The other night, I was travelling in a BMTC bus and I was amazed
to notice nearly 90% of the passengers with their earphones inserted. As I scanned the bus to see how each passenger
was reacting to the song he/she was listening to, a strange thought struck me.
How would a mosquito feel in such a scenario?!
We tend to label the mosquito as just a blood-sucking insect
but what about its not-given-due-credit hobby of buzzing in people’s ears?!
When a mosquito buzzes in our ears, we just try to push it
away without the motive of killing it. But when it tries to suck our blood,
there is a high risk of violence from our side.
That being the case, how sad would a mosquito be, looking at
an earphone-wearing guy, to know that it can only connect with him through a fatal
blood-sucking-mission and not through a jovially irritating-zzzzzzzz-game?
The thought made me feel bad for the mosquito but more importantly,
it made me lower my earphones.
If one can tolerate curse
words and gossips and impatient vehicle-horns, how much harm could an innocent
buzz do?!
