A cup of tea …
Yesterday when I was sitting alone & having tea in the canteen, I was lost somewhere in my tensions. Suddenly I heard two guys in the table next to me talking. One of them was doing other's leg-pulling. He said to him, "You are great, work terribly hard during the week & then enjoy nicely on the weekend with your girlfriend." That guy continued, "In the initial days when I joined the office, I used to think that this fellow is such a geek, I don't think he knows anything in the world except his work."
My mind was diverted now I was just sipping my tea & listening to them. The person who was till now silently listening to him, started laughing and then suddenly became serious.
He said, "Career, family & love affair are separate parts of life, I try to adjust so as to make them work in a synchronized fashion but still keeping them disjoint. When I m at work, I keep family & girlfriend apart, but at the same time until & unless there is a deadline I like spending evenings & weekends with my family or girlfriend. All hold importance in my life. Career gives me focus, parents give me motivation and girlfriend gives me space. She was my colleague in previous office and we just occasionally saw each other while in passage. I don’t know how she started liking me. I used to behave like a true geek, when I wanted, I used to call her for coffee but at times I intentionally not responded her mails, then, she wrote about her own matters, without pressing me or questioning me about mine. Initially I was really an idiot, I used to ask her dumb questions like, why do you like me, what do you expect from me. She just politely used to say nothing. I realized slowly that she wants me near her but then how she gives me freedom to make my choices & now with her I can discuss all the issues related to me or career which at times we don't even share with friends & she makes me feel that someone is there who is innocent, who waits for me & is concerned about my happiness."
I know its bad to listen to someone's private conversation but somehow I was not able to resist myself!!
He said "I see these days even school-kids want to have girlfriend or boyfriend. It’s annoying because it hardly has earnestness. But at our age, with life full of tensions, you should definitely have someone who shares joys & pains exclusively with you, who eagerly waits for your phone calls & emails, whose weekends are meant only for you. Who is as loving as mom, caring & practical as friend, with whom you can talk about anything & everything under the sun, who makes you feel you are special. One who is practical when talks about career, and is intelligent to move in society. She has her own romanticism, keeps her love secret from the world but when you go near she forgets everything."
What he said in the last is still fresh in my mind.
He said "Sometimes in life we are so much pre-occupied with ourselves, that we neglect the love knocking at our door. It is not about just living, it’s about how many lives you want to live in one life."

He smiled & said right now we are in office so let's keep my girlfriend apart, they laughed & then started talking about their project. I finished my tea & came back to my cube.

Ahh....tea and its magic...:D!! Guess it always leads to a very intellectual conversation...for eg. my blog show...:p..;)!!
Your blog show is superb da, no second thoughts about it.
Tea has it own charm, that too on an evening when its raining, it just creates wonders.
You see, people get very romantic ;-)
Its strange, that fellow didn't knew someone was listening to the aesthetical truth of life while sipping a cup of tea next to him.
How true he was when he said that, " It is not about just living, it’s about how many lives you want to live in one life."
Unknowingly he gave a lesson for the lifetime.
Ya tat was well said..:-)
Sometimes simple things which some people say stick with you...i have had some experiences like this too!!
That guys entire narration is enclosed in double quotes. Hope that it doesnt indicate that those where the exact words which he said. Either you have incredible memory power or else you must have recorded this conversation ;-) Just joking.
I still dont know much about him bu from whatever little I have heard, I am sure that the lady must be lucky to have this guy.
