History a boon or curse

Sarah ‘I do want each person in this life to attempt Biography’

Lata ‘Indeed important.. else so many try to interpret whatsoever and make a cookbook and make millions believe the same as the truth’

Manuel ‘Dear Friends… do you know why History is taught in schools?

Lata ‘to help us learn the success and failure stories of our great leader and learn what not to do’

Manuel ‘unfortunately… we pick up the strategies to create division using History as a tool’

Comes Jaquline

Jaquline ‘lets try to call an ancestor and see their opinion’

Manuel ‘you mean calling souls from past’

Jaquline ‘absolutely…’

Manuel ‘Interesting’

Lata ‘what needs to be done?’

Jaquline ‘She puts a sheet of paper on ground and holds a pen at left corner’

Jaquline ‘I wish to call the Lord to come and opine of history’

Jaquline ‘Dear Lord… what is your take on History…’

no response

Jaquline ‘so many getting killed and so much unrest… please resolve this mystery’

no response

Jaquline ‘Dear Sir… am your humble student… I will forever learn History… if you tell me one good reason why to believe in it… and how to believe in it?’

no response…

all begin laughing

suddenly Jaquline’s pen begins writing…

‘Believe in self and enjoy History as Story telling excercise but do not use History to create more wars and tensions… and if it happens.. do not blame me for it’

All look shocked..

Jaquline ‘Are you Sir or Madam’

The pen writes ‘in name of gender… do not create gender inequality.. am just a creator, protector and destroyer… an instrument to keep the universe ecosystem alive’

Jaquline ‘Can you throw light on what we need to do?’

The pen writes ‘did anyone really from here.. seen those characters multiple centuries back… characters in flesh and blood?’

Lata ‘NO’

The pen writes ‘how you believe in what is written?’

Sarah ‘we are made to believe’

The pen ‘precisely… you believe because you chose to believe and if you do not believe… that does not mean you are in correct’

Lata ‘so… what we need to do?’

The pen ‘care for each other friends… History wishes to make us understand that great leaders… great believers… Great crusaders… Great warriors…Great propogators… Great compassionate human… all emerged due to purpose of challenges and conflicts coming out of our various beliefs and in future too they may continue… but eventually… we will only thank the inventors for their contribution to this earth..’

Sarah ‘means?’

The pen ‘we should not go to past… and probe the bad happenings… we should go to past and see how we should avoid bad happenings and how can we recover from same’

Manuel ‘Dear… thanks for making us understand true reasons for History… soon we will begin documenting this’

Jaquline has fainted

All help Jaquline recover back

Jaquline ‘sometimes to get logical reasoning back… we need to ask the Lord itself the answer’

All smile at Jaquline

Lata ‘Did you move the pen… or was it Lord’

Jaquline ‘Do not go to past…please’

Politics – loop hole

Minister 1 ‘Do we ever realize why this mess always happens during our tenure only’

Minister 2 ‘opposition party will always oppose us’

Minister 3 ‘there is a big loop hole in politics’

Minister 1 ‘what?’

Minister 3 ‘President always remains silent’

All begin laughing

Minister 2 ‘President has the highest judicial power to do everything’

Minister 1 ‘I disagree… over 50 countries ruled fully by President, but only couple are highly successful’

Minister 3 ‘precisely… the whole way of operations need to be a collaborative one’

Till then the President enters the meeting

President ‘Dear… I was overhearing every thing… ‘

All are silent

President ‘ours is a startup and we have designated our initial leads as our Ministers.. any concern?’

President ‘the entire world has accepted companies with designations like President, Vice President.. so why not Prime Minister, Ministers etc’

Minister 1 ‘Sir… we will land in legal troubles’

President laughs

President ‘we coin a word and assume that word is meant for only government or corporate or NGO or whatsoever.. Am into alphabets these days…. let us not get into politics and let us work for betterment of society’

All ministers silently agree

President ‘we are just objects… we came empty handed… we will go empty handed… all these quest to make all of us immortals or hero’s or even the power of a chair… everything is temporary… an illusion… do loveable actions.. do justifiable actions… do right deeds… all will be fine’

Ministers ‘Sir… thanks for this message… we are on path of our mission to analyze.. .detect… train.. all objects in this vicinity whether it is human or environment or whatsoevoer’

President ‘cool… do not forget our mission’

Love Lost

Jennifer ‘I just have no time for anything.. am under continuous pressures to bring numbers to the company’

Rob ‘me too… the startup investors just want scaling up at any cost’

Fred ‘Love for work is got lost.. Love for family is got lost.. regret the day we got investors onboarded’

Jennifer ‘we get tempted by investments and want assured salaries.. and then we loose independence’

Rob ‘next what?’

Fred ‘am just trying to get this 4th round of funding.. and then sell off this company.. enough of number games’

Rob ‘but our company is showing huge losses’

Fred ‘these investors miraculously keep bringing another set of investors.. and now the valuation is quite good.. am praying the investors sell this company to someone’

Jennifer ‘our baby lost.. love lost…’

Fred ‘no option dear all..we cannot chase money this way’

Jennifer ‘I agree’
