The Dirty Clothes
The early morning sun shone down on the small and beautifull neighborhood, casting a warm glow on the houses and streets. Inside her home, Susmita peered out the window, her gaze fixed on the
neighbor's clothes hanging on the rooftop. "Look how dirty those clothes are," she said to her partner, Mukund, with a disapproving tone. "I think she will never learn to wash clothes."
Mukund, as he always did, remained silent and left for work. Susmita, however, continued to watch the neighbor's laundry, day in and day out. It had become a sort of daily habit for her,
a way to judge and criticize without any basis.
As the weeks turned into months, Susmita's fixation on her neighbor's laundry only grew stronger. When the neighbor came out to hang her clothes on the rooftop, Susmita slanged her with
derogatory remarks. "She needs to go to her mother and learn how to wash clothes," she sneered, feeling satisfied that her daily ritual had been fulfilled.
But one day, something unexpected happened. Susmita gazed out her window and saw the clothes on the neighbor's rooftop - they were clean and shining. She was taken aback, not quite
believing what she was seeing. "She must not have washed these clothes herself," Susmita murmured, still speaking with the same tone of voice and a hint of disdain for her neighbor.She just did not like the woman for some reasons.
That's when Mukund spoke up. "Darling, I have cleaned our dirty and dusty window glasses today in the morning," he said.
Susmita was suddenly struck by the realization that she had been so focused on her neighbor's laundry that she had completely neglected her own surroundings. She felt embarrassed and
ashamed of her behavior, realizing that she had been quick to judge and criticize without any basis.
