WHAT IS TO BE WRAPPED?

NUDE BODY IS TO BE DRAPPED TO AVOID OBSCENITY.

A FOOD STUFF NEED PROTECTION FROM DUST IS TO BE PACKED.

SOMETHING NEED TO HIDE FROM OTHERS IS TO BE COVERED.

THE PROVISIONS PURCHASED ARE TO BE PACKED FOR CONVENIENCE.

SCATTERED ITEMS NEED A BIG-SHOPPER OR A CARRY BAG TO HOLD ON.

I HAVE A COVER TO CARRY; I WILL PUT THAT INSIDE MY HAND BAG.

I HAVE TO BUY A HAND BAG; I WILL GET THAT WRAPPED IN A PAPER.

IF I HAVE SOME PAPER TO CARRY, I FIND SOME THING TO COVER THAT.

THE CONSUMER PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN BEAUTIFUL PACKETS.

WE FEAR PEOPLE SEEING WE PURCHASED THAT.

THE VENDOR PACKS THAT IN ANOTHER CARTON.

THE CARTON MAY ALSO CARRY SOME BRAND NAMES.

WE HAVE NO FEAR TO CARRY THAT PACKET.

BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT CARRYING THE EXHIBITED BRAND.

SUPPOSE WE HAD PURCHASED THE BRANDED ONE IN THE CARTON.

WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OUR DEMAND TO THE VENDOR?

TO PACK THEM IN ANOTHER COVER, PACKET OR CARRY BAG.

WE ARE LEAST BOTHERED TO CARRY ANY ADVERTISEMENT.

BUT ONE THING IS PARTICULAR.

THAT ADD SHOULD NOT BE OF THE CONTENT KEPT INSIDE.

DON’T YOU FEEL WONDERFUL?

SMILING FOR GAIN!

APPEASEMENT IS A WHOLESALE SMILE FOR A WHOLESALE GAIN.

I SAW DAY OLD LITTLE BABY SMILING TO THE INFINITY.

IT MAY SMILE EVEN AT SLEEP.

IT IS TO THE GOD, WE SAY.

IT CAN SEE THE ALMIGHTY.

****

WHEN IT GREW UP, IT SMILED TO ITS PARENTS FOR AFFECTION.

IT SMILED TO THE WELLWISHERS FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION.

WHEN FURTHER GROWN UP, HE SMILED TO OTHERS FOR FRIENDSHIP.

HIS SMILE TO THE OPPOSITE SEX WAS ALSO MEANINGFUL.

HE SMILED TO THE BUS DRIVER

FOR STOPPING THE BUS AT HIS HAND POST.

HE SMILED TO THE CONDUCTOR FOR GETTING THE CASH BALANCE.

HE PLEASED HIS EMPLOYER WITH PSEUDO SMILE.

IN THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN HE SMILED PROFUSELY TO THE VOTERS.

AS A SHOPKEEPER HE SMILED TO THE CONSUMERS.

AS AN AUTO DRIVER HE BEAMED TO ALL THE PASSERS BY.

****

HAD HE SMILED TO ANYONE,

FROM WHOM HE NOT EXPECTED ANY GAIN.

NO, SMILE IS FOR GAIN. YES, GAIN ONLY.

WHERE THERE IS NO GAIN THERE IS NO SMILE.

IT IS AN ACT OF SALESMANSHIP.

IF YOU ARE SMILING TO YOUR IMAGE IN THE MIRROR,

THAT ALSO IS FOR A GAIN, THE SATISFACTION.

IF SOMEBODY SMILED AT YOU, IT IS FOR HIS GAIN.

****

SMILE IS THE GREATEST TRICK, WHICH MEN ALONE KNOW.

ALL WHAT HE GAINED ARE WITH THIS TRICK.

LOVE, RECOGNITION, FRIENDSHIP, POSITION, PROFESSION,

MONEY, MATERIAL AND WHAT NOT?

