“Sometimes you simply want some notions to stay as long as possible”…!
………………
If I recall what has made me lose my temper the most, it would be either when ‘I am misunderstood’, or in…‘road rage’. Yes! I simply abhor people abusing their freedom on roads, and I don’t really mince words if I am an involved party.
So, the other day, again I could feel my breath speeding up when a man driving a scooty emerged from the wrong side and almost dashed into me while I was driving. Although I felt he was the one at fault, still I pressed my lips tight…bowed my neck…and said “sorry”.
Well! It wasn’t for him; it was for his little son standing in the front space. I could feel how much he would have hated to know it was his father’s fault, and to see him involved in a brawl with a stranger.
It was for that little one…because…
In the times to come, he would come to know that his father is also a flawed mortal, and he would grow up discovering his unique dynamics of his relationship with him.
But for time being, he is that one word irreplaceable – ‘Dad’…

…a girl’s first love…a boy’s first hero!
