Conversation

It confuses and at times it baffles me; Not only on a first person experience but where so ever. People have bucketful of advices and criticism for someone who tries to be (at least 'tries to be') good/better. Even Small mistakes such a person commits goes in for loud scrutiny of the people around, though he may be ready to admit and correct it. And these people are surprisingly blind towards those who are (really and terribly) wrong and do not care about it. Is it because their justice fails in such cases?
I do not advocate that criticism is wrong. But it should be worth it. It should not be an I-can-so-I-will kind of thing. It spoils what is good. And you would end up mocking yourself.

You will find the following funny!! Mind that this is a screenplay version of the true story!

(On phone) Me: Magesh, when are you coming home?
Mag: I am starting in another 15 mins.
Me: Fine, just wanted to know when you will be back. And I talked to her today.
Mag: To her..? Oh, to HER??
Me: Yup.
Mag: hey, what did you talk? When? How???
Me: come home and I'll tell you.
Mag: Tell me now.
Me: Come home soon. Bye!
(Cut the call)

Half an hour later, Magesh came home and then straight to me.
Mag: Tell me, you talked to Her?
Me: Her? No. Not exactly. It was Her, who talked to me.
Mag: Oh, really? What did she say?
Me: Long story da. I'll tell you later.
Mag: No, I want it now.
Me: Is it so urgent?
Me: Yes, you'll have to tell me now.
Me: Well, it was like this. You know I went to the office today skipping my breakfast.
Mag: mm.
Me: I was damn hungry by the time I reached office. So went for coffee soon.She crossed me just as I was entering the Cafeteria.
Mag: That was then did She talked to you?
Me: No. Listen fully.Then I came back to my cabin and was preparing for the meeting in the afternoon.
Mag: mm..(eagerly)
Me: It was lunch time by then. So I called up Eashwar. He was not in his seat. So Kala and myself went alone to the cafeteria. We occupied a table towards the center of the hall.
Mag: Then?
Me: Then She came into the hall with her friend.
Mag: (Full of grins) Then what happened?
ME: She was looking around silently, searching for something. She stopped when she glanced at our table. Some of Her friends were sitting in the adjacent table. She moved toward that table, kept her lunch box on that table and turned back.
Mag: She came towards you?
Me: Yes. She came towards me, hesitatingly.
Mag: (very curious by now) mm, then?
Me: She looked very hesitating. But I understood what she wanted to ask.
Mag: You did? What did She ask then??
Me: You'd be surprised Magesh.
Mag: Let it out.
Me: She asked me, in a faint voice,"Can I take this chair?" And I said,"Yes". That's it.

I do not want to tell you how enraged Mag was and he started bashing me up. I couldn't understand what's wrong in what I told him? Did you?
