A few months back I was sitting in Saravana bhava , (Ashok nagar) with an " affordable" friend . It is indeed a place where all the veggies go, no matter how many times they get bored. And most of the traders carry on their business ,many a time loudly, over a cup of coffee and ruin the aura like a boss.

As usual I kept observing human behaviour before they served food. Chuck the phonewala youth, looking at the kids can make you smile.Next to my table were two guys in formal clothes persuading someone in his sixties , sitting opposite to them. That sixty year old someone was in full white clothing bedecked with gold . He looked like a modern day Egyptian Pharoah .The guys were trading shares it seemed. I will mention him as Tutankhamen. 

Guy: Sir , you are our most important client. We will make sure this never happens again.

Tut : Dai ( in whispers and he was admonishing them with his index finger )

Guy: I am sorry Sir. It was just a confusion sir. No money has been lost.

Tut : Sipping the coffee like a villain.

Guy: Sir , sir ... There wont be a problem for you at all sir. Forgive us.

Tut: Do you know who I am? How rich I am? With whom you are messing with? 

[ Slams the table with the fragile golden hands ] . 

Suddenly we were experiencing the Vishwaroopam. Volume goes from level Manmohan Singh to Arnab Goswami .His tone was disturbing. A baby started crying. The situation became intense. He kept making calls and tried to shout his maximum. The waiter was waiting at the corner of the room , peeping at the table, too frightened to give the bill. 

As my concentration shifted to the Paneer dosa brought to my table , I realized that my childhood was based on a lie. Money can make a life comfortable. It can buy you a coffee from Saravana Bhava and doesn't let you taste a drop of it . Such a bitch it is. Success gives money and money will not give you happiness. Not all the time.

And the rich part of the city is full of inflated egos in inflated bodies. When will people find happiness in forgiving others ? It takes a minute to forgive someone who realises his mistake and feels sorry for it. From electric trains , hotels, college and workplaces , if we impart the simple principle of " free ya vidu maame " , we can actually devote time for experiencing other wonderful things everyday.

We all are humans. I am another you. When we choose to destroy our egos and choose to be simple , we can perform with our complete potential and enjoy the present far better. Look at Yanni or ARR , look at Sachin , look how Thalaivar Rajnikanth chose to live. 

Stop spending time for talking about the emotions of the people whom you don't care . And the people who you love , forgive them for their mistakes like your mother did to you. Let us live like the kid we were once. We certainly miss doing all the stuffs we did happily at age ten. Everything was so simple by then. We were uncorrupted by our egos and were happy for no reason. 

Life is amazingly fast . When you see people fight with silly emotions and egos , move a step back and observe human behaviour. Trust me , it is fun to observe when compared to rolling in the mud with them. Or simply move on . 

Like my thala Mark Twain said , 'Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.'

Found this on the internet. Sums up everything .
