I have a Theory

I have a theory…. A plausible theory. A well researched theory and in the true spirit of all such matters this too is absolutely pointless. It’s a theory that has been formulated over years of experience. Thirteen years at DPS – R K Puram have taught me a number of things. They has taught me Wisdom, Patience, Perseverance. They have failed as far as Harmonic Motion goes but then that is a different matter ! Now much like all other philosopher-giri I have ever had the audacity to indulge in, this little nugget of knowledge occurred to me in Chem Period. That is when all kinds of random thoughts make themselves comfortable in my sub-conscious. So, sit back and try and make sense out of this.
Many times in life we look down the road we have traveled and we remember the metaphorical potholes, the philosophical red lights and the proverbial cows in the middle of that road. We wonder “Yoon Hota to Kya Hota ?” If we had ‘done this’ or ‘not eaten that’ or done that ‘other thing’ while no one was looking would things be different? Would things have been smoother? Easier?.......... Less Expensive?
It is human to err , its human to overeat and its human to argue but more than that its human to wonder – What If ?
What if getting good marks was bad…I would have topped.
What if the policemen didn’t have paunches? Would we catch more criminals? What if my math teacher had a Mohawk? Would math have been more interesting ?
These important questions have importance and magnitude whose repercussions will be felt throughout the ages.
But getting back to my theory. These thoughts though enjoyable ….especially the one about my math teacher….are pointless and wind up giving your dad indigestion your mom a headache and your sister a pimple. I believe that God has a plan and a design for everybody. That no matter how dissatisfied we may be with our life thus far…Theres a reason for it all.
So no matter good or bad- great or nasty-pass or fail—she looks at me or she ignores me whatever happens happens for the best.
To misquote John F Kennedy…”Ask not yun hota to kya hota …ask what the hell do I do NOW???”
