“We are not made for each other, we have to call this off “, every
time he would hear this statement from his girl, he would know that he could
convince her to get back again with him and surprisingly it worked out every time
for a couple of months
Since life is temporary and so are emotions, this time around when he
heard the words from her which said, "Lets call it off”, deep down inside of him he knew he had lost this game for now and
for-ever, the game of love, the game of words, the game of emotions.
Ironically, each one of us struggles through this game once in our life, because if we have not , there is always a possibility of a comment from the critics in our lives saying, if
you have not loved, you have not lived your life at all.
Coming to where it all started : the term "Irony"
I
knew this is what I wanted to write about, but explaining life and its ironies
seemed more deep than the entire idea itself.
MS
Word explains irony as - satire - sarcasm -
mockery - quirk of fate.
However adding all those
words here will only enhance the vocab of this article and not the
content.
Great writers have lived their life trying to understand the ironies of life and have failed in their attempts to explain it to the world beyond their pen and paper and for those who successfully made the upper cut and explained things in layman terms, people just laughed it out and forgot ; possible irony of the term irony.
Few such instances are added here:
A friend of
mine, Rohit, a techie by profession and an avid photographer by
passion, in his recent
quest for
capturing the best pictures, happened to land in a temple which he had
been visiting for yrs together . To his surprise this time
around, the Poojari(the priest) asked him
"Beta, Camera kaunsa model
ka hai SLR series mein" ("Son, What is
the model number of
this SLR series
cam?"). The irony was that he had
been visiting this place for so long and
no one noticed him, which made him realize that things are valued more than
people.
A friend from
Canada recently wanted to gift me something as a souvenir and when I was asked
what I want,
instantly I could not think of something that I need and
hence, I replied saying
that
I don't need
anything for now. The guy next to me aware of this situation passed a comment, which I happened to
overhear, goes like this:
"Saala jisko bhook hain uske paas khaana nahi hain aur jike pass khaana hain usse bhook nahi !!"
<a person who has hunger
gets no food and a person who one has food is not
hungry,
Alas !>
Recently the a well recognized password management site http://mysocialcloud.com - updated thier staus in famous social networking site "This site's been hacked, change your password" or in the likes of this : There was a meeting scheduled on global warming the other day in Washington DC, but it was cancelled due to severe snow storm. :D
or the best one I happened to hear from my friend who has a kid still his 4th grade and is advised by her Teacher that one cannot write a good essay within few hours and ironically during exams the kid is expected to complete the long essays type answers in under 1h and 30mins
Our life is filled with ironical situation, do you have the eye to enjoy it !
