It was the year 2000, the final year of chemical engineering life education at the Annamalai’s of Chidambaram! We were at our farewell party! Mixed emotions allover...It was a different feeling to witness the people with character and strength were broken apart beautifully by the wonderful non-chemical bonding called relationship! But there were also some strained thoughts all over. One of the groups who desperately wanted to fill the place with fun and laughter, called each and everyone on stage to embarrass them for the last time by glorifying those stupid moments of their engineering life!! For those who were off stage enjoying those embarrassments (or whatever it is) it was fun, but for the one on stage, it was hard to control the temptation of spoiling the evening by walking out of it! It was not easy for any of us, to get thro that embarrassment and forget about it once we reach down stage! It’s just that the group did not handle it perfectly!
When we were almost going to end the evening, news reached us that one of our friend's mother opted to accept the soul invitation from another universe! She was no more!! The whole place was dumbfounded! There were a whole bunch of combinatorial responses to the news, but the outcome was just one!!
When we were walking back, planning on a trip to his place, paying a final visit to show our support! One of my friends said something that I can never forget,
"Do you see something now..Barath! None of them are concerned about what happened a few minutes ago. Now, all they have in their mind is the thought that wants to know how to make him feel better? From what I see from here, I don’t see anything called as a problem. A minute ago the embarrassment is the biggest problem for all of us, but now its nonexistent. All problems are like that, what appears to be big now is going to be simple tomorrow"
It was Vivek. Even now, I get to meet and talk to him quite often! We ofcourse share our concentric circles of importance! But I should say that never in his life he had followed those words. I didn’t know whether he meant anything at that point or was he impressing the girls who were walking beside!(pun intended) but the words made a whole lot sense to me!
Triviality! That’s the key word.... everything is trivial to someone or the other in this world! The deepest problem for someone is nothing for another! Not that the person cannot relate oneself to it. It’s just the way one treats it!! There is nothing called a problem in this whole world. Never look for solutions, because there isn't a problem at the first place!! Optimism rules!

Precisely!
According to me the first phase is not there...!
Hypothetical situation! Lets see...if I have some finaincial problem...say am running short of money for something...All Iam trying to say that we should not be thinking like..."omg what am I goin to do now?"...instead..."Wow, this is going to be fun...Lets see how am I handling it this time"...! Thats what am talking abt...in this case...we never saw that as a problem!! because I know at the end of the day I would have answered that question which never existed in the first place!! Paradoxial..! not problematical!
Whoa!!! First of all totally thanx for the props man.. ;) Atleast someone remembers some of my saner moments at 'Malai.
And to think it was to make the gurls giggle!! Thats sad dawg!! Barath.. Dont remember us having dem folk around us man!! Wat say??:p
Ofcourse they did...invisibly as they always used to!!
