Walk the talk!
Though I have forgotten the name of that particular Bangla film, but the story I do still remember very well. The story was based on a young boy, who was running a popular radio programme. He would often take the life related incidents and offer advices to the people. He had brought smile and joy to the life of many.
But the story took a dramatic u-turn when that boy met a girl, through his radio program. Soon they became friends. As the days went by, they began to spend more time together and began to share ‘joy and sorrows’ of their life. At one point the boy felt that he was in love with that girl but he could never express his desire. After sometimes the girl fell in love with another boy and decided to get married with him. On hearing that news the hero was totally broke down. No words of consolation worked for him! He was sad and left the radio programme. He ended up his life into a miserable condition. The story ended with a message, that if you love someone, tell him or her before it is too late. But the question I asked for myself was- why the hero could not apply some of his 'words of wisdom' which he would offer to others for himself?
Life is such- we are good at speaking. We often get into the habit of advising people. In my country we jokingly say that there is only one thing we get without paying is- advice. Personally often I find myself naked before the life related situations. The words of wisdom, which I might have given to many, do not work for myself. And then today, I ask myself, “Why can’t I walk the talk?”
Perhaps in the journey of life I will one day find the answer and I wait for that day…
