Being a very tall building, there are 3 levels of lifts in my office, low, medium & high-rise. To my dept, I need to take the high rise. Today – I thought of stopping at the food court which is situated at level 5 – thus when I came in I took the low rise. At fifth floor- I gazed at people coming in & out of the lift only realizing I should have gotten out at that floor after the door closed. Decided to cancel my intention for breakfast, I went up-up and away till 19th floor, to change lift. Only at 19th floor it knocks my senses – medium rise only goes up to 35th floor …… another interchange is required at 35th floor!
Being morning at 9 am doesn’t help at all – because the lifts will stop at almost every floor. When I reached my floor… I walk out slowly & blurry thinking the time spent in the lifts……… and life.
In life we faced similar situation, there are lots & lots of junction, we need to choose and take to reach to our destination. Many lifts, escalators, trains, buses…to get where we want. Sometimes we just take the risk of choosing. Sometimes we pause and think of the effect of our decision. Though we pause and think, that decision may not be the best – they may be obstacle that lay ahead. It is for us to look at the whole situation, at the right perception and appreciate the experience may it be good or bad. It is for us to choose.
Back to my lift ride this morning. There are many faces that I managed to say “Hi” to. Though they are just my “Hi – Bye” friends… The least it tells me, that people know my existence - I’m happy with that…
