There are certain kind of questions which have multiple answers. Similarly there are some people who have multiple answers to all kind of questions. I happen to know one such family, yes a whole family that possesses this super power. I recently had to pay their family home a visit and what happened there to me could have turned into a national tragedy if i didn't keep my cool.
So one of the kids was unwell , and i asked the father
me: "what happened to the little one? i heard he was unwell."
father: " he had pain his tummy for two days, and i got worried you know. This boy of mine if very sensitive... he got braces for his teeth and his eye sight is also week. So i decided to take him to a specialist. You know my child specialist is very very good. He takes 1500 rs for a check up now ! But he is very good. So he made Ali lie down on his check up bed in his office. It was high , made of wood and a very cute cotton sheet was spread on it. I was really happy to see that sheet. I asked him later where he had gotten the sheet from and he said his wife got it from Fortress Stadium Market. You should also check that place out hunh? Then he asked my boy where it hurts? and he touched his tummy in the centre. The doctor touched him on the right side of his tummy and pressed and asked "does it hurt here?', and Ali said "nooo" . Then the doctor touched him on the left side of his tummy and asked "does it hurt here', and Ali said "nooo". Then the doctor pressed the tummy in the centre and asked "does it hurt here?" and Ali said "yess". So then the doctor said it can be "Jaundice or Typhoid. We must get the tests done!" You know Amber, i got so scared! So i went straight to Shaukat Khanam Lab and got all the tests done. It costed me more than 5000 rs .Meanwhile my child was constantly complaining of pain."
By now i could hear the ants crawling on the walls outside, the electricity currenting through the wires, the termite eating away the wood and under his stern gaze i could not Not listen to him! frustrated and pushed to edge , i snapped at him ,"SO what was diagnosed eventually?"
Father: "Oh nothing..Mashallah Ali is perfectly alright. The doctor said he is just a little weak, so he should rest and take vitamins. He recommended these imported vitamins which you must also give to your kids and..."
I apologized and said that i had to make an important phone call and went outside. Unfortunately i bumped into his older brother outside who explained to me how his new UPS system works on a dry battery so well that i feel i am capable of constructing one on my own..from scratch now.
Any how..... after loosing some precious hours there i finally got into my car, spent 23 minuted saying good byes and for the upteenth time recieving a lecture on why i must produce a son , i left their house.
Driving away I wondering if such people who talk a lot of nonsense , and have no sense that they are either torturing others or making a fool out of themselves, are their ignorant blissfulness actually blissful? or are they as miserable as their intellectual counterparts who try to reason with the trivia of everyday life set in a grand scheme? Anyways... i must cut this blog short now...i really don't like torturing other you know.
