Percy Bysshe Shelley once said, "Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar." The poet observes the world with deep attention and admiration. There are many Poems that describes the world from falling of the first ray of sun during dawn to the last rays at dusk. One Among them is "Sunrise on the Hills", a less widely known poem by the reknown American poet H.W. Longfellow. It beautifully describes the unnoticed beauty of time during sunrise.
When I read this poem recently a thought struck me -just as the world's first poet, Valmiki, left Urmila unnoticed while writing the epic Ramayana, could Longfellow have also left something short during the sunrise? Thus,one morning, I rose early from the bed before the sun woke up from the mountains , and went out to explore something unnoticed by poet .As soon as I stepped out of my home, I saw a man sweeping away the shredded leaves and debris in streets and renewing the path. And Yes! I found a human sun before the first rays of the real sun reached the Earth, dispelling the darkness and giving us light to see the path.
Every morning, long before offices open and schools begin, a group of dedicated workers starts their day. They are the maintenance staff the silent force behind cleanliness, order, and hygiene in public and private spaces. Maintenance work is not just about cleaning it also includes managing waste disposal, and even assisting with office arrangements. Without these workers, no workplace would function smoothly. Despite their crucial role, maintenance workers often go unappreciated .They work long hours and handle tough tasks behind the scenes. Meanwhile, professionals in higher positions receive recognition and awards for their achievements and become popular figures. But it's essential to understand that the smooth operation of organizations relies heavily on the efforts of maintenance staff. They are "the backbone" of every institution keeping everything running efficiently. Although some staff members face discrimination or disrespect. Unfortunately their contributions remain invisible to most .We rarely stop to think about the hands that keep our surroundings clean and organized, letting us to do our jobs without obstacles.
Just like the sunrise illuminates the world, maintenance workers brighten our daily lives by ensuring cleanliness and order. Their dedication may not earn them fame, but without them, our workplaces, streets, and homes would be in chaos. It is time we recognize their invaluable contribution and show them the respect and appreciation they truly deserve.
