Weirdness Makes Life Beautiful!!

                                   

There is weirdness in this world and that's what brings awesomeness to our lives. I have always loved weird things. Anything that deviates from the mundane life makes us feel special. Life almost comes to a standstill once we start working.

When I was a kid, I kept wondering why dad does the same things when he returned from office. Isn't he bored doing the same thing again and again everyday?

 Today, I am not intrigued at this fact. Life is same 24*7, week after week. This same job, same problems and very few friends make up our life.

 A decade would be over, once we start realizing the things happening around us. During this boring journey, small but beautiful memories bring cheers to our lives. It's better to find happiness in every small thing we do or perish regretting for the lost time.

A smile by a total stranger or a kid waving at you, or a surprise gift by an old friend is the moments that add joy and fun. I will try to recollect a few memories and bring a smile on your beautiful face. Enjoy reading.

1)      I always had doubts about many things since childhood and didn't know where to find answers; over time I got answers to a few. And a few of those few are here.

a)      Can we fly?

A: Yes, in a plane.

b)      Is love at first sight possible?

A: Yes, depends on where you look at.

c)       When does a boy become a man and a girl a woman?

A: When someone tells him/her.

d)      What is the weight of soul?

A: the difference in weight of the body when alive and dead.

e) Why are human beings so stupid?

A: Law of nature, to balance the intelligence of other creatures.

2)      I was waiting for a friend in a mall and two kids (possibly siblings) were playing. One of them came to me.

                           

Kid: Shall we play a game?

Me: sure.

Kid: You can ask me two questions and I will ask you only one question, that’s the game.

Me: Sure

Kid: No cheating! You ask first.

The kid was around 10 years old. I thought it was time for little fun.

Me: I have 3 apples. How can we divide it equally?

Kid: We will take one each and give the remaining one to my sister.

I looked around, no one was watching. (My internal voice: Stupid Sai, what is this?)

Me: That was good. Are you ready for next one?

Kid: Yes.

Me: How many people are in this mall?

Kid: 2300.

Me: How do you know?

Kid: Go and count if you want. It’s my turn to ask now.

Me: Fine. Ask anything!! (If he can act smart, I can act smarter!!!)

Kid: okay, give me 100 Rupees.

3) This incident happened when I had been to a neighboring state for a paper presentation. The day ended satisfactorily and we were accommodated in an on campus hostel. It was around 1 am and I was finding it very hard to sleep (I always find it hard- read Sleepless Nights). I looked at my friends, they were in deep sleep, and I was restless. I tried waking them up, no one gave a care. I went near the window.

There were a group of people playing music and singing songs. They looked like a local crowd. I went out of the hostel and stood at a distance from them, my shadow falling on the street. One of the girls was quick to notice and waved at me. I waved back and went to them.

I introduced myself and joined them. They continued with their, so called music. That was funny, I couldn't understand a word. The same girl noticed my plight and asked me if I know to play badminton.

We went to the indoor stadium, there were a few people playing there. The indoor stadium was a small one compared to my college. We found an empty court and started playing. She started the conversation.

She: I heard the girls in Bangalore are hot?

Me: Maybe, if I knew the definition of what you mean by ‘hot’. Anyway, I prefer the cute ones.

She: Haha.

The girls just know how to start a conversation and not how to continue:-P or is it that they pretend so?

Me: I haven’t heard of any hot guys here!

She: Haha.

Well, what to decipher from her laughs. She hit a smash.

She: Looks like the Bangalore kid lost concentration. Haha

Me: Haha. Haha... stop this non sense, wasn't this supposed to be a casual game?

She: well, yeah. Anyway, what’s your name? I couldn't hear over then with drum sounds.

Me: Sai. And what’s yours?

She: Serendipity.

Me: oh, come on.

She: Haha. I like pulling your leg.

Me: You don’t even know me.

She: You don’t know me either.

Me: so you are serendipity. What a nice name.

She: Haha.

Well, this girl was no different. I wondered if all girls are like this or is it that only I run into girls of this sort.

She: Sai?

Me: Yes. Serendipity! (I felt myself stupid calling her by this name)

She: Don’t you think it’s very weird of both of us meeting here, having never met before and playing in the midnight.

Me: I find nothing weird. I was awake, heard you people making noise. Err; playing music and so came down, now we are here.

She: Yes maybe. But it was nice meeting you

Me: of course. It must be. You had all the fun.

She: So have you watched the movie?

Me: which movie?

She: Serendipity. Haha.

This time I couldn't control the laughter.

Me: Yes, I have seen the movie and one of my favorites.

She: Actually I saw you in the canteen today during lunch and was surprised to see you here again and so I called my name so.

Well these are the few memories which last with me forever, the kid and the girl whose names I don’t know are the ones to whom I dedicate this post to.

Note to the Apple kid and the Serendipity girl: If at all you read this blog at any point of time in your life, I’ll be blessed to meet you again.
