Jerk

Why is it that gut wrenching feeling of guilt lasts only momentarily? But in that charged moment everything seems simple, clear and focused but as the dust of time swarms around the heart, it overshadows the spark, diminishing the light as if it never existed!

I was travelling through rural Rajasthan, saw a 7-8 years old kid serving at local dhaba. Innocent face, charming eyes, neatly dressed, working hard at middle of night in middle of nowhere with a cute smile, but as I searched his eyes, there was sadness behind those eyes... his one look made me forget about all my problems for a second, felt like a jerk actually... a jerk who has everything yet he is shitting bricks!
