Malgudi Days.... Ta na na Ta na na na

This one I happen to read out multiple times,
and still enjoy reading each time .

During our childhood one of the most amazing and best story telling was done by RK Narayan... All stories used to emerge from Malgudi....

Doordarshan (The only television channel we cherish during our childhood) used to air Malgudi Days...

Malgudi represented like any small village with house scattered across, one school in the village... fields used to be playground when not plough, sunset meant to be time for dinner and sleep....
On some days grandparents would narrate stories to kids under moon lit night....

A big Banyan tree would be located center of the village where all men would retire and talk politics though out the night (neither the state legislative nor the local panchyat would have any impact due to the discussion) buy that the best past time....

One kid named Swami was also in Malgudi.... His cricket team was named MCC (Malgudi Cricket Club) sound real big... but lost all the matches they ever managed to play.... but were determined that one day they will be champions...

Being inspired we also named our cricket team MCC.... while we were visiting our grandparents in Kerala during summer school vacation...

MCC - Matangi Cricket club, not to lie neither did we clinch nor had a nail biting for each and every match we played... but yes we did win once in a while against guys twice our age…

Only noticeable thing that happen was we all kid were being roasted and baked during the hot and humid Kerala summer… only to be refreshed with fresh coconut water…

All my memories came alive while reading tales from Malgudi....

No I can't

How many times each one of us would have said in past... and would be saying back in future as well?

Why we do say No I cannot, is it really because we are not able to or we do not want to....

Mostly when we are to do any thing we looks forward for its ROI....

Please don’t miss understand me as I am not putting forth any management concept... I guess from our innocence childhood itself we were taught how to evaluate.....

If I am quite and do nit trouble we will get something, it's kind of leverage we each time if we should our best or did the best 'as directed'....

To get better grades, I would have to suppress my though and have to express and frame answers or solution in the best and easiest way my exam moderator would understand and will yield better grades in any of the exams.

Over a period, we learnt when to say No I cannot, each n every time when the ROI was not so rewarding.

I say some are fortunate and courage’s enough to stand by and continue what they started or supported.

Every know and then we come across things that for a moment make tiu realize I wish I could, some take that chance and try fulfill their long pending desire to accomplish it, where as for some the very moment vanishes in thin air waiting to get life once again next time.

Last week while walking across I heard some one playing guitar, he was striking the right code... many people surrounded him. I too thought to spare a glance and see what is so special… that is when I realized how special the person was.... an example of commitment, strong will power and inspiration to fight and survive.

So it's the question for ourselves do we need to know the ROI before we are to do anything or we will be get something done unconditionally
