Whats your question..

Today was my first day, and we played a little game, each of the little ones were asked to ask a question to which they have been dying to know an answer to. And us, the so called more educated and more mature ones would attempt to answer them.

After a silence of about 30 seconds, the questions started pouring in. Why is there this difference between women and men? Why do only women pay dowry? Why was Gandhi a Mahatma. We answered all of them. We, all educated smart, well do to individuals. Independent. Intelligent. I am sure we all did a good job.

Then there was someone who didnt ask any question. We wanted to give everyone a chance so we asked her to think hard there defintely was something to which she wanted an answer.

Her question was simple.

Why dont I get what I always want?

We looked at each other. It was a simple question. A question which crossed all our minds at some point, and yet somehow we never thought of it.I dont think we had the right answer to it either. We turned it back to another question. But still I dont think we answered it at all. Why dont we get what we always want? Why do things slip away so fast? Why does the possible seem so difficult?

I told her, I would answer her question next time as I needed some time to think. I am thinking now but I dont think i have an answer yet.

DO you?

I want so badly to hate you
Yet I don't

I want so badly to put my hands around your throat and choke you.
But I won't.

I hope that this time you are taking is worth every second
Every minute
Every hour
Every day
E-ver-y week

I hope this time prunes you to become the mature.God fearing man you were meant to be

I hope it gives you the confidence and faith to go after what you want no matter how many times that you hear the word no.
Cause coming back around this time won't be easy.

Be sure to come with a steady foundation and strong locked backbone. For I might not be around to see it.

I hope this time brings you some courage. Makes you stronger to face your own fears.

Beacuse this world has no place for timid and self conscious fools..
