Day 1
Thirst is an emotion that she rarely feel… As she placed the glass below the dispenser nozzle; she was indeed
thirsty… Gosh, it’s flashing red… No water, time to change the bottle. Why, why
should it always be so when you so much need it…and you can’t get it… “Bottle
needs to be replaced”, I grumbled…
From behind, she heard, “He was here taking the last
glass of water. He did see the red flashing and still didn’t change the bottle.”…
Ok, now that is irresponsibility… As long as your matter is solved; leave the
problem unsolved… Typical him… She marched into his abode…
“When you drank water, didn’t you
see it flashing red…?”
“Yes, I did…”
Oh, great, so he did… “Then why couldn’t you just replace a new
bottle.”
“Why should I? Are there nobody else to do it?”…gazing
at his phone as always…
“Its not about, if there is anybody else. But you
were the one who saw it and you could have replaced it.”…She knew, she sound
Blunt… But then, carrying a gallon bottle of water to the dispenser should not
be a woman’s job…especially not her who can’t depend on her own spine for
anything that required carrying weight… He should know that and be a more
empathetic about his fellow beings, she believed so…
“Soooooo….???”
Great! Soooo??? What does that mean? “Soooo, please
come and replace the bottle…”
“I will do it tomorrow…”
“Not tomorrow, only you have sorted your thirst off.
There are others who want to drink water…Can you please change it, I am thirsty”
“Whoever want…should do themselves… I can’t…”
“Is that how things should work in life… If tomorrow,
you need something and if I respond this way…would that be fine?”
“Yes, you can…”
“Ok, then its ok…If I respond ever like this…Don’t feel
bad then…” PERIOD….
Day 2
Busy in kitchen…As he walked in slowly, it was clear…He
wants his morning tea…
“Whoever wants, will make his own tea and drink???”
“Yes…but I don’t want tea…”
“Ok, good, then don’t drink the tea that is prepared
by somebody else…” PERIOD…
Soon after the scene was cleared, he drank the tea…filled
himself with the freshly fried Puris and curry and thus his morning duty was
over…
Day 3
“Did you have your breakfast, lunch, dinner yesterday…?”
“Yes…”
“What if somebody had thought, that if you want, let
you cook it yourself and eat…” PERIOD…
Day 4
He came home with few parathas packed off from his
dinner date with his friend…
Sleep time…as usual, he was gazing through the phone
without the lights off…
“Do you want me to switch off the light for you…?”, she was being nice…
“Is anybody planning to cut and serve the mangoes..?”
“Whoever wants…can do themselves…”, Score 1-1…
“If I had thought so, I wouldn’t have brought the parathas
home…”
“I didn’t invent this statement. Just following your
steps…”
She held his clothes all dried up to be
fold and arranged into the cupboard…She placed the unfolded clothes near him…and
continued…
“These clothes did not walk by themselves and got
washed and dried up…If I had thought the same way as you said, these would have
been lying there in the laundry bag still…Tomorrow, when you search for your
clothes to get dressed to present yourself to your office, remember that these
things are not done by you…But by somebody else… Be thankful for things that
others do for you…and Be kind enuf to do something for them too…”
A sheepish look with an embarrassed smile…But she know very well…it was not a lesson learnt…soon the score would be 2:1 and she would still hear the same statement another day…
Whoever wants, should do themselves…
