Disclaimer: I’m not a writer/blogger or anything else related to writing. So don’t judge my blog/story/man_ki_baat on writing skills. Rather focus on content. Secondly, some may think who is following or reading my blogs from last year that I should have acquired some skills after writing 14 blogs/stories. But my friend from these I’m not aspiring to become a writer indeed I’m just trying to express myself.
In this era, everyone is relying on data analysis results to take big or small decisions. The same is the case with me. I analyzed my previous blog’s view/visitor data. The result was shocking for me and funny for others at the same time.
As per result, I should have not published this blog/man_ki_baat because like PM Modi I don’t have much listeners for my man_ki_baat, but as you are reading this, means I published it. Because in one book titled How to win friends and influence people Dale Carnegie said that everyone wants to feel important or loved. Keeping this in mind I decided not to give up.
Let’s start this man_ki_baat and see whether this trend line of a number of views will become an asymptote.
Before 2011 Orkut (SNS) was having a good number of social media users. Facebook was there but not so much popular. After passing the senior secondary examination most of us debuted on Facebook. As it was new to me, my screen time for this app was quite high. I remember someday while surfing on Facebook one random post ignited a spark in my brain such that it gets imprinted in my memory forever. Scientist says that in order to imprint something in our memory for forever we should revise it multiple times so that synapses get stronger and stronger with every revision. But in this case, one glance through my eyes was enough. Thats why we call our brain a baffling brain. In fact, I wrote one man_ki_baat on The Baffling Brain.
That Facebook post was about keeping some packaged food in a vehicle (if you have it) and give those food packets to the beggars at traffic light signals instead of money.
So from the very beginning I knew that we should give something eatable instead of money. Why I liked this idea so much is because we humans don’t give money easily, but at the same time we can give other things of eqvivalent worth. I was not able to implement this idea at that time as I didn’t own any vehicle.
But in 2018, I became the in-charge of movement of one vehicle in my organisation. Still I didn’t own this vehicle but I’m the psuedo owner of that vehicle. So after approx 7 years I executed that idea of giving food packets at traffic lights while oneself in transit. I bought Haldiram aloo bhujiya packets (5 rupees/ packet) of 500 rupees. I instructed driver to give those packets to who ever in need.
In previous era there was one saying i.e. Neki Kar dariya m Daal. But in this era this has been changed to Neki Kar SNS pe daal. I did the same. Posted it on Facebook. Then what, I didn’t got expected response(No. of Likes or comments or appreciation). But someone commented that it’s illegal to give food packets at traffic light signals as it encourage begging. I researched about this but didn’t find any solid evidence. So I continued it.
One day when I was in cab waiting for green light signal, I saw a group of childrens asking for money, I called them and gave them aloo bhujiya. I had 4 packets of aloo Bhujiya and they were four . So it was sorted easily. I was happy and they were happy too. These children sent one more child towards my cab. Now I don’t had aloo bhujiya but I was having Parle-G buiscuit for the same purpose. I gave her that biscuit, but she was adament, she asked for bhujiya cause other children had bhujiya, I denied and told her that bhujiya is over take biscuit but she thought I don’t want to give. I tried to convence her for like 30 seconds to take biscuit but she was adament and in last she did not accepted biscuit. I was shocked. Even in craving of food they are demanding food of there own choice.
Why I failed in covencing her to accept biscuit? The reason is Frame of Reference!!
In my frame of reference I was helping her by providing food to fill empty stomach. And as per my understanding in her frame of reference providing food isn’t a help. She need money may be.
There are so many instances where i had faced the same issue. They are denying to accept food and I don’t want to give money. What to do??
So many things can be justified by using excuse of frame of reference. For example: wrong and right. Nothing is wrong and nothing is right. It all depends on frame of reference.
So can we say that there is nothing like univesal truth?
Thanks
