Few months
ago I had an experience………..
I was traveling by train, in the next station of mine; approx. a 40 yr old person
boarded the train and sat beside me. After 20 minutes my co-passenger received
a call and starts to talk, first 10 minutes he talked about their work and then
the caller mentioned about a girl, I realized it hearing their conversation. The
girl about whom they were talking has completed M.Tech. Five years ago, the
main theme of their conversation was ----why that girl is still unmarried, for
30 minutes they talked about it and assumed all most all the probable reasons.
The caller referred certain person to my co-passenger who can provide better
info about tat girl, After completing conversation with the caller my
co-passenger made a call to that person and intellectually start to take info
about that girl, but seeing his expression I realized that he is not satisfied
with the info, so he called another person and again intellectually he started
to take info about that girl. The journey was two hours long and my
co-passenger spent all this two hours in taking the info about the girl. From
their conversation I have made a list they have made, the probable reasons why
that girl is still unmarried
1. Probably
she got ditched in love.
2. Probably her
parents are not performing their responsibilities for her marriage.
3. Probably
she loves someone and her lover is still unable to take the responsibilities of
their married life.
4. Probably her
father had lots of loans and the girl is still busy to compensate the loans and
so unable to arrange money for her marriage
.5. Probably
she has some physical problem.
6. Probably
she does not have belief in the concept of marriage.
My co-passenger
made all these assumptions and shared his view with everyone he called.
When we were
about to leave the train he received a call from home and the caller asked …”why
your phone was busy? I was trying for last one hour”
This is the
sentence I guessed from his answer because he replied …’I was busy to talk with
the students about the upcoming exam, in between ten minutes I will reach home”.
The most ridiculous,
astonishing and bewildering fact is my co-passenger is a professor of a
renowned college.
I came to
know about his profession when he was talking with the first caller, he was
informing that the upcoming exam will not be taken because of strike; the next
date will be announced very soon. He also gave some suggestions about the exam.
I had to travel one our bus journey…in that
bus journey I was searching answers of few questions after this incident----
1. Are this
the signs of a literate person?
2. What is the
profit to spend time in gossiping about others?
3. If u
can’t make good to someone then why spending time for that person.
4. Is it
right to make assumptions about someone and spreading it among others? How will
you feel if it happens with you?
5. Is it right
to make assumptions about someone without knowing the truth
6. If the
Professor is really concerned or worried about that girl, if he really have
good intentions then why he is not talking with the girl? Why he is not trying
to solve her problem (if any)? I have come to know that the girl is also a
student of that professor
7. is it
wrong to spend your life in your way, especially when you are self-dependent (that
girl works as a part time lecturer).
8. Is it
wrong to struggle for your dreams?
9. What type
of pleasures these types of people get spreading a rumor about someone?
10. The time
these types of people spend to make gossip about someone…. why don’t they spend
that time for some good, constructive works?
In the one hour
bus journey I was trying to find out the answers of these questions. Why some
people are so much interested to melt their noses in others matter.
If I am
requested to express my feelings when I was hearing their conversations then I
will say----I was getting an inner feeling to beat that Professor….
