My new theory, the gap between the “rich” and “not so rich” is increasing with inverse proportion of the decreasing size of electronic chips in computers.
Well I know you all agree with this, so I will not waste time on explaining this, but I will tell you a conversation taken place which tells how differently people thinks from the either side of valley.
Background : Karan my colleague is this guy from well to do family. I was exiting my office with Karan for an Ice Cream break. (well here I want to make it clear, “I am not gay”), we met our boss’s driver Sanjay, on the way out. As our office is a “shoe-free” zone, we were wearing our shoes, when the driver, Sanjay noticed that Karan had his socks on.
Sanjay : Why are you wearing socks inside office?
Karan : So my feet shouldn’t get dirty.
Sanjay : But why to spoil such a nice pair of socks.
Karan : So what, socks will get washed.
Sanjay : But they will get torn fast too.
Karan : I will buy new ones.
Sanjay : But why to wear at first place, you can wash your feet, but socks life will be short.
Karan : What about my life, its so dirty inside, (actually it’s not, I myself stays bare feet, and anyway I think ours is one of the cleanest office I had ever seen, and I have seen alot) what if I get sick.
Sanjay : So what, take a leave, but to get new socks money will be spend.
I laughed at that time, as I was relieved to be on the other side of the valley. I don’t want to think about my socks, I want to live life. But am I on the better side, or are there are more valleys there, where people doesn’t look at the right side of menu? Well I do.
