What is Life if full of care......

One deal with the fast paced world is that hardly anyone nowadays is a good listener. As chuck Palahniuk said in Fight Club, “it seems like no one is listening, like they’re just waiting for their turn to speak”. But in these ages where hearing is the norm and listening is a forgotten art, we cover up our trail well enough so as not to have the other take offence. While the following episode with my friend Prajakta didn’t offend me, it brought me a wry smile. She was on her way to San Francisco and thought that I should join her. I told her that it would be kind of hard with me having to trash my car after a huge accident on the interstate. What followed was a piece of absent-minded genius. She squealed “car!! u lucky pig! I didn’t know you had a car. What car is it?” with that she got disconnected and I wondered if I’d ever encounter a better case in point about “missing the point”. I guess not.
