RT#5
I don't know the kid's name. Must be around five. Was shopping with her mother enjoying a lollipop. The little girl went round the mini departmental store several times before her mother could pick up a couple of things. My attention was on the sprightly little child. The mother paid the bill and was out of the shop when the kid decided to add pears soap to the purchase.
Mother refuses to add soap to the purchase. The child does not give in. Fun filled exchanges between them has the shop keeper and me smiling. The mother is out of the shop and the imp calls out after checking with the shop keeper " it is only twenty two rupees".
No says the mother and the child soap in hand goes back and forth calling to the mother.At last in comes the mother and says half resignedly to the shopwala " I don't have the money and shall send it through tomorrow".
And my surprise knew no bounds when the child promptly plucked the soap from the shopping basket and put it back on the stand and went out silently.
What surprised me was, in spite of wanting the soap badly the kid less than five thought the transaction was complete only when the money was paid in!

RT#4
Is it really true that we want some drama in our life?
Some constantly complain about some physical disorder or the other and in contrast some are at their best if they find themselves in the company of the former because "finding solutions" is their cup of tea.
We come across so many who constantly have a grouse against some person or the existing Government or the insensibility of homo sapiens to the ecology and the list is endless.
I have heard people who animatedly argue how the world is increasingly intolerant, increasingly becoming materialistic,too dependant on machines and the list is endless.
So few are well adjusted to their surroundings and happy with their lot. That is why the person in RT#3 made such an impact on me.
Then where does drama and excitement in life come in? Do they co exist with happiness? Is happiness a superset of these attributes? Let me ponder....
