For The Sake Of Argument

For away from home, in the other part of the world, is the sickest thing that I can ever imagine, however, staying with friends who are warm and friendly people to work with, then take it for granted, you are in heaven, I’m in Boston most of the year since last year, I started enjoying this, on the social view it has given me different dimension, I’m a person for a physiological quest, I was in an assumption that I know enough about the people where I live, and it is shattered by one of my friend staying with me in Boston.

We often get into arguments sometimes it becomes really hot and heavy, but only verbal clashes within dignity. I’m going to discuss few such arguments here, it was a fine spring noon, with clear sky and all, at a distant place in the sky I saw a light, so bright and all, I showed that to Bharath and asked him what it would be, Bharath had a lazy look at it and said “it is an airplane” I said dude cannot be, it is so bright outside and a clear sky, and sun is brighter outside, moreover the light is not flashing, I said “it cannot be a flight”, in just a wink the light disappeared, I called Bharath again and asked him where did the light go?, its not there anymore, he reluctantly answered, probably the flight has landed, I again stressed, it cannot be an airplane and kept mum, and I was thinking in myself, may be Bharath is correct, it is an airplane, however I was not convinced, that it could be a flight.

As to break the silence, Bharath asked “if that is not an airplane, what do you think it is?” I sincerely don’t have an answer, I thought for a second or so and gave an insane answer it might be an UFO, I know it totally doesn’t make any sense, I just want to cut it off there, but it turned out to be an argument when Sripall said “Good, atleast you did say it is Krishna’s Chakra”, I know he got pissed off, it really showed the Sripall’s frustration, let me try to explain about Sripall, he is man who needs a scientific explanation to support any statement, and he may or may not accept the logical explanation, he is an atheist to the core, but practices Zen and Tao philosophy, without even knowing it. Anything without a scientific explanation pisses him off, So there is no wonder that he got pissed off when I say it is an UFO, as there is no scientific explanation for UFO.

And I don’t know whether knowing the heat Bharath changed the topic, or it is just a coincidence, he started teasing, the way I use introduce myself to others, though my first name is Gopi, I like to refer myself as Krishna which is my last name. Bharath asked its your name after all, why don’t you like your first name, and I questioned him why don’t you call me the way I prefer to be called, Sripall joined Bharath asking me, why you don’t like your first name, I seriously don’t want answer that question, to Sripall, as my answer is not supported by any scientific experiments or may be it is, but I don’t have the reference, so I avoided it and bluntly said, just call me the way I preferred to be called. Bharath said that I got pissed off to Sripall, and I said “No, I was not pissed off”, Bharath keep saying that I’m pissed off, and I drafted a reference to prove that I was not pissed off and said “if what Sripall said is due to frustration, when I mentioned the bright object as UFO, I can understand why you people are saying that I’m pissed off, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense to me”, and there was pin drop silence for a min or so both there faces are blank.

Bharath concluded that I’m really pissed off, but I’m not till this point, all I was trying is to, make them understand that I’m not pissed off, after this point I started asking myself, why I need to prove that I’m not frustrated, and that frustrated me.

I’m not sure have they got my logical reference and still thinking that I’m just referenced something insanely let me know if any of you before I start digging it further…
