Teachings

. Wednesday, June 27, 2007

"Where are you upto Boss? its not yet the weekend. You should be heading to office?" said 36772.
"You are right dude. I am just leaving for office." said 26633, his neighbour."
"with those on your feet?"
26633 didn't understand at once, but then he found the nasty look on 36772's face ridiculing his floaters.
"Don't mind!!! I know your company has no rules on the outfits, but still I think you shouldn't be wearing them to office", continued 36772.
"Oh come on dude. You are not serious. Are you? I like wearing them... (smiling) especially to the office." said 26633.
"Alright... if you please to... so you didn't return home last night."
"I was at one of my friends' place last night, with another of his friends around,(26633 told 36772)and we were not surely on the grounds. {smiles crossed} And different personalities react differently when they are flying high. So there was this guy, 16690, who gets philosophical in such an aura."
"16690 started all kinds of crap(26633 continued...), crap definitely is a super class which has many subclasses..."
"What did he do?" asked 36772.
"Ohhh", 26633 said,"16690 was giving some incidence happened in his life a few days back. This guy was working for IBM when he lastly worked under someone."
"What do you mean by that? He is jobless right now"
"No ra... 16690 now works for himself, he was a web-developer and now runs his own company."
"What's his company's name?", asked 36772.
"You think I was interested in knowing that and that too at the level I was on. He says he makes a lot these days, as he is the only employee of his company"
"So that's good for him, but what was the incidence that had happened?"
"Well, 16690 had been working on a major product for a client, who was charged big bucks for it. And he had been the only one in the organization so he had no software management tool"
"Software Management tool? that's the same thing which logs all the activities done on the code of the project. rite? Which one do you people use in your company?"
(26633 might have thought why is this guy always interested in comparing the tools used in his company with others.)
"Cut that, else I will forget to tell what I was telling you."
36772 nodded blankly.
"So what happened with 16690," continued 26633, "was that his computer on which he had worked for over a month day-in-and-day-out, crashed leaving him with just slag. He was in a situation of starting with scratch."
"Shit! What did he do then?" muzzled 36772.
"He said he had become suicidal and all, but then he resumed his senses, and tried to get most of the data. I don't know whether he lost some data or not, but to show he had a tough time, he told us that he could not recover the whole stuff."
"So??? that wasn't philosophical!!!"
"I know that wasn't. It was just the prelude, dude. The whole night went in just one topic discussion. I couldn't resist giving my ears rest, but I guess it went longer than I can imagine."
"But what was there to discuss?" asked 36772.
"Well 16690's third degree torture had just started. He orated that nature wants everyone to learn things in easy way, our own way, ways we are comfortable in, but if we don't learn it that way, nature makes us learn it the HARD WAY. I am just giving you the essence dude, but the discussion on this had eaten my sleep and night and made me come back to the ground level"
"I can understand and I pity you", sympathised 36772.
"Yes, I mean why on all become so philosophical with these things? And, there is no weight in the crap of nature's HARD WAY of teaching. I couldn't take any more of it, so I slept and started my dream-wagon."
26633 looks at his watch.
"Anyways, I gotta rush to office now", continued 26633, "and you also should get ready for office. BYE"

Two days later was a Friday, 26633 had gone again to his another friend to catch a flight without the air-tickets. He stayed over at his friend's place. And when he was about to leave, the next day, his friend's place. He realised his few things were missing. Someone broke into the house and flicked away 26633's valuable stuff.

Next Monday, when 26633 was rushing for the office in the morning, 36772 asked him, "Where are your floaters, boss?"
26633 said sadly, "They are stolen at my friend's place."
"...if not easy way, Nature makes us learn the HARD WAY", with a-mile-long-smile, 36772 couldn't resist saying.
