Security Guards

Every night when you sleep peacefully there is a person who wakes up the whole night just to keep you and your belongings safe. I think most of don't even pay attention to the hard work they do.

Security guards have a huge task in their hand, they don't just have wake up the whole night but they would have to keep a watch on our properties as well. If there is any thieves or robbers they would have to fight then off as well. Every night there life is at stake but hardly anyone pay attention to that.

People in forces keep us safe from external attacks and they get so much value and respect but these people who keep us safe from the attacks of bad elements of the society hardly get the respect they deserve.

I have this habit if working up late in the night and the only sound which I'm able to hear that time is that our the whistles that our security guards blow after certain interval of time. These whistles are enough to scare off the robbers, thieves and bad elements. This whistle tell them that there is someone who is watching over the people, there is someone who is there to keep the people safe.

We as society as so insensitive towards the people who are actually working the whole night to keep us safe. That not all they even keep their life at stake and don't get anything in return. Isn't it shameful that they don't even have a life insurance that would benefit their family if they end up losing their life while saving us. It's time that all of us have to wake up from our night sleep and face the reality and give the due respect and appreciation to our security guards. A sensitive and organized approach has to be taken to give them the value they deserve.

After working till late night, I sleep comfortably by hearing the assuring sound of their whistle which tells me that, "Sleep well, I'm here to keep you safe."

Principal with Principles

(This post is dedicated to my school principal)

"Why did you choose to study science ?" my principal asked me on the first day of my 11th standard. I was surprised by his question, nobody expects this question from his principal on the very first day. I looked at him and said, "Sir, because I'm interested in science". He with his serious face looked at me for some time and then with a little smile said "Good". 

There were few of my friends who were standing just behind me, they whispered in my ears that I should ask him why he asked me this question. I was a little hesitant but then my inquisitive side got better of my hesitant side and ended up asking him the question.

We all used to value his words a lot as he was a wise man and used to work day and night for his students. After hearing my question, he looked at all of us one by one. I think he was trying to make an eye contact with all of us. Then, with a little sad face he said, "today the world has become materialistic. People do things only for profit even they choose subject which will give them higher returns in long run. They don't study because they like to study but just to become eligible to earn money. This mentality gives me problem. "

After saying this he took a pause. He looked disappointed, I think he might be feeling let down by some students who have impacted his thinking. After the pause he started speaking again. " Suppose today people got to know that learning science won't give you any job but learning how to sweep the floor will then people will stop respecting me and they will start talking to the sweeper. Hope you students are getting the broad point I'm trying to put across".

All of us together replied "Yes, Sir." As he was searching our face for some answer I replied, "I totally get your point Sir, we should study for the love of the subject not for what gains it is going to give us then only we would be able to value our lessons and subjects." After hearing my answer I could see his dejected face getting lighted up with pride. I know he loved his students and his subject a lot and seeing good morals in his students would have definitely made him proud.

He didn't replied anything after that about my answer, he turned his proud face to other side and said "You guys should go to your class now, you shouldn't be late on the first day of your class."
