It was, Sunday, I am in UK. This Sunday was just like any other Sunday of the summer in UK. The morning was quite bright and clouds where shadowing over the big buildings, it was just like sun was playing hide and seek with the wind. As and when the sun was shining at its fullest the wind was converting itself in a pleasant breeze. Proving completely wrong to weather report of the morning news, sun was in the sky for quite some time.

I went to town centre just for fun as I like to watch people and their faces, I return with a handful bag of shopping groceries for the week. Coming home I pour my nose in the book, I borrowed yesterday from library, but as usual the book can't hold my mind for a long time. Looking out of the window I planned to go out and started dressing casual stuff. After I got dressed I just looked outside and I was depress , the prediction about the weather was not complete wrong and it was raining heavily. This situation left me no choice other than sitting  once again and keeping  that book in front of my eyes. But still I was looking out the window. I kept book aside and started watching the rain from window as usually we all do when we are kid. The rain in UK doesn't last long. Approximately after an hour the rain stopped and made my way clear for outing.

I was feeling fresh, as if nature has just washed and cleaned every thing for me, the trees are looking even greener in the brightness of the evening. By this time sun was about set and though it was covered by clouds the brightness was at its fullest.

I started walking on my usual road towards town centre, but I don't know what made me feel not to go that way, and I changed my path. I started walking in complete opposite direction. I knew this road! but it was not so familiar to me.  After walking for more than half hour I came to a bridge. I passed this bridge few times. This bridge is over a small river which is in the town. One side of the river there were big  and posh residential complex and office buildings. The other side is covered with ginnery, very nice quite garden attached with a big football ground a children's park. This covers a very huge area where no one is residing and there were trees and trees all around. It was really beautiful. It was my wish so many times that I should walk on the bank of that river and spend some time in that park.

Unknowingly I turned that way and started stepping down from a small staircase which was and the end of the bridge. With this staircase I landed just on the bank of the river, and started walking.

 I was really enjoying the nature and talking pictures from my cell phone I walked for a while and gone quite a long.  I seen there are two men sitting  at the bank with their fishing roads. They were not making any sound. I could clearly here the sounds made by ducks in the water. I reached the place were there was a play ground for the kids, there are only two kids playing in that ground. They were playing with the sand it has just become wet with the rain. Soon I found that even being in town  this place was really very quiet, and I just looked back and I got the reason that there was no one river today. All the boats were resting on the water. River was very clam I could see the reflection of all big towers and sky in the water of the river. The troop of seven-eight ducks was swimming one after another just like the soldiers in the army. This troop was leaded by one duck. It was really a sight of discipline where every duck was following their leader without any complaint. "Nature teaches us so many things" a thought came in my mind. The marching sound of  Quak !!! quak !!! was breaking the silence and every duck was cutting the water and creating a wave which was moving  a very long in the river.

I was watching all that and enjoying the nature and its beauty, I really felt peace in mind, I don't remember when I have this feeling last time. This thought disturbed me.

And a thought came to my mind what a contradiction of life .. "Even the thought that you don't have a peace of mind for a long time, can also disturb your peace of mind."

I just took out the cell phone to seize some beauty in the form of picture. I seen a beautiful white spot swimming in the river. It was far away from me but as it comes nearer and with the prideful movement of its neck I could make out that  it was a beautiful swan. It was coming close and close. As it came closer, I started talking its pictures. It was looking really beautiful I can't stop myself talking its picture. And it was really amazing that instead of moving away from me it was coming even closer. Now the swan was in river and I was on the bank I was talking its pictures restlessly .one after another, the sound of the each picture was breaking through silence.

To take its picture from front I was walking behind, since I know that no one was there I was even not looking behind and suddenly I struck to a man. He was smiling I apologize for my behaviour. He was formally dressed with a brown skinned, a very good looking person. He was even smiling when I apologized. I smiled and then words come out of his mouth, "beautiful bird isn't it" I said yes!!! It is!!!.

Looking at his black hair, which were trim nice ,short and the colour of his skin I could  make out that he was a non Englishmen. He was tall, aged about 35-40, not much fair, well built body and formally dressed. I was surprised to see him formally dressed because it was a Sunday, it has just rained, the day was almost over and on top of that this was not the place where anyone will like to come dressed formally; his shoes were so glittering as if he just polished them. I was just looking at him and he was looking at the swan which was moved a little far from us. I was really felt uneasy  standing front of him, with a non shaved face, scattered hairs and wearing just casual dress and sports shoes.

I seen there was no one around us the two men who where enjoying their fishing and the two kids playing with wet sand were far away from us,

I planed to move and just smiled at him and about to walk away

Do you come daily? Question came from him  

Nope. I replied.

