When I became a cause…

I had a wish to be a cause for some change or some new things in my organization. I think like me everybody would like to be so. But I had never thought that the chance for that will come so soon and in such manner.

What happened last week, I was busy in some work in my office. Suddenly I realized from the hustle-bustle in the office, that it was the time to leave for home. But when I looked my watch it was 6:05 pm. I had to catch my office bus which starts at the dot of 6:10pm. So logging off my system quickly, I virtually ran from my 2nd floor office. I was in so much hurry that I had no time for giving a look at the lift, whether it was available at that time or not.

So I opted for the staircase to go down. After that I started my run again towards the main door. In that hurriedness, it did not come to my mind that the huge glass door of that new office was to be opened before coming out. So DHADAMMMM….I rammed into the glass-door. Before I understand anything, flow of blood came out of my nose as my face was badly hit with the door.

The guards on duty rushed to me for offering help. Even after all this, I was still worried for missing my bus because that would have cost me walk for one kilometer to the bus stop. So wiping the blood with my hanky and assuring the guards that I was ok, I again resumed my run for the bus.

Guess what happened when I reached at the garage. ….

No, it had not left, but had started to leave. So I ran into it and taking a seat, breathed a sigh of relief, as if the battle is won finally. After then my attention went to the hanky I was holding on my nose. It was completely blood-soaked then.

The next day when I came to my office by the same bus of course, I glanced at the main door on the ground floor before entering into the office. I found red-colored tapes were pasted in some geometrical pattern to make the people aware of its presence when it is open.
I had no doubt about the cause factor for this change in my office.
