I started my day with a smile. It's like just an ordinary day after all, but i decided to travel and take a glimpse of what the real world looks like.
I saw an old woman sitting on a corner of the street, holding a small can, waiting that someone will put coins on that tiny box.
I passed by on a road where kids playing in the midst of a heavy rain. Children with bright smiles, laughters that echoes freely as they put muds to their faces.
I walked to a City where night has been their day. I saw young girls who were desperate in working to earn money.They were holding the hands of their customers on their way to torture.
I saw a man wiping his sweat, carrying dozens of heavy sacks under the heat of the sun.
I stopped as i saw group of women talking about their husbands of how they were troubled.
I looked at the teens walking in a group talking about how they prepare for their exams.
I saw a family crying for joy, as they walk on the stage for their son's achievement.
I listened to a Mother talking on a phone, reminding her daughter to be careful while working abroad.
I saw a happy parents carrying their first born with so much joy and love.
I looked at the authorities as they marched down the road with the criminals, on their way to prison.
I witnessed families throwing parties , wasting money just for their happiness.
I saw a man crying as he was helplessly holding the hand of his daughter, who needs a surgery.
I saw how accidents, killings and crimes invading all cities.
Then i stopped in the middle of the road. I realized how i discover every stories of a person who were walking on the same path that i walked in.
It is indeed wonderful to take a glimpse of every person's life as if it lies in the palm of my hand.
