Scars

Memory seems to be the hardest forged piece of steel. Some of them might gather rust over time and instead of making them weak, they become more lethal with each passing day.

At a usual day of work at our store where we sell furniture, all we do each day is to woo customers with our offers, catchy phrases, "Never before, Never again" deals; so that the more we sell, the more we get paid by our boss. Mr. Joseph, a tall man wearing a black cowboy hat walks in with his three daughters ten minutes before closing time. He asks me for a "best mattress available" and I show him a couple of them. He sits on each one, and asks his kids to jump over to check how well they're bouncing on it (meanwhile, I was saying to myself- what freak of a dad and kids are they!).
While all this was going on, I was convincing him with my before mentioned techniques/tricks/whatever in convincing him to buy the mattress. Then he tells me that he's not been sleeping well and before he could continue, I re-assure him that this particular mattress will solve his sleep deprivation, blab blah. He comes closer to me and says, "Young man, I've not been sleeping each night since August. My wife died in my arms, on our bed".

Meow Fights

A week without any new posts. Not that I was so busy to not leave any chance to 'idle'lize my mind, but did not want to fill the kharkhana with junk. Anyway, last evening I suddenly slipped into the memoirs of my Bachelor's days....As I was enjoying the good ones, I got held up at this particular point- Why can't a set of girls (married/unmarried/in-r'ship/out of r'ship) be the best of friends??

At one point, they're like a "Paradigm" of friendship and within no time it seems like even the long gone cold war seems like a no-match when compared to the cold war between these belligerents. The worst affected are the common friends of these women who simply hear the phrase "What do I know?", when asked about the other! These friends are poorer than the actual refugees, who cannot take refuge in either of the parties for obvious reasons. And when you take the bold initiative to mediate a Peace process,- Damn!!! you just cannot hear what they talk about each other!!!!!

When you thought all was over, one fine day when you wake up, all seems to be fine between them, God knows how......and you have the biggest realization of your life, that you are a -FOOL.

This is not a complaint about girls or "Men are superior" argument, but simply a question. Is anybody there to answer this, or the Creator Himself should descend the heavens to answer?

( Or actually, is this why the Creator never descends to earth cos He's bound to answer this one?)