Nice place .. I said ..yea!!

Where are you from ? another question came his voice was so pleasant and gentle.

I got his question but still I replied .. I stay near by town centre ..he got it and smiled.

He repeated the same question again with a is extremely soft voice and very frank way, which country you belong to I smiled  and  replied ..India !!!!

This time he got the reason of my smile.

And you ? I asked him a counter question.

He smiled with a grace putting his both hand in pockets looked at the sky and replied .. Even I am not from England.

I smiled with his answer, You come here for work?  He asked .. yes. I said.  Now I started avoiding him he got that, but since he was walking with me I asked a question again, what do you do?

He laughs and replied I select people and tell them what they should do or not do. Oh you mean you are a carrier counsellor he laughed  a loud and said . yea a kind of.  

And suddenly he said lets sit here .and he sat down on the resting bench kept near the bank of the river. Now there was no option for me other than sitting beside him.

What kind of carrier counselling you do? Was my next question.

He smiled , looked at me and replied, I do all kinds of, we even told people what to do or not in their life.

Oh really? do people follow your advice, he said sometimes.

Ohhh I said .its a nice profession .He just smiled.

I thought now he must be asking that what I do, And then I can impress him saying that even I am a counsellor .A so called a business counsellor or business consultant.

But nothing happened like that.

He replied saying that sometime people like our advice some time they don't ..

But you charged full for both .It was me again.

And he looked at me this time he was not smiling but looking with a pleasant face. I observed there were no wrinkles on his face or no frowns on his forehead; he had a clean and nice face.

He replied No, we never charge people, that make me surprise the man sitting in front of me was really looked like professional with his behaviour but he said that they never charge the people for the services they offer. He looked at me and understood that I am surprised I was about to say something but in between he added .

We never charge people they pay with their deeds ..This sentence created ever more puzzle ..Here I again opened my mouth but !!!!!

Cutting in between he said ..we do analysis of the work done by a person through out his life , we evaluate that work, try to put it in the analytical manner and then we give him some suggestions for their future. In future when he gets success he pays back to us.

Here I was surprised again, now I understood this is a kind of fooling system, this man is telling me. I started laughing and questioned him who will pay you ones he is successful in his life? First thing is that who will remember you company once he or she is successful. Are you doing any agreement and if so I never heard of such kind of agreements through out my life, though I was working in a Legal cell of a company back there in India.

And what about the people who failed with your advice do you pay for their debts arise out of your advice?  I was still laughing but he was serious.

He started speaking, We never ask people to follow our advice we just give them suggestions. If they think they can follow, putting it in an act is solely their responsibility. We have nothing to do with it. Our objective is to make people happy in their life.

Oh Ok  !!!!! I said

Now I was not looking at him .but again I heard his voice If the people are successful the return of our suggestions will automatically come back to us.

Now this time I was not crossing to his words? But I know he got that I am still not satisfied with his answer.

So he said lets take a example just imagine your kind of person came to us. Say for example lets take your case ..in your last birth you have done few good deeds and the analytical sum comes to 1573 and you did few bad things the count of which is just  over the good  you  did  and .and just one blunder ..

Which includes .one day you have release a butterfly the other kids were playing with  and you were sure that they will kill it after they complete their play or on your way to the school . you given your bread to that stray dog who was following you . though you know that you will be hungry in the intermission

I was shocked with these incidents he told, I stood up angrily and asked who are you ?

He looked at me smiled and said .clam down ..these are common incidents in every one's life don't worry about these but I was not able to control my emotions and shock because I don't know about previous birth but he really told me those incidents about my child hood which I still remembered very clearly.

I was still not convinced with him but he just looked at me and stood up .. smiling and we started walking he said see these are very common incidents like say another good thing you did that ..  You were even in love ..then even I smiled ..but still there was something in my mind which was not really convinced. How this man knows such a minute incident of my life.

Well then I asked him you were talking about one blunder .. Can you tell me that and suddenly his smiling face becomes serious, I repeated my question with a smiling face .

He looked at me and said I told you about good things one of them was you were in love. Love is that beauty created by God which every human being should enjoy.

I said yea I know that but what was the blunder so I should not repeat that again  He said calmly that You were in love ..but ..but  you let it went away and never cared for it ..  

I shocked and stopped. I looked at the man again now I was stopped but he was walking he kept walking through those stair case which I come through.

When I though that I should meet him again, I ran behind him immediately and rushing through the stair case I came on the road I knew that it was non parking zone so even if this guy has a car he has to walk a long and I can catch him but when I came up and  I seen both side on the pavement of the streets but there was not a single man out.  Few cars were flowing here and there, and the cool breeze touching my body with the every car passed by .
