Just Think Over It

The dictionary meaning of the word is ' concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure' . Now that you know the details, let's delve into the days when we were trying to find who we really were. I mean School and College time.  I will tell you about a guy who was my classmate. His name was Indra. He was very well behaved and was ready to help one and all. Short in height with thin caricature, he was always smiling and welcoming. He attended all the classes and almost everyone else contacted him for notes and home works.  Girls considered him harmless and were often found in his company. Slowly but surely, he became an integral part of everyone's life. Some colleagues went a step further and started giving him names that were softer at first but gradually went into the insult category. After some time, all the good and cute names vanished and the insulting ones tagged along. With name, came the tone of voice which went gradually from friendly to sarcast...

 Rahul was sitting silently feeling alone.His wife Radha came to him and said, ‘ why are you looking pale?’ ‘Nothing! At times I feel like I am not an honest person,’said Rahul. ‘I wonder why do you think so,’ said Radha ‘My heart wants me to do something else and I am doing something else. It feels as if a voice inside me wants to say something but I choose to ignore it.The outside noise is so deafening that I have turned deaf to my own voice. I hate myself for doing so.It feels like I am cheating my self and If I am not honest with what is inside me then I am definitely not honest with everyone outside’,Rahul said. ‘If you are getting upset because of this voice,that means you are listening to it. A lot of people are not even capable of doing that. You just need to find a way to harness the energy of the   ideas suggested by your own soul. Recognizing that voice is a big step forward’,Radha said. ‘What is the point of knowing everything when I don't have courage to...

Rahul!when do you think will be the right time for us to plan a baby ? Radha asked to her husband. May be never!Replied Rahul. What do you mean? Will we never have a baby?Radha asked.  That's exactly what I meant.I do not think that we should have a baby.A lot is  needed to be done before it. Rahul clarified himself. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened next. Radha was irritated. What the hell is needed Rahul?She asked. She somehow managed to speak without fire coming out from her mouth but flames were almost visible.Who the hell said that dragons are fictional? What is your problem with the children?Radha continued. Plenty,Rahul said. Tell me,Radha said. When the conversation between a couple comes down to words rather than sentences, some kind of explosion can be expected soon. I do not think I can be a good father,Radha!Rahul said,his voice soft and thoughtful. He expressed to his wife what was his real thought about himself.Like all the people on earth,he t...

I know that you have suffered a big loss but that should not stop you from leading a normal life!Rahul said to his wife Radha who looked very sad. Radha lost her mother three months ago and since then, life was far far away from normal for both of them.Once ever-smiling Radha appeared no longer the same person.She cried in the middle of the night someday and on someday her tears welcomed Rahul early in the morning. He on the other hand tried his best to somehow bring normalcy to the family but best is not good enough was his new normal. Radha!Are we going to spend our forthcoming future like this?Rahul asked finally. Do you have any idea how I am feeling now? Radha asked, her voice lower than normal. Rahul understood it well that when a question is answered by another question,things are not going well.He decided to continue this conversation in the softest tone of voice he could manage. I can completely understand you.I know exactly what you are feeling now as I too lost my papa s...

Why didn't you shout back when you were threatened  by that son of a b@€#$..?Asked furious Radha to her husband Rahul. Radha! when a dog barks at you, do you think shouting back is the right thing to do? If you are succumbed to such disgraces then what will be the difference between you and him?Rahul replied. You are a blind and an idiotic idealist in today's time. This way of thinking is outdated. The rules of the time we live in are different. How are you going to win a game of football by applying rules of cricket? Radha argued. Your logic is fine if you take it as a game you want to win but question is why you allow someone else specially if you don't like them to pick the games for you. Pick your own games and play your heart out, Rahul said with a smiling face. So what  you are suggesting is if someone bullies you, do not fight back. I must remind you that not resisting a crime is equal to doing the crime itself. what do you suggest if someone comes and slaps you ? as...

Why don't you communicate with people around you on a regular basis? asked Radha to her husband Rahul. I think most people find me boring!replied Rahul. Well! I found you intresting enough, Radha said. Everyone is not in love with me dear,Rahul said. what an idiotic reason! I found you intresting enough for the start of communication which led to our love and eventually marriage, Radha said. Now if you would have been grumpy with me like you are with most people, there was no Chance of us being together. People in general doesn't like something they don't understand and if you are going to make it harder for everyone by not being friendly and communicative, of course they are not going to like you, Radha continued. I don't need them to like me! I want them to be as indifferent towards my life as I am towards theirs. Everyone should mind their  own bussiness rather than poking at other's, Rahul said loudly. Radha did not liked the loud voice from her husband but deci...

The game is on. Being a Sherlock fan,it seemed appropriate that the first line should be the one written. Before going further,I want to state that nothing written here is unique and the only source of information.In fact they are taken from books, movies etc which affected my own thought pattern over a period of time. What I want to say that that after religiously watching Sherlock for about 7-10 times per episode, my brain somehow forgot to realise that what I was following was a work of art and is absolutely fictional.I indeed started thinking that if enough observations are made then it is possible for me to predict future. I started making observations and predicting what would happen next. In that same period, I met a girl, fell in love with her and wanted to impress her as fast as possible.I began planning our conversations. I made a flow chart of my questions and her probable answers.I even imagined that there can only be such and such possible answers for a given question. A...
