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 think ...
We never get want we want because we don't try hard enough for it. Or
we tried super hard but someone else deserves it more than we did. Or
we tried hard and deserve it but the right people didn't see our
efforts. Or we tried hard, deserved it and the right people saw it
too, but we came in too late in the game.
well hello stranger.. How have you been!? :)
I guess may be because, some else needed it more than we wanted it.
Or maybe, we always want that we could almost never lay our hands on.
maybe just maybe...
Rejoy!
