I live in Tirupati. Whenever i wish to share any of my feelings, joy or happiness or sorrow or any other feeling, when I dont find a person around me to share with i used to go up to the Tirumala hills here. Journey, at a slow pace on my bike, with beautiful sceneries around always made me feel good, how much bad my mood may before steeping there. I never went to Temple there, because I didn't like the rush there. I love 4 spots very much. One at the road that takes up, and one at the HIGHEST POINT i.e,where there will be 2 foot impressions, attributed to be as God's and another spot in that road down, where there will be a large tree, it appears as if it says some stories which we cant hear. And the final spot is, at a bridge in the down road. If we sit at that bridge{in rainy season, a waterfall starts at its back and water flows under the bridge}, we can see almost all Tirupati in an areal view. Whenever I sit there and look at the town down, some sadness depresses me. Lavish starhotels appear like a small glowing lights. Many places which I think as large ones, when I am at those places, won't even appear from that height. I have to assume the locality of those places, just by direction. My home, which I think is like my empire, won't even be visible from there. No person can be seen. I get a feeling that, IN THE BOOK OF HISTORY, all our lives are going to be so condensed that none have a place in it. What if i earn lot of money or what if i be a handsome guy with educational degrees by side of my name. When i complete my life, and when my body is buried, everything i achieved will be forgotten and lost. If its so, i thought, what am i going to achieve?? Then i tried to think different. What i could see most prominent from that bridge. Only one thing appears very tall and prominent. It is the tower in SRI GOVINDARAJA SWAMY TEMPLE. Though it is shorter than some cellphone towers in the town, though it do not have many attractive electric lights decorated, it is appearing more prominent than any. It stood like that since many years. I rememberd my childhood where I loved to hear the songs of little birds which made their nests in that Tower. Perhaps 4 or 5 generations of those birds might have passed, but still that Tower is there, and it will be there for a loong time. So, I felt that, to be in history for a long time, with a good name, I should do many many good things. But my aim should not be just find a place in history. The Tower never wanted to look prominent, but its divinity and sacredness made it so. So I too wished to do much good to humanity. Immediately after that thought, I got puzzled. What should I do?? What can I do?? I can't be a Gandhi, because I know that I can't keep quiet if someone slaps me. I cant be Mother Teresa, because I cant live without many rich things. I cant live without going to movies and listening to music. I cant be Nelson Mandela, because I dont have any idea for whom should I fight for. Moreover I fear jails. I cant be Einstein or Newton, because my mind knows no science. Then in what way, can I help anyone??And I got a doubt too, do anyone, other than those who are related to me, really need me?? I want to do something good.But I don't know what to do, how to do. Can anyone of you suggest something?? I want be like a tower in that temple.
