Understanding people is …….

This day, for the first time, I felt the importance of understanding people well deeply. Today I surprised few of my close friends by gifting them a table top photo frame containing a group picture which we had taken a few days back. They could immediately guess that the gifts can from me as soon as they saw them on their desks, which I placed the night before. They were so happy to see the photo symbolizing the strength of bonding with in us that, girls in our group expressed a bit of sentimental feeling also. All this was so good.

But in contrary to the emotion flowing here, few of them surprised me in turn by complaining about their look in the picture than recalling and enjoying the memories bonded in it. They suggested I could have used a better photo where I wanted them to see the closeness and remember the sweet things behind it. They couldn’t see the smiling faces of others but were upset with the angle of their face.

It is really tough to understand all of them, when they are really close to your heart also.

Contacted a different world …. Did I?

I always knew it existed and used to proudly boast that I would coexist with it for sure. But when finally God choose a perfect time to give me a glimpse of this highly publicized world, I failed him.

Few days back, as I was returning from my gym, totally exhausted and all of the sudden this exhaustion was dominated by excitement as my buddy spelled seeds of a movie plan. At this time I didn’t know what was destined to happen?

As we reached the theater, passing by huge crowds, we lost the hope of getting tickets. But my friend pulled up himself and jumped in to the crowd and got us tickets. He was a savior of my draining enthuse at that movement, which lasted for few minutes until he revealed the truth that he got us the last grade tickets. He coaxed and convinced us that it would be a new and different but not a bad experience.

Satisfied by his convincing skills, I had a look at my ticket and could not help noticing that the ticket sans seating number. Again this God’s play called for my friend’s role who suppressed my fears by his confidence saying he would go first and hold good seats for us, which is the process for theaters which sans seating numbers.

As the gates were opened I waited with the other crowd trying to get in as the audiences of previous show were flowing out. As and when the In gates were opened I could feel the pain in my body vessels which were crying out of heavy pressure from squeezing. Any how after taking lot of pain some how made it in or I would say squeezed in. but the good news was that my confident friend could make in so fast that he could hold good seats for us. We comforted ourselves as the movie started. The movie was good and almost believed that the trauma was done for the day, but not in real. Suddenly there were people rushing into the already completely full theater and I was observing them to see where they would be accommodated. They all started settling all over the walk way and to my shock in the open spaces between seats also.

As I was recovering from this, all the people around me encouraged by the group who just got seated were weaseling and shouting in my ears for every good scene in the movie. I would not take it as I was not enjoying the movie dominated by the trauma.

I couldn’t take this small contact of 3 hours, but took it granted that I could coexist with this world, till date. I failed this time but it was a good experience for a try.
