Come what may....people will always talk!


I had to take a decision ! It was getting late !! I was done with my entrance test but had scored awful  ! I wanted to study another year in an attempt to crack the test ...but  I wasn't comfortable ! I mean what would people think ? I was always a good student and then repeating a year would be like failing!! That's when my granny told me this story and to be honest that was the last time when I thought "what would people think ? "

Journey begins with a grandpa , his grandson and their donkey . They were travelling to a distant village and  had to pass by many other villages before reaching their final destination .And they started , grandpa , grandson sitting on their donkey. They reach the first village , and as soon as they enter they find a few people telling "Look at them ! How insensitive ?! They are healthy enough to walk and are yet torturing the poor , weak donkey. " They immediately get down and start walking alongside the donkey , continuing their journey. They reach the next village and again they hear people talking about them  "Hahah..look at those fools ! They have a donkey and are yet walking by it's side. How dumb!" Listening to that , they decide that only one of them will sit at donkey's back . That way they could use the donkey for travelling and donkey too won't be burdened .The grandson  lets his grandpa to sit on the donkey . They further travel and reach the next village . They once again hear people commenting on them "Look at how cruel the grandpa is ! He is making that poor boy walk in the scorching heat of the sun and is nicely enjoying the ride all by himself." Feeling as if he had committed the biggest crime , grandpa got down in a split second and let grandson sit on the donkey  and they continue . Next stop. "Look what an excruciator that little boy is ! Being young he can walk miles but he is making his old grandfather do that . kalyug.kalyug . "

                   So it's pretty clear , eh ? people will always talk , no matter what you do .... they will always find some or the other flaw to gossip !! So do we really care about them ? so much so that we sometimes sacrifice our dreams ,  sacrifice being what we are , sacrifice taking decisions that would change our life for the better ?

Or sometimes just brood over some bullshit rumours that we hear about ourselves ? Are these people and their talks this important ? Morons - that is what I love to call them , draw conclusions without prior knowledge and spread it like wild fire. 
So next time you have something up in your mind , before considering what people would think , why not first consider if you like it or if your virtues / conscience allows you to do so ..... because if the "latter ones in place and you own their wife and kids" (social network) ;)                                 

                              And as they say:
                                                   "Great minds discuss ideas ,
                                                  average minds discuss events,
                                                   small minds discuss people!"
                             
 Ohh and p.s : I did repeat my year - with a deaf ear :)
  p.s.s : I am deeply indebted  to you  for helping me complete this post ! Thankss a lot Riyaz Sundrani (the excruciator) :P

  5. Ditto :) wen i decided to repeat for my medical entrances, even i was skeptical about a lot of things. It was my dad who then narrated me the same story and the result - i did drop an year with as u said a deaf year to all those who had 100 reasons for proving my decision wrong :)
