“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+.
