Good to be back and updating my blog. Had been and still am busy with my work. It's seasonal and have to put in extra hours during seasons. I have a good reason to be blogging, like yesterday I experienced a funny situation where something got screwed and it wasn't anybody's fault, perfect setting, three rights don't necessarily make a right!
My friend, a Haryanvi Brahmin, wanted to have chicken for dinner, but being really naïve in the art of kitchen shopping, asked for my directions. I educated him on the necessity of learning this art (in case he wanted to surprise his future wife with a romantic dinner), and I gave him the directions to the nearest meat shop. He went away, came back happy he had a bargain.
Now, when I took the meat out to cook, lo! there was pork, no chicken. He was surprised. What had happened was he had taken the route as directed, but unfortunately came to a pork vendor first, and uneducated in the art of recognizing meat (remember he is a Haryanvi Brahmin), he without much ado and inquiry got a kilogram of it, believing it to be chicken. The vendor didn't find it necessary to tell him it was pork, because it was pork.
I was not at fault, he was not at fault, he was following instructions, the vendor was not at fault, and we ended up having pork instead of chicken. Three cheers.
Just in passing, Mahatma Gandhi's "The Story of My Experiments with Truth" is a must read.

It was interesting, but James write back to me. I need your help.
Apologising does not mean that You / Other are wrong and the Other / You is Rright. It only means that You / Other value the relationship much more than your EGO.
Your freind needs your HELP, I may be writing to you for the last time. I was always a friend to you.
Wishing you a very bad DAY !!

Splendid unknown experience by your Haryanvi friend and Kudos to him!
Roshan did narrate to me yesterday and had a glimpse of the incident but i had to read it for myself.
Hilarious would be the word for the so called incident and at the end of the day we all act like morons which it does leaves an imprint to all our lives. And there goes out the frienship no matter whether right or wrong.
