slippers of rickshaw puller & bare feet of Sadhu ask his Tauji that "Tauji is rickshaw wale bhiya ki chappal to ghis ghis ke tootne wali hai aur yeh babaji (Sadhu) ki chappal kaha gayi , zaroor pahle hi kahi toot gayi hogi , abhi to babaji ney chappal nahi pahni hai , iesa kyo? ( Tauji , this rickshaw puller's slippers is almost worn torn by abrasion , is on breaking point after continous wear n tear and where is this Holy man's slippers ? must have broken earlier after complete worn torn , at this moment there is no slippers in Holy man's feet , why & How ? )
Everybody hear this Sudden observation included Sadhu , Sadhu replied in sermon style "Sadhu log chappal nahi pehente bete , vo to nange paer hi rahte hai ( The Holy men do not wear slippers , they are bare footed generally, my son ).
Rishabh ask strangly " Babaji key paer to ghisti nahi par , chappal to chalte chalte ghis jati hai , kya paer nahi ghiste , iesa kyo?" ( Babaji 's feet does not worn torn , Slippers torns , but feet never worn torn by abrasion , why & How ? Asked repeatedly )
everybody demand becomes secondary , Tauji smile & saw Rishabh affectionately ,
Suddenly We all adults feels the potential about magnificent abilities of a human body or our body , which we had never realised . discovered by a toddler of three year age.
