This is my post incident reflection. I always used to disagree and argued with my father during his days for his helping nature (as many believe that teaching is thankless job). I never saw him justifying his acts not his positive attitude. I always used to wonder how despite so many problems he used to face every where how one can be so positive.
During these days after a long time I started thinking positively. I am not sure whether its because of books that I am reading or people I am meeting there is a change in my language and attitude. I remembered in the morning that I forgot about something and need to react quickly, so I went to the office and they made waste so much of my time in various queries and I thought my anger started building up. I was thinking my one day is wasted in running around. I visited near by bank branch for the bank statement, there once again delay, you can imagine my plight. And they asked me to come after half an hour mean while I went out so that I can cool myself. When I was reentering the bank once person started initiating discussion, I couldn't recognise the person so naturally I was reluctant. When the person took my father's name I was alarmed.He took my name and my other details. I was really surprised. As things are my father would have taught him more than 35 years back. I rushed to finish my work. When I was returning I saw the person in the same place. I apologised and spoke to him. When I went back to finish my work I realised I am no longer angry.The day went on with the repetition of this event. How could a person remember a teacher after 35 years and of course no need to remember his son as well.
This is the second incident after his passing away. I know why this. How do I react? Thank you parents for what you were.

Sometimes it is better not to ponder over the positive actions, just relish its fruits with delight!
You are right, I am enjoying the experience.
