Avoidable

Kishor Babani’s music provided the only solace to an otherwise stressful morning. It has to be said that a lot of thought and application has gone into the selection and sequencing of the song recordings, such that people of all tastes and inclinations are drawn to them automatically. A vintage Ramaiyya Wasta Vaiyya is followed by a modern Holey Holey Pyar… and in turn, by a soulful Phoolon Ke Rang Se… and then a foot-tapping Rahat Fateh Ali Khan… Whether it is Khatoon Baig or Hari Singh Shekhawat, Srichand Arora or Nafisa Syed, everybody gets equally absorbed in this moody musical mélange.
But for this, the less said about today’s developments the better. Big Laaf will desist from commenting on them in the hope that good sense prevails among members who use the language of coercion, threat, browbeating and bringing others to tears (yes, it happened today) in order to have their way. This is plain unnecessary.Nobody is obliged to begin the day in these stressful conditions. At the same time, it is imperative that the group remains together through thick and thin. Every member is important. So, instead of adding fuel to an already flagrant situation, the blog chooses to distance itself from whatever happened in the morning.
On a positive note though, here’s something (left) that might cheer you up:
A wise man once sat in the audience and cracked a joke. All laughed like crazy. After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time.
He cracked the same joke again and again. When there was no laughter in the crowd,
he smiled and said: “When you can't laugh on the same joke again and again, then why do you keep crying over the same thing over and over again?”
Forget the past and move on…

Oh my goodness me! Just when I thought things were all in the past and everyone moved on, it is strange to know that people hold on to petty things for so long. I think there are better things to consider and worth thinking about. We are a group and one would think we have known each other for a while now to hold on to grudges and move on. Is it worth dragging such a small topic, which had no meaning to begin with, and dig deeper into the subject, thus making a mountain out of it? I haven't been attending the morning sessions for a while now, but am updated by the blog. Please, let's live for today and try to bring in more happiness amongst each other. There are enough sorrows in this world!
