Friends.....


Well….I admit I’d been away for a whi…le :p
But anyways….I’m back now ….. & this is what brought me back:

Was trying to find one of the very important articles on Comparative Advertising, & this is what I found in the pile:-
An (apparently) useless piece of paper, with some scribbling on it. Whatever had been scribbled in also had a title – Personal Relations
& golly I was pushed back in time…well….some 15 days back when I had just had a silly fight with one of my closest pals :(
Matter? Don’t remember….just that ‘twas too trivial. Anyways, we had different opinions on some matter & were trying to show each other our resp. points of view. While this was continuing for some time….we suddenly entered a cold war kind of situation & yup, that was it. We resumed our resp. works with uncanny walls of ego getting taller & itchier every second. I went up to my pal, offered him a sandwich that I had got for lunch, and said “let’s forget this silly fight” …. pat came the reply “there’s nothing wrong; you’re simply pulling it too long for no reason”…..& though my head said “forget it”, my silly heart couldn’t & kept telling me “settle it or let it sulk at the back of your heads growing heavier n itchier”.

Ah….women! : ….. why can’t we let things be & move on? You know what …… it doesn’t work that way …. If you don’t solve a problem – however puny – it’s sure to stay there …. It definitely can’t solve itself. Well….if you can afford to let it be don’t juggle your head off on it ….. but if the person or matter is important ….. you need to disentangle the whole DAMNED thing ….. phew!
Well this is what I believe, guess this is what most women believe ….. that explains why we’re fussier :p
But that also makes us SMARTER :)

Anyways….I was restless…..I wanted to resolve it & my friend (obviously a male, who couldn’t see the importance and pleasantness of the solved state) chose to mum-up to the matter. So, I chose to vent it out on a piece of paper; & this is what I wrote:

PR
Well, many would believe that some things are best when left unfinished. Hah…..I don’t believe this when the aforesaid “some” crosses all bounds of “some”ness to reach the universal set. Well, I don’t mind quitting a lifeless project halfway or even 99/100th way (for that matter) when I see that ‘twas a mistake to get started on it; but I need to see stout reason why ‘twould not work. & when it comes to PR, when some things have gone wrong, I need to clear up the clutter (however small) before I can rest – at ease.
This silly fight with my dear pal has stretched on to a brawl of words, & before things could be settled, what’s come in the way is our dear set of egos….

I hadn’t finished …when my dear friend came up to me & snatched this paper off me n read it. & here’s what he added
Fight is over & now we are eating sandwiches. No ego can come between us!! That’s what makes our friendship so strong; & it will only grow stronger!!! AMEN!

Happy ending! :)
