You do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.......goes without saying....and I never understood this......never will.

I call people, my friends, my cousins, and my neighbours, for any event/gathering, which interests all.
Makes me think among other reasons, that the person might appreciate the gesture.....How naive could I get.
The world doesn’t work that way......and I have made it a point to remind myself this basic maxim on every occasion.

Many don’t treat you as you would want them to. And I wait patiently to return the hostilities.
But clemency has always taken over at the "moment of truth"....and I come back to the "Jaane De" attitude. That in no way means, I am a 'walkover'. Altercations are a part of me.

Be it the brash behavior of some, or the chiding remarks of the others, it hurts at that instance and I take a hard nosed vow to return the favour, but the conversion rate of all the pledges is outright pathetic.

I cannot be rude to people.....(OK...except the rickshaw wallas), and the other times when I have unpremeditatedly said anything harsh, I have resented having opened my mouth, for weeks together.

They all take me for granted, they think I cant get wild at anyone.......good they haven’t seen me angry. No....I don’t go about slitting everyone’s throats. But i sure can get wild.

I can.
