I ask a friend of mine 'oye, kal chalna hai Agra? ek din ka trip hai. 650 rupaiye main poora agra aur mathura dekh lenge. deal hai'. Pat comes the reply 'no'. Trying to understand why 'no', 'kahin ja raha hai kya kal?'. 'Nahi'. 'to kyon nahi jana?', 'bas yaar aise hi.'
'Are yaar kya pain hai?' I don't understand why people say a no without giving a thought. Maybe we all have lived in such a enviornment where everyone is taught to say 'no' first and then give the proposal a thought. Probably we have been trained to first to look for what is in the proposal for the proposer before we look at our benefit.
Or it might be simply lethargy. I have seen quite a lot of people who have been good in studies and a few who have been good in sports. The overlap has not been great though. But I fail to understand the plight of the people who do not do anything. When I say anything, I am referring to trying. I can understand a situation where somebody cannot excel in studies despite his best efforts, and somebody who cannot shoot a ball through the hoop despite his best attempt. But I fail to understand why people simply do nothing and stay confined to their rooms. I can only feel sorry for them. But I can perfectly understand their situation. They have not attempted too many things in life to realize what is it like do it. Take trekking for example. Unless you go for a trek you cannot understand what is it like to trek. Its like your life is missing out on a whole world of experience. There are so many things to do, so many things to see, that I find it foolish to limit yourself to the confines of your room. Go out and enjoy what this world has to offer.
