What will You like to have Sir?


One fine evening Risabh had gone to a restaurant with his 4 friends. Luckily all of them got a full table to dine.

Then, one waiter came to the table.

Waiter: What will you like to have sir?


Vikash ordered one plate Mughlai paratha, Alok ordered Chicken noodles, both Sushil and Farooq ordered naans & butter chicken. When it came to Risabh, he ordered a Chicken Roll. After hearing Risabh’s order the waiter laughed a little.

Waiter: Okay gentlemen. Your ordered food will be here very soon.

Risabh (to his friends): Guys did you look at how he made fun of me.

Vikash: Don’t take him (the waiter) seriously. I think he usually does this with everyone.

Risabh: Did he do that with all of you? But the point is that he shouldn’t do it. It’s wrong. There may be many reasons of mine for ordering that chicken roll. How can he tease me for something he doesn’t know.

The waiter came to the table with the food Risabh’s friends had ordered.

Waiter: Enjoy your food gentlemen.

Risabh (to the waiter):  Where is my food, sir?

Waiter: Two minutes sir. Actually, no one has ordered Chicken roll today except you. That’s why it’s taking a little much time.

The waiter left the table.

Risabh (to his friends): Now guys, don’t you all think he (the waiter) is crossing the line.

Alok: Chill man. Your food will be here in two minutes. He (the waiter) is only doing his job. I am waiting for your food to arrive and then we would start together.

Risabh (in his mind): Now when he comes, I should talk to him (the waiter) properly.

The waiter came to the table with Risabh’s chicken roll.

Waiter: Here is your chicken roll sir.

Risabh: Ohh. Thank you so much for that sir. Did you know why I order this roll?

Waiter: I think you wanted to eat it, that’s why you might have ordered the same.

Risabh: Nice answer, but sir, without knowing the reason/ reasons of mine ordering a chicken roll instead of butter chicken-naans, chicken noodles and Mughlai Parathas, you gave me a laughter to tease me. You should have at least a very little respect for me as I am your customer. I don’t even know why I am telling you all these. You have just made my time here bad. I wish a nice waiter unlike you would have taken my order.

Waiter: Sorry sir. I didn’t want to offend you. I was just trying to be a little friendly for making you guys comfortable.

Risabh: Sorry sir, you are not my friend, so, you don’t need to be friendly with me. Now sir please let me have my food.

Everyone was eating their food including Risabh.

Risabh to Alok (after eating his chicken roll): I am feeling a little guilty right now. I should not have said those things to him (the waiter). I think I made myself look like a bad guy tonight. I think the things which came out of me tonight with anger was due to my hunger.

Alok: I really don’t know what to tell you right now. I had told you to chill.


Another waiter to the first waiter: I had told you that it doesn’t work in this restaurant. You don’t need to be that friendly with anyone here. Go the basic way, with a gentle smile and nothing more than that.

    Judgmental mentality...
    i think the waiter gave that smile in the wrong time, he should had to do this when he started taking the orders.

    I am always unsure about how friendly to get with strangers or acquaintances, in a world of outrage, I guess everyone just assumes that whatever the other person is doing is wrong.

Tests or t20s in Your Life

Image
In test cricket, a batsman’s most prior motive is to stay at the crease as much as he can, score as many runs as possible during his stay. As we all know that it is not mandatory for a test batsman to score runs in a particular number of overs. So, it becomes very important in test cricket to wait for the playable deliveries from the bowler for scoring runs and defending or leaving the unplayable deliveries. If any batsman goes for the unplayable delivery for scoring, then he has a great chance of being dismissed and troubling his team. Can life be looked upon as test cricket? I always feel that our life is also like test cricket where we are like the batsmen in the game. We face many opportunities, challenges, and problems in our life. The opportunities, challenges, and problems act like balls bowled to us in our lives. In my opinion, we should try to score fours and sixes on opportunities, that is, making most of them, take runs between the wickets on the challenges or you ...

Everyone is Different from the others for a Reason

Image
In my childhood, after seeing my sad face, my mother used to say, “God has given equal abilities to everyone, we should never feel lesser than anyone.” Then, I used to believe that and smile back to my mother. But now, I think that the Almighty has made all of us different from others so that we can make our own identity different from others and the difference comes from lots of stuff. So that we don’t look like a copy or replica of others. Usually, we don’t get this and try to do blindly what others are doing without knowing ourselves properly. Everybody begins his/her life in different surroundings.   A person gets his/her qualities from the surroundings where he/she spends his her time. An Example of how Rohan and his life can be different from others Let’s have a look at this scenario. There is a boy named Rohan. Both of his parents are working. Everybody knows the amount of responsibilities parents   have on their shoulders as both of their parents work...

