invigorate

Invigorate

Putting the beg in the ground Abani started thinking "Where the weight was heavier, in my arms or in my pocket?"
Whatever, we have to eat as we did before.
"Hello, mister, where have you lost??" His thoughts were blocked by the voice of his better half. He mildly replied "Nothing important, let's have a cup of tea"
Our life is so ordinary, out of these ordinary people doesn't Buddha came out as an extraordinary ! What kind of impacts can an ordinary sick person, a corpse and a old person cause to make a man sacrifice all the property, family, everything he had.
Buddha never felt hungry, did he felt pain?
Buddha had no lust, did he ever felt tired??
Untill his wife arrives with the tea, he almost digged out whole history of Buddha. Of course there is a reason for it. The old man in the market sitting in with few betel leaves and a pair of Squeakers was like Buddha, his hairs were not curly but he surly had a bun on his head.
The old one asked the boy sitting next to him staring at the girls and smiling "Are you ready to carry that heavy beg, can you??", The boy smiled nervously.
The old man was like Buddha not just because of his looks, but the way he talks.
One question of the Old one targeting the boy had just brought a wave of thoughts in both their heads of the boy as well as Abani.
Sometimes Abani feels like whatever Babu did may be was right. May be he was right to live his life his own way.
Babu is Abani's Uncle, A funny man but always hated by the family. They say if there is an example of selfishness than that is Babu. The man had done nothing and left nothing for his only son. Even after years of service with a handsome salary he don't have a house of his own. How could he save money if he spent most in fashion. Whenever he gets salary he visits the parlour, have manicure pedicure facial etc.
Sometimes it feels like he enjoyed the life, good for him. But now, he feels tired all the time, spends the whole day resting in chair, watching people passing by the road,alone.

Whenever Abani looks at his house, he memorizes the days when he pulls the wheelbarrow himself to fill the level of this house.
Days when he carried bulties of water to spray all over the newly constructed walls.
Whenever these thoughts comes he feels invigorated.
He feels like the weight of the beg is gradually decreasing,and peace hits him as if he is Buddha after attaining Nirvana.

His son is well settled now, he is established.
He can carry the beg now but Abani didn't let him.

Actually these are the things that makes him invigorate even at this age, the cup of tea is in name only.
