My Diary: Two Tales of a City

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

-  Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist

       The group of words, written above, rhymes to prompt you, me and everyone if we are disparaged and immorally confiscated. It happens and we can’t ignore its happening because we are social and want to be socialised.

        We try to be simple and virtuous. We share our personal stuff to those who seem to be well-wishers but actually they are back-stabbers. 

        Nature-wise, fortunately, I find myself in the category of ‘open book persons’. Persons who tell everything to everyone, trust on anyone and believe in no secrecy, belong to this category. They do not hold diplomacy and in the sake of others they even harm themselves. 

What the tales…

        It was the worst of time, when I was living in Patna, and it is also the worst of time, when I left an employer recently, in New Delhi. But, it was the best of time for people who surrounded me and attempted getting some sort of advantages from me. 

      In result, I found no differences in people’s behaviour of both cities. They are almost same in attitude and temperament. I should have understood their motives. 

      But, again, my understanding of worldliness has been surfaced indicating that I have no quality of dealing people. Because, I do not get over my emotionality and people can make me fool anytime.

       I shocked when HR of a company shown me a screenshot of my social media posts. HR has no access to my social media accounts, even after that HR had screenshots. 

       It happened again to me after one year when a terminated employee sent a screenshot of my suggestions to HR, that had been written for her motivation by me, but she used it as a safeguard to save her job. 

       Then, I, personally, tried to save her job and discussed to the seniors in regard but many of them, who keep showing the nuances of well-wisher of anyone on face, refused and instructed me to not favour her. Even after that screenshot of my personal chatting with her was in then HR phone. Again, two tales have been repeated in a city. 

       Overall, we can save our job of 20K, 30K and 40K by these practices. We can go nearer and nearer to boss by slandering colleagues, criticising and back-stabbing them. We can also get benefits by this methods. 

        But, how long the moral degradation of people will benefit them. Although I was denied for some documents from my previous employer and I might face loss and harm, but it will not change my approach of living life.

       May God keep them away from all evils and guide them to the path of goodness and me too. 

That’s all!
