..life..an elevator..

Its not everyday that I go thru something and then go on to write about it. Just the other day, I went to watch the last Indie Jones blockbuster. Its good but only considering that it was “the Indiana Jones” franchisee..but I’d still opine that ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ was the best ever..! Anywz, it so happened that the movie ended and we were coming down from the 5th floor located Adlabs. We took the easy & convenient ‘ELEVATOR’. The first phase was from the 5th floor to the 4th floor-this floor had all kinds of showrooms i.e., Planet M, Bata, Apple store, etc. As we had no interest in any of them, we took the second phase of the ‘Elevator’ from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor. This floor had all kind food joints, right from Punjab to Chennai, barring a few states in between but I don’t think it deterred the overtly enthusiastic public to not to enjoy what they were there for. It was humming with people on a Sunday. We (11 of us..yes!) looked at each other and without uttering a single word understood that no one was in a mood to eat anything but I guess it was the sheer sight of people having food in bundles & also the sign-board saying ‘self-service’ that deterred us to go to the 3rd floor located Food court; which brought us to our third phase of taking the ‘Elevator’ (..did I mention it as easy & convenient?) from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor. This floor was interesting, it housed the legendry Big-Bazaar. Now ders a reason behind calling it legendry. Big-Bazaar is so so so huge and yet its located like just any other mom & pop store; I don’t think any Indian is not aware of Big-Bazaar. This is actually a tremendous phenomenon. Big-Bazaar literally is like its name-BIG..and thats precisely the reason why I don’t like it! I hate to be a part of chaos inside Big-Bazaar that people take for granted and throng it like its Armageddon outside and Big-Bazaar is the only shelter that mankind has on any given day of the year..! Anywz..der we were, on the 2nd floor and Big-Bazaar is not ‘the place’ to go on a Sunday (or any other day) so we took the ever easy & convenient ‘Elevator’ from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor. This floor also had Big-Bazaar (I told u its BIG). People were buying vegetables on a Sunday from a Big-Bazaar located in a up market mall; I don’t know whether its a phenomenon restricted only to Gujarat or common across the country. Anywz, widout saying a word to each other, we took the ‘Elevator’ again to come to our final destination-The ground floor. I know that I am exaggerating my simple multiplex trip into some kind of a ‘Sanjay Leela Bhansali’ experience, but my sort-of justification lies in the first sentence of this blog..! That day, I actually saw the world exactly the way I’ve described here. I guess I saw it thru a child’s eyes..it did make things around me easier. Try to see it this way and give attention to the minutest of details and that, I guess can only happen if our vehicle is hassle-free. I saw it from a very non-complex point of view, saw each detail minutely just standing on that ‘Elevator’ and this last ‘Elevator’ ride made me think…
“What if our life was as easy & convenient as this Elevator?”