Positive or Negative Vibes Having Influence on People

Image
There was a match of a tournament going on somewhere. It was an Inter School Cricket tournament. The batsman batting at that time was being easy on the bowlers. He was playing grounded and defensive shots as he was taking his time adjusting himself well for playing big shots later. That time, one of the teachers of some school said to another teacher, “Why is he in the team? He has not even hit a sixer till now from the morning. He is doing nothing but boring everyone.” In reply to this, the other teacher said, “why do you think so? Be positive. He is just taking his time. He is getting ready for a bigger inning. They are young children. Let’s motivate them. Winning is not everything, the improvement and development of the students are more important . So, just keep calm and relax.” Observation of the Scenario In this scenario, we can observe two kinds of people and they are the two mentioned teachers. The first teacher seemed both demotivating and impatient but the oth...

With Great responsibility come Greater Distractions

Image
If you are a spider-man movie fan, then you must have heard this dialogue, “with great power, comes great responsibility”. I just want to add something to this dialogue, “With great responsibility, come greater distractions”. Yes, you heard right, distraction is a thing, which no one would not have faced. Distractions While Exams(especially during board exams) Now, it is the time of board exams, who would be better than the students to ask about the distractions at this time. Most of the students read the textbook with the distraction of reading the text messages on the phone. What is the reason for this distraction? It’s because today’s students are habituated with chatting through phones. Is it really a distraction for the students. I think students don’t take this as a distraction but their parents do. At first, I said, “with great responsibility, come greater distractions”. In this case, parents see the board exams as a responsibility, and the other things studen...

Reactions You get On Your New Thoughts

Image
What reactions do you get when you have new thoughts in your mind and express it to anyone? According to me, we get the following reactions when we express our new thoughts to anyone: ·           You get laughed off by the person. ·          You get scolded or abused by the person. ·          You get the reaction, “yeah, it’s interesting but……..” ·          You get the reaction, “Great, go for it. It’s worth a try.” Let’s start with “ Why you get laughed off? ” As you know or must have seen that there are different kinds of people. From these different types of people, there is one kind of people, there is one kind of people who almost take everything in a funny way. Like everything, the characteristics of these types of people have a good and bad side. What is the thing which makes a person laugh? Usually, when a person sees anything which...

Friendship in Your Life

Image
Do you remember the days when you were a kid? There was someone with whom you used to be very happy. He or she might be your mother, brother, sister or anyone else. Do you know what they are called? They are called friends. There is a saying that “a friend in need is a friend indeed”, however, the simple definition of a friend is anyone with whom you feel comfortable with, feel relieved and share your thoughts freely with. Friends are those with whom you love spending time, whether the time is good or bad. Having friends in your life is like a journey. This journey starts right after we get born. In this early phase of our life, the family members who take care of us are our friends, like our parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt, etc. When we grow little older, we get to meet more and new people, especially of our age groups. Then we get close to them, we get fond of each other. We play, see TV, and most importantly, enjoy with each other. Then, we grow up to the age of going...

Good Times Attract Many

Image
You might have gone to many celebratory events, there, you might have observed lots of colorful lights and other beautiful decorative stuff. The beautiful, colorful and other shining stuff always attract our eyes and these stuff make the events or parties amazing. In this great world of ours, we get easily attracted towards anything which looks beautiful to us, but that’s not the case always when there is not much beauty in something. A person in his/her good times, attracts many people towards himself/herself but in the bad times, he/she is not given the same importance as in his/her good times. In our bad times, we can improve ourselves  to ourselves as much we can and be valuable to ourselves and others by our dedication and hard work. Our dedication and hard-work will do the same for us as the beautiful lights and flowers do to different parties or events to make them more beautiful and attractive. You would understand totally what I want to say after he...

The Boy shared his Feelings with The Girl

Image
In a college somewhere, there was a boy who fell in love with a girl. After many days of only looking at the beautiful face of the girl, one day, the boy decided to share all of his feelings with the girl. After knowing about the feelings of the boy towards her, the girl said, “Sorry, you are nice but I am not interested in anything like that now.” The Reaction of His Friend After hearing this from the girl, he went to his friend to share this with him. The friend replied, “are you crazy? You shouldn’t ask anyone in the first go. First, you start talking to each other, then, you be her friend and after that, you share your feelings with her.” The boy said, “But, I didn’t have that much patience. I was going through sleepless nights for this.” The friend replied, “Yeah, you are really crazy, but now, you have to move on because it seems that she is not interested in you.” Boy:   No, I think there is something which is stopping her from expressing her feelings...

I liked Your Work but...

Image
Someone: Please have a seat. Other one: Thank you. Someone: I read your email and the things which were with the same. Those were nice. I liked your work but I am having a tough time figuring out how to use them, how to make those work in benefits of us and yours. Other one: I am very glad that you liked my work, but you don’t have to have a headache of how to use those, you can see those as samples and I can create something fresh, I can create many fresh things. Since, you have gone through those pieces of mine then you must have known my abilities, how is my knowledge and what I am capable of creating or doing. So, you don’t have to use my works, you can use my abilities and knowledge which made those works possible. Someone: But don’t you think the abilities you have, you can work with us, you don’t have to work for us. Other one: I didn’t understand, aren’t those the same things? Someone: It’s your choice. You can create something on which we can ride on ahead b...

