The day is as usual as the sun lightening the building, the street and finally the dog that begins his mornings with barking upon the sun. This way he feels he has the right to bark at anyone. Day in and day out, the barking continues without any halt. This noise pollution comes with the natural embarrassment to the owner of this dog whose name I won’t disclose. Defamation should always be the right of dogs and not just humans. This would be the parallel universe be like.
One day Bunty, the dog owner, started with
his usual habit of starting the day. He often does it by taking his dog to do
shit in the street of uncle Chaddha, in the name of taking the dog to walk. For
uncle Chaddha it isn’t just the “cake walk” to pass through the street while
going for his shop but also a gesture of hatred for Bunty’s father’s ignorance
of giving birth to such a jerk. This is the everyday routine that uncle Chaddha
hates to follow. But the sheer pleasure of disproving other’s son is the
feeling that uncle Chaddha could not resist to welcome.
One fine morning, both Bunty and uncle
Chaddha are prepared to wage on the cold war as part of their usual habit. But
the previous day lesson from uncle Chaddha wasn’t the same, usual rote. Bunty
looks convinced with uncle Chaddha’s lesson. It seems he has subscribed to a
motivational speaker and has copied the exact words from the source, while
committing severe mistakes in the usage of articles. The lecture has stilled in
him the feeling of bravery and a sense of doing something worthwhile. A
worthwhile thing means correcting the mistakes he has been ever committing.
Bunty was a bit confused after having
smashed uncle Chaddha’s glass for 23 times. He never had a doubt about the
person’s window whose glass he would gust with sixes during the cricket match.
He had a clear mind, which he finds filling up with the impressive use of
English from uncle Chaddha last evening.
Something rare is going to happen when
Bunty went on to the late morning walk with his dog and crossed the street without
turning into the street where uncle Chaddha lives and squeals. Uncle Chaddha
has struck the right chord in Bunty and that too at the perfect time when the New
Year is about to come. Bunty knows well that at this time of year end, something
called as “new-year-resolution” starts trending. This was the habit of his
college friends even, with whom he passed Bachelor of Commerce. That day he
posted some 50 selfies with the proud of being the first person from his family
who passed college with the same batch of students, he was admitted with.
Bunty is sure that he’ll do the thing in
advance and will keep it for FB post, later when the new year is nearer. He
choose not to wait for new year to bring up with a new resolution—that he’ll
never break the window panes of uncle Chaddha’s house and that he’ll find a new
place where his dog can perform daily
commitments of the morning. Bunty wanted to turn his world upside down. He
looked on for turning his life around without having to wait for the New Year.
That’s how with his commitment, Bunty
started a new life with a zeal of doing good work. Impressed by uncle Chaddha’s
English usage of that day, he sought an idea of melting the ice between uncle
and his father. He instantly waged on to convince his father for English
tuition from uncle Chaddha. And with uncle Chaddha’s guidance, he plans to
trend like the “New Year resolution”.
Such is the importance of one fine day and
person in our life. A moment is not only new when it’s New Year. Every moment that
comes with the New Year is always new, depending on one’s willingness of how
long one can keep it polished. The new-ness isn’t on the Year. It’s in us.
