It was a usual, boring rickshaw ride from metro station to Kamla. I was doing my usual, favourite thing - looking around and inevitably, involuntarily making faces whenever the rickshaw crossed one of those awful speed breakers.
While the rickshaw moved on and I was peeking out, I was happy with the fact that the Sun was still up.
Wait. No.
I mistook a street light for the sun!
I laughed at my faulty perception.
And because of the surprising ways my brain works, I suddenly realised -
Mistaking streetlight for the Sun, isn't that something I've done before? Isn't that something all of us do, at some point of time or the other?
Mistaking the unimportant for the important? Or maybe, exaggerating a problem, which might not be that severe as we make it to be?
Perception makes all the difference!
