Ok I have a cruel streak and here’s a example.But then the world has too much of a stage loving posers for my comfort zone.
There’s my sole teammate at work w.r.t being a peer – he’s a tad short .The chap used to be a bit too effusive with self gloating humor
and all and so I too never bothered much about restricting my sarcasm.
Now I’ve shut up but I guess its a bit too late and the way it pans out is worthy of note.
Months ago as we returned from lunch , he with a spring in his step was jumping around hitting some signs hitting across the office corridor.
I remarked in my blunt manner smilingly that had you done this when you were young it would have been better.
He immediately said you should not say such and i realized ok ok one does get touchy .
Today nearly 3 to 4 months later as we were going for lunch he instinctively jumped to hit the sign post and and then checked himself with
clenched fist. I noticed that and later during some remark of his I remarked that you act as if you dont care but this
is how at heart you take things.
And now in front of my boss the joke continues.
He:You know what would happen if I tell to the HR what you said says he.
Me: Oh go ahead tell it to HR.After all i just spoke about the benefits of such jumps when young 
rather than now.
He: No No This is a hurt to short people and discrimination.
Me: Ok enjoy yourself go and complain
He: yeah then I will become famous about a reverse case of discrimination.
Me: May be but then you dont know how many well wishers I will have who would say what a brave girl – just said what’s on her mind while we could not say it .
He: Ha ha nopes nothing like that will happen
My Boss; Smilingy indulging us while making mental notes – yeah by the end of it all the organization will have to hang all signs too low so
that no person feels short when trying to hit them.
Now all this was done with smiling faces . This exactly is why A joke is always a serious thing.
Life’s a vicious circle we all somehow fall in and it nurtures itself on and on.
Jeevan tum ek kavita ho
Goodh – asthir antara
Iss bhoogolik sangrah ka
Jiski lipi tatha bhaasha ka gyan
Na tumhen hai aur na mujhe
Phir bhi dono prayas karte hain
Jeene ka – sthir hone ka.
Good one Yamini,
Rama
Thanks rama – glad you liked it
IKWP: Thanks for the lovely lines .
Such nice hindi poetry invariably reminds me of my school days with its Hindi Poetry book Parikrama and some poems which I suprise myself by remembering for e.g
kaun keh raha banjaron sa ye jeevan bekaar hai
mai sabka hun sab mere hai sabse mujko pyaar hai
