Punya At Your Doorstep!!


This is my very first post and i wanted it to be this. as my blog name goes -- JEENA ISI KA NAAM HAI. Here is something that i witness everyday and almost everyday it leaves ME into a deep thought!

At the place where i live , just next to my flat there are crossroads and every morning i love sitting near the window and stare out with a cup of tea. Busy people running, children waiting for their school bus, daily morning Crowd near the "chai wala". One thing that catches my attention is this--
GAIWALA!!
Yes the gai wala or gwala. Or yes as we say these days , milkman. So the milkman , every morning with his cows and calves stand there near the big ground. With him he bring his "Chara" or the cow's food. Now once i saw people making a crowd there. On taking a closer look i realized what exactly was happening. The great wise people visit the cows every morning , in their big cars , purchase the "chara" from the milkman and feed the cows. Why ? to earn PUNYA!! few big people dont even care to get down from the big car. They just roll down their window and give some money to the milkman. i wonder sometimes how is it different from giving money to a beggar?? The milkman himself feed the cow on their behalf and yet the PUNYA goes to the big wise people!!
The striking thing is that -- Cow belongs to the milkman , the chara belongs to the milknman , money is earned by the milkman , the chara goes into the milkman's cow's stomach which is fed by the milkman himself!! And yet , its we who earn the PUNYA!! 
That's why i like to call it -- Punya At Your Doorstep!!

In the end , just one thing.. as it goes -- JEENA ISI KA NAAM HAI