THERE SHOULD BE AN ACADEMY TO TEACH CATCHING SMILE.

****

WHEN A GOVERNMENT SMILED TO A SECTOR OF PEOPLE,

IT IS SURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT EXPECTS SOME THING.

IT CAN BE THE SUPPORT OF THE SECTOR, OR FOR A VOTE BANK.

WE CALL THAT AS ‘APPEASEMENT’.

SO PROPITIATION CAN BE CALLED AS LARGE SCALE SMILE.

It is a wholesale SMILE for a wholesale gain.

REBIRTH.

  IF YOU GET A REBIRTH AFTER THIS LIFE TENURE, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DESIRE?

  YOU LIKE TO BECOME AN EMPEROR, A CHIEFTEN.

  OR, IS IT YOUR AMBITION TO BECOME A FILM STAR OR AN ARTIST.

  PROBABLY YOU MAY HAVE THE GREED TO BECOME A RICH MAN.

  AT THE END OF ALL THE DESIRES, THE GOAL IS COMFORT, CONVENIENCE AND REST.

 WE WANT TO TAKE REST IN THE NEXT LIFE ALSO TO ENJOY THE LIFE UP TO THE LEES.

  NOBODY LIKES TO GET THE LIFE OF ANYTHING INFERIOR TO HUMAN LIFE.

  NO ONE WANTS THE LIFE OF A BIRD, A BUTTERFLY OR EVEN A LION THE KING.

  I FEEL THE LIFE OF MAN THE MOST STRESSFUL, HOWEVER EXALTED THE POSITION IS.

  AS A KING, I WILL NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO WALK FREELY ALONE.

  AS A RICHMAN I WILL NOT HAVE THE SAFTY TO SLEEP WITHOUT SECURITY.

 AS A POLITICAL LEADER, I WILL NOT HAVE LEISURE TO STAY WITH MY FAMILY.

  WHILE SCRIBING THE SCRIPT, IFELT THE TENDER RUB OF MY PET CAT AT MY FOOT.

  IT HAS NO WORK, NO DUTY, NO SCARCITY FOR FOOD, NO THREAT ON SECURITY.

  IT HAS ONLY TWO THREE ACTIVITIES; EATING, CLEANING BODY AND SLEEPING.

  IT HAS ALL THE SAFTY WITH US.

  ALL RIGHTS TO ENTER IN THE HOUSE; EVERYWHERE, AT THE KITCHEN TO THE BED.

  SAFTY, FREEDOM, FOOD AND AFFECTION, TENDERCARE AND WHAT NOT?

  FOR A FEW MOMENTS I THOUGHT.

  WHY SHOULD I NOT BE A PET CAT IN THE NEXT BIRTH, IF THERE ALLOWS AN OPTION.

LIFE TARGETS

THERE SHOULD BE THREE LEVELS OF TARGETS- HIGH, MEDIUM AND LOW.

We put certain targets for all our expectations.

When the target is in the highest level,

We call that as ambition or greed. That is our vision.

Quite often we have this high level of expectations only.

If some thing adverse happened and the visions are toppled, we would be perplexed, perturbed and frustrated.

There can be a nervous break down too!

How can we alleviate the probable tension of disappointment?

The best solution is to foresee things in multi dimension.

A three tier of anticipations in the life targets can be projected.

A highest one a median one and a lowest one.

Let me cite a common contemporary example.

Suppose my son passed the examination with distinction,

 I will send him for Medical science.

If his performance is average,

He will be sent to a local college for Degree course.

In case he comes out with a least result,

His place will be in a Parallel College.

How safe is my target.

I will not be desperate or over jovial to face the real situation.

Caution: Whether this strategy is applicable in all walks of life. For a life scouring game, a severely injured relative put up in the ICU, whose stage is critical, can we leave three options? Live, Paralyzed or dead! No, not at all. That is why I referred the three-tier system to the life targets. Target is some thing, which is tangible with our effort. Life is not like that; it is with the disposal of the God almighty.
