Cheating

=========================================================================

We were talking of how smart Ishani has grown...she is just 2.

Her dad, who wasn't even talking articulately at that age, narrated her latest:

He was lying on his bed and opened a packet of Sone Papri and started munching. Ishani arrived, saw it, and asked him for a bite. He said, since she has already had her fill, she should get her mom's permission. She ran to the threshold of the kitchen and shouted:

"Mom, can I please have a bite of Sone Papri?"

And ran back.

"Did you ask your mom?"

"Yes!"

"What did she say?"

"OK"

So far, it is fine. Only thing is she didn't know her dad knew that her mom was not in the kitchen but in the bathroom.

This is what I call feminine artfulness...no boy can ever do it so subtly...he would throw a tantrum most likely.

MSS used to tell me there is no harm in cheating others. But when one starts cheating oneself, the sky is the limit before he is dumped on the ground. Kings and Dictators, who routinely surround themselves with admirers fall into this trap and lose their balance, judgment, and their kingdoms.

Those who write their memoirs and autobiographies also start believing in what they recall with pleasure and nostalgia. They color the events so subtly they start firmly believing what they wrote.

Also Bloggers...
