Grapes... always sour !

Yesterday, while I sat down sitting idle on the relaxed office chair… I saw this tiny green colored insect wriggling its body back and froth trying to do something… My nasty head instantly thought of trampling it rite there…just then, i saw it wiggling about 2 inches in the front, towards me and looking straight into my eyes! It started giving me such unvarying stares that I actually had to try looking away uneasily… I looked back at the insect after a few seconds and it still was staring rite into my eyes…not able to take this question on my self-esteem, I felt like flattening it rite there… But besides being the mightier one, I also was the more sensible one. I decided to retort nattily by staring at it in the same way as it did… both of us looked into each others eyes for seconds, minutes, n gladly not hours… none prepared to look away… none prepared to lose…! My grit thrilled me, his devastated me!

The game made me troubled… yet…since i had to feed the small ego of mine in some way, n this being the most undemanding of all… I kept staring at the insect the same way as it did… the thought of triumph was already hovering over my mind... just then I cud hear someone calling out my name, n I desperately wished that it weren’t my boss n I knew it certainly had to be my boss…n I wasn’t wrong… I wish I cud still move on with the game… but sadly besides feeding my ego, I also had to feed my l’ll stomach n m glad I actually think this way…

I went off to my boss’s cabin and came out after a while just to see the insect winking once as if to say, hey lets start it again! Me disturbed with the idea, tried to fly it off… n this guy flew up above my head n continued staring at me from his new conquered spot… it left me amazed to see the insect such fearless, arrogant and stubborn… not willing to give up...the grit such adamant, the drive such sanguine. With a certain sense of awkwardness, i finally decided to carry on with my work… n forget this very ridiculous, unimportant n insignificant creature!

I had always hated the grapes for their sourness n I always shall...!
