The book called friendship

-

What happens sometimes is that while reading the book called friendship, if one of the two people tends to read the chapters faster than his partner than the gap between their psychological understanding of each other increases. The catch is they don’t realise it as it feels awkward to ask your buddy that ‘hey dude, how dedicated you are to this bond?’ The guy who is reading faster continues to do so while unconsciously thinking that his partner is reading at the same pace. This gap tends to increase with each conversation. One day when you feel agitated by some action of your friend than it all comes to you that, Yes, I may have been reading this ‘book called friendship’ faster than my friend.

For a healthy friendship it’s important that the people involved must be on the ‘same page’. Their reading speed should sync with each other. What one doesn’t know should also be forbidden by other, this helps keeping things even. The guy who has reached farther in the book may feel upset when his company doesn’t know the answers of the situations which according to (normal reader) are yet to come.

What to do? First, it’s important to select what’s more important? The friend or the friendship? If you select friendship than you don’t have to do anything just keep reading until one of you finishes the book, closes it and let the book bite the dust. This is the best way I believe to break the bond as no harm is done and no grudges are made.

The first requires patience and perseverance towards your friend. The fast reader should use patience by not continuing to read the book, (don’t reach to conclusions yet). Now what happens is when you don’t read a book for some time you tend to forget the learnings of chapters. Agree? The fast reader should open the book after a duration to revise the chapters and there are good chances that he will meet his fellow reader again. They can again start but now the fast reader knows what’s the exact pace. So the friendship is not lost but I can agree that the strain in the relation is inevitable due to the gap which was caused earlier. It will not look as a compromise to the guy who chose the first option.

Why we hesitate?

-
To my friends who say they ‘hesitate’ to speak in public. Why we hesitate? We fear the laughs, specially the whispering among ears and think of it as indignation(insult), don’t we? This is a very common characteristic; I’m not defining it as a problem because if that would have been the case only few people would have suffered but I can’t say about the world but when I see you (my class), I guess everyone suffers with this kind of hesitation. Now, it is not that we don’t bother to improve, even I had discussions with many of you regarding the issues with language ‘English’. “Merko meri English strong karni h, kaise kru?” My reply has always been to take the first step, read newspapers, watch English comedies/movies etc. I just want to ask one thing to you guys that how many of you are really trying to improve on speaking skills? The answer is the measure of consistency to achieve our goals. The biggest mistake that we are doing is not ‘assigning priority’ to lea...

                              Decisions The cause of unhappiness is nothing but our choices. We are being called as adults when we develop the ability to decide whats good and bad for us. Our lives are totally based on decisions. The consequences of these decisions get shallow as we move forward in our lives. Yes, not deeper as they say its better to start early. Similarly if we make farsighted decisions at early age than it certainly makes up for some wrong choices that we could possibly make in our future. That decision could be anything for eg. A student who is interested in computers can start to learn code early. Students in college can gain some extra skills which they will need in corporate world. As an earning man one can decide to invest for security in future. But the point is that when we are in those situations we are not in state of analysing things. Ofcourse its the lack of analysis that drives u...

The realisation

                                                             This is a story of a world where desire of people got so big that they could get anything in a day and just with a click. The world in which each toddler had a phone and the families stopped talking because the meaning was gone. This was the great year ‘2020’. Though men made the internet but internet overpowered men, its purpose was to raise the bar of human intelligence but young and adult didn’t used it for that. More the knowledge stronger is the will but people used it only for Netflix and chill. As a consequence, the eyes of the bright grew squarer and the intellectual ability of people reached to a horror. Then came the virus, which made the...
