“Mere sath hi aisa kyun hota hai????

“Mere sath hi aisa kyun hota hai????”

How many times do we say this? In my case, every time “that” silly little problem comes up. Now, this “that” can be very wide ranging. From not getting a taxi when desperately needed to seeing an AC metro leave in front of your eyes without you being in it (trust me, there is no greater sorrow for a Kolkattan), from hearing “your balance is insufficient for this call” from that irritating recorded voice exactly when all you need to hear is someone special’s voice to missing the first few minutes of a movie like “Inception”, this expression just gushes out of your mouth.

What’s wrong with it, you ask?

Me too.

Every time I have said “Mere sath hi aisa kyun hota hai????”, what I have done is exaggerate the problem. You don’t feel it when you are saying it. At that time, even the silly little incidents that I mentioned above seem like an emergency. But later on, you just laugh it off. But what we forget is that slowly “this” becomes a part of our personality. All of us have that one friend (there goes my favourite line : Refer to my previous post) who is “Rotlu” and who cribs about everything under the sun (like Sheldon, if you follow The Big Bang Theory). Some of us (like me) may even be that friend. That doesn’t stop us from being friends with others but it makes people who don’t know you closely enough to form judgements about you, and if you don’t care about that, then ponder over this: it also stops people close to you from talking to you honestly, fearing negative repercussions.

So, let me get straight to what I am getting at, or I am sure I am gonna lose you (whatever few have reached this far).

I say why send out any negative vibes anywhere you go. Instead, as idealistic as it may sound, shouldn’t we be spreading positivity all around us? I know it’s not that easy as it sounds. It’s really difficult not to say “Mere sath hi aisa kyun hota hai???? “when “that” happens.

But still, shouldn’t we try to be a part of the solution rather than being a part (or whole) of the problem? At least we can try. Life can be more fun if we stop fussing about the little “thats”. B+.
