#06 - Cup


Many of us ask the question " Why me?". Smiling guys? Well I have asked like thousand times to myself "Why me?" but never got answer to that question. Let us see what happened when someone asked me the same question.

I happened to meet my school friend in a marriage function. She is the Miss fame during the high school days. I have never spoke a word to her, and I am one of the humiliating species in her list, but to the surprise she smiled at me and she was with me the whole time in the function. When we were leaving, she asked me "Can we hang out for few hours?"

We went to a park, she sat down and asked me "How are you? How is your life?" I replied her "It is good". I just looked her back with a question on  my face. She understood my reaction " Yeah , I have humiliated , insulted even have tore you down in school but right now I feel like only you can possibly the one to comfort me". She continued " I feel like I lost everything, my talent, confidence, family, friends, job everything totally my life. I can't even possibly imagine how my future is going to be" tears started to roll down slowly on her cheeks. I said " Hey come on, life is difficult at 20's for everyone. Nobody figures their life at 20's, don't think it is the end." She went little overboard and started to sob " I know Rithi, but I am asking why it has to be me? why I should be the one to face this? I mean it was perfect, but now how did this happen to me? And why it is happening to me alone?". I did not have answer to her. I hugged her and let her cry completely. Eventually her tears stopped, she rubbed her face, wiped off the tears and looked at me and asked "Did my mascara come off?" I laughed and said "You haven't changed a bit". It brought smile in her face too. We chatted other things too, then when I dropped her at her place, " You should not ask Why me ? because you never ask Why me ? when you were smiling, so logically you don't have rights to ask why me? when you are crying" She looked little shocked. I continued " But it doesn't mean you can't ask that question to me, you can ask me, but don't expect answer, expect comfort, that is possible" She smiled. I bid bye and came home.

We never ask lord why me when we were having fun. We ask that question only when we have problem. If you have a problem, write down it, search it in google, you will get about 1000 links telling about the people facing the same problem, so technically we are not the only one facing it. But it doesn't mean we can't ask it, just we can't expect answer to that. Happiness gives smile. Sadness gives tear. It is like if you put a seed for mango, you will get mango, don't expect an apple in mango tree. Eventually everything will pass. Sometimes you don't get answers to the question, because the question is wrong. 

Stop asking Why me? Instead ask What have you planned for me? 

Think with a cup of coffee and have a sip in it.

#02 - Second Cup "Little things make big difference". A usual proverb, that we have heard many times, said many times, felt lot of times and have forgot lot of times too.Read the sentence again, "LITTLE things make BIG difference".The words are opposite to each other but when they come together, they create a meaning that is so perfectly true. Do we really care about little things? Well I care about it only when someone doesn't care about little things for me. And I guess there are so many "I" like me.The things are really little to be taken care, but yet we forget to do so. Is it because, they are so little that we actually can't see them? If they are really that little then, they doesn't matter right? But why do they create such a big difference? Why ? The question I asked many times Why? I have a friend, who sends me texts all day and night. It starts with "Good Morning" and it goes on like, Have you brushed your teeth? ...
#03 - Third Cup Before you start to read, I am sure we might get conflicts between us in this concept. I myself thought to write it, because of the conflict that I got into with my neighbor. If you are thinking about the neighbor who lives upstairs, you are thinking exactly right. He is definitely having rough days. I saw him with non shaved face, red eyes, and a fake smile always. I also heard that he is been drinking alcohol every night. I found, that is totally true, when I ran into him at the terrace. He was starring at something. I walked casually to other side and tried to get a peek on what he is starring. It was hard to get a look, he is huge. I can’t see anything, but his long hands. I thought to give up, but then he suddenly turned to my side. We smiled at each other, in that small interval of time, I saw the thing he was looking at. Yes, as I thought, it was an invitation and without any further doubts, I assumed it as his girlfriend marriage invitation. I thought how cr...
#07 - Cup We had a electrical maintenance in our colony,  unfortunately it was between evening 3 to 6 , or should I say fortunate because it happened during Sunday and almost everyone was out and having tea together. It was like back to my school days times, we used to play in streets with the neighbourhood kids and our mothers would be sitting on the verandas , gossiping something. It was almost nearly same scenario. I was sitting near the staircase, coffee mug in one hand, mobile at the other, reading texts also screening the people simultaneously. I did not see my lawyer friend, has he started again to lock himself in the room again my mind was running with so much questions. Suddenly, a ball rolled down from the terrace to me, and the next door kid came down behind it. He asked me  "Akka give me the ball". I replied him  "Only if you join me in your game"  He became confused and said "Only captain can decide that"  and he pointed his hands towa...
