As usual, I could not take it lightly. Qestions kept on coming in my mind Right from "why did I puchased a loptop in the first case, to why I did not use it, to finally, Why me? I have not hurt anyone? Why this happens only with me?" Luckily I had a lot of discussions lined up in the work-day which kept me too busy to again think about my loss of Rs. 855. But yes, that thought kept on peeping "why me? Those guys are bad. They fooled me. The world is bad". etc.
Later in the day I came to know that one of my loved and his family had met with an accident few days back while traveling in an almost brand new car. "Opps!!!" Accidents are bad. They change life for ever. But good part was, all passengers of the car had escaped unhurt. Car did recieve a lot of impact, however. Nearly a couple of lakh's expenditure.
But he kept on saying, we all are unhurt, that is what matters. A couple of lakh rupees is nothing compared to family.
And then I thought hey!! Why he?? Why his mom, dad, wife?? Why his car?? And all because of someone else's mistake? He did not hurt anyone either??.... And still he thinks they all were lucky to have escaped unhurt!!
His pain was 5000 times more than that of mine. Still he was happy because family was unhurt. Money lost who cares.
Now, I was also happy. My son had gone to play with his friends. In the kitchen, wife was frying crisp crisp sakkarpara (a Gujju namkeen). I was watching TV. And Rs. 855? Who cares? I removed that faulty DVD drive out of that "thotha" laptop, turned it on and see, I am writing my very first blog. ('thotha' means something that is not working properly) will last long and long. :-)
Yes, I did mail my complaint to my laptop company's customer care and forgot about it. After all, I can't forget that Rs. 855 that easily...
