"I Should Follow"

This Sunday when I was in a Railway Station,I suddenly felt like moving through the tracks to the opposite platform.If I was in kerala,I would have surely done that.But I had second thoughts on this because nearly 20 people have been jailed for a maximum of 15 days for a simple crime.So after that instant reply from my inner self not to cross through tracks,I had a thought about how we consider laws which define our pattern of life in a civilized society.
Most of us believe that laws are for some 'notorious' people and not for us.If we compare the constitution with our day to day activities each of us will be astonished to see that we are the greatest law breakers on earth.Some times we are not aware and at other times we Intentionally try to overlook it.In my case,I tried to overlook it,but something forced me to retreat.That is what is called strict Implementation and that will be absent in kerala to deter me from that act.

Same is the case with other day to day activities such as Bribing,Showing less Income for less tax etc.We may think it's not serious,but that's surely not the way to proceed.

We may have enough money to bribe some one for our job to be done.Suppose a poor man goes to the same person and the official will expect the same from that person also and he will return empty handed.

Or Suppose we saved a tax of 1000rs. and we wasted food amounting to 30rs/day that will add up to 1000 per month.If Government had got that money ,they would have used it to provide subsidized food to atleast one person.Many of us don't know,a good percentage of brothers dream to eat food atleast once a day.I have seen people eating food from waste bins.We hate to even walk by the side of it.When I said this to my friend from mumbai,he told me we can even see people eating dead mouse here.So food from waste Bin is a 'bit more hygenic'.

So the bottom line is laws are written to be Implemented,however less Important it seems,it has a meaning and purpose

"A Successful Failure"

Rahul is going to propose a girl and he knows her for last two weeks.
The chances of getting an "YES" are slim ,if at all any chance.

No one is going to play a game where it is 100% sure that he is the loser.

In the eyes of many rahul may be a loser,but for him winning criteria is different.
For others,success may be a "yes",but for him that is miles beyond his version of success.

He decided to do it over phone,even though they meet everyday now.

Before calling her,he planned a script.

That was like this...

(screenplay)
Rahul(hearing tring tring on phone)
swati:hello
Rahul:hello,I need to tell u one thing
swati:yea,rahul...
rahul(in broken voice):swati...I...I love you and I would like to marry you...
swati:....,..........,.......
rahul:hello..
swati:.........

After 2 minutes of silence,she will disconnect the phone

This was rahul's script one hour before the call


And the real moment comes now...Rahul is going to fit himself into the role.

yes....
Rahul(waiting the call to be picked up)
swati:hello
rahul:hello....swati..I need to know my brother's exam results..here we don't have any net connection ..can you check it there and I will call you after 1 hour If you can tell me then
....
and one more serious thing is there..
swati:okay fine...and wats dat?
rahul:I will tell you after 1 hour
swati:no you should tell it now.....
rahul:no i will tell after 1 hour

and immediately disconnects the phone..

Rahul(thinking to himself)....Entire deviation from script...
Brother's Exam results???He got it 1 hour before....you stupid!!!!

(After 1 hour)

Rahul again calling
Swati:hello
Rahul:hello
swati:your brother passed with distinction
rahul:oh...(he was not thinking anything about that then)
swati........one serious thing,i am going to tell now
swait:ya tell me
rahul:hmm.......hmm..I...I...I
swati:!!!!!
rahul:I..I...decided to propose you..(he told in one breath and now expecting utter silence of denial)
swati:(almost at double speed)...No!!!!!
rahul:why?(now entirely out of script and rahul is not sure why did he ask that 'why' when he knows it 100%)
swati:problem is actually not with you...
rahul:Not with me??(asking to himself....really?)
swati:ya...problem is that I don't like you..
rahul:(couldn't stop laughing,but made sure she didn't hear)..

There ends the drama...

At the end Rahul says to himself:"May be that openness of mind to say it so explicitly that 'I dont like you' is something that attracted me to her."

So its a win-win situation for both...

Rahul got more than silence,which was the thing he was expecting and he got the satisfaction of expressing what he felt
and swati was provided the opportunity to 'nip in the bud' the red rose flower that was tending to blossom in rahul's heart
