What’s the Point?:

Friend: You girls cry for no reason.

Me: Not true. There are those sentimental lots but most of us, when we cry, we cry for more reason than one.

Friend: Elucidate.

Me: For example – you forget to wish your sister on her birthday. She’s obviously hurt. She will cry not only because you forgot, but for all the times you’ve hurt her like that, for all the times somebody important have missed out on her birthday or anything important.

Friend: I don’t get it.

Me: I can’t explain. You have to be a woman to understand this.

Friend: Try me again.

Me: OK. Suppose you leave this city and go elsewhere. I will miss you. But when I cry, it will not be just the fact that you will be gone. It will also be the fact that you will miss me too, the fact that coffee sessions will never be the same again, that there will be one less good person in this city, it will remind me of all the good friends that I have left behind, how miserable I was when my best friend in school left me when her dad got transferred, how lonely I’ll feel…….you get the drift?

Friend: One good person less in the city I understand, but why do you have to think of the past?

Me: Its not the past…..it’s about all those emotions in the past…which you don’t forget.

Friend: That’s exactly my point. These reasons are absolutely no reasons to cry….and that’s what I said….you girls cry for no reason.

Me: SIGH!!
