serendipity

Truth be told... I have an elephant in the room.

Well, actually its a lady miss. And she is in the other room. She is here cause she has run out of an abode to live, this (un)fine evening. And will be staying on for a few days.
Its actually a little weird. I have shared my pigeon hole of a studio apartment with my mom for 20 days. Dodo was here too.
But this is weird. I barely know her. And while she sleeps, i am feeling weird every second. I have tried to make her comfortable, and i hope she ain't feeling weird.

So that brings me to child abusers. :P

Well, not exactly again, but its kinda related. Lemme explain how. Ive always felt this thing to return the favor. Its kind of innate... you know.. it just feels natural to feel like it. Its like, if ive been treated in a certain way, good or bad, i try to return back the same, to people, and to society in general.
(Btw, this is something of a very common patter that child abusers also seem to have. Usually they themselves are unfortunate to have been mistreated in their childhood.. weird correlation, i know.)

I was given a second chance in life, once by my dad. To drop and year and pursue my dream. It probably changed my life. And now that second chance is very part of me. I often try to correlate situations and circumstances, with other people, which call for a second chance. I am more than willing to give people, related or unrelated that chance. Its just the way i feel. I got my second chance. And i want noone else to be left out.

A few months back, i was out of shelter myself. Ditched by flatmates, i was about to be flatless and homeless. And out of blues, friends (Rohit & Harish) welcome with open arms and doors, at their place. I move in, stay with em for some time. Probably the greatest help at the time, i can think of. And when the lady miss, had this place problem, i was kinda confused. I absolutely dint knew about her. (seriously!.. you know.. thoughts of landlord... and rape allegations :P... what not...). But this thing of being shelter-less. I had been in that situation. Its uncomfortable and a damn pain. I am glad to be of help. A favor that frnds did to me. I am giving back. Kind of my lil way to keep the balance of universe.