When He Pressed the Buttons on that Device

Image
Pravesh entered the office by his identification card where he works. Like him many entered the office and as the time passed the whole office got busy as usual. Then, Pravesh before powering his computer on, took out a device from his backpack, pressed a few buttons on the device and at that time the device got activated. After the device got activated he put the device in the drawer of his desk. A few moments later a ‘News’ notification got into everyone’s mobile phone in the office. The news was from an unknown website and the notification said, “Every educational and professional information of employees of different companies/organizations saved in different places are missing. Reasons for the same are not known.” But the information of the ones in the office where Pravesh works were safe. After the office hours got over, Pravesh took out the device from the drawer, turned it off by pressing a few buttons on it, put it back in his backpack, got out of the office, and left for ...

The Target set for the Relationship

Image
Kashish, Rohan, and Rahul were hanging out at Rahul’s place. Kashish: Are you scared? Rohan: Scared? Me? Yeah. A little bit. Kashish: You should be scared as in the previous meeting you had very much opened your mind. Rohan: But, what’s wrong in having an open mind? Kashish (with a little anger towards Rohan): Nothing is wrong with your open-mind. The things which are really wrong are the things which you had said to my father that day. Rohan (with a shocking reaction to what Kashish said, the reaction had a little bit anger too): Oh my God. Are you serious? Never in my life, I have spoken any bad words to or for your father. Kashish (continuing her anger): I am not talking about that, you idiot. It’s about…………… Flashback At Kashish’s home, Kashish’s Father (to Rohan): I have no problem with you two being in a relationship and I don’t mind that she is earning more than you, but, you should earn a certain amount and know the art of saving to ...

The Ones who Had To Protect Many Zones of the Universe

Image
At The Beginning of The Universe… At the beginning of the universe, there were a huge number of creatures who were assigned to each of the many zones of the universe by the most powerful and the most respected one of the universe, the ‘Jicretor’, or in other words, one ‘Jiproc’ each was assigned to protect each of the many zones of the Universe by the ‘Jicretor’.   The Jiprocs had got extremely great powers from the Jicretor. These powers were given to the Jiprocs for protecting the beings living in the many different zones of the universe. Each Jiproc was responsible for protecting the zone of the universe which they had been given the responsibility of by the Jicretor. And, the living beings whom the Jiprocs were protecting didn’t have those kinds of superpowers.   In those times, every jiproc was busy guarding his/her zone and the living beings living in the zone, except one jiproc named ‘Leivot’, Leivot didn’t have the same plan as the other jiprocs had.

I Saw IPL Grow

Image
Things were very different before IPL (Indian Premiere League). Before IPL, as a school kid, I used to play carroms, do my holiday homework or watch movies and other stuff on T.V. on my summer vacation.  But, all of these things changed when the Indian Premier League came into existence , my playing, studying & other stuff did not collide with the IPL match timings. Before IPL , I had in my mind that football is for counties or club format (e.g. English Premier League, La Liga, etc.) and cricket is for International matches, but, IPL changed my perception about it and I am sure it also changed the thinking of the people all over the world. Before IPL, there was the mighty Australian Cricket team which won almost every match, they played. But things did not remain the same after IPL. Now, there is no one team which dominates the international cricket matches like they (Australia) did. At this time, you would see ICC ODI rankings keep changing and there is always mor...

The Guy and the Kid seemed like Father and Daughter

One day, in the afternoon, at a railway station,   Ramesh booked a train-ticket for himself and got on a train with his small backpack . The heat was not much that day, but also the weather that day, was not utterly pleasant. Ramesh started searching for his seat by looking at the seat number on his ticket and checking the numbers on the respective seats of the train with the one on the ticket. In a few minutes, he found his seat by passing through the standing passengers and wandering vendors of snacks and Tea. After seeing his seat, he thanked God that it was near the window, he didn’t have to climb up for his seat and the chances of arguments regarding exchanging seats, seemed very low as people around his seat, were sitting very comfortably on their seats, especially the gentleman and the kid (A girl) with him, opposite his (Ramesh) seat.   The guy and the kid seemed like father and daughter . The kid was smiling and giggling very cutely and was very playful with her f...

Taking Out some Time for a 'Me Time'

Image
What does ‘Me Time’ mean to me? ‘Me Time’ means a lot to me. It makes me enter a zone where I can keep account of my good works & mistakes of my past and the stuff which I have to do which I feel would be good for me. The good works whether small or big make me motivated especially in the times when I don’t feel so good about myself. The mistakes make me check on the stuff in which I have to learn from or improve in. After thinking about these past stuff, I plan things for moving ahead in my ways and do a little Pranayama and exercises. I do these things because I think they are going to be beneficial to me. ‘Me Time’ is very important to me We go through many situations in our life. We get many thoughts in our mind. We meet different people with different mindsets whether they are our relatives, friends or any stranger. Apart from these, we also have certain duties and goals in our life which sometimes get away from our sight because of the above-mentioned ...
