Misconception

In life there are times when we face situations where our adeptness fail, our precedents misguide, assumptions contradict and everything seems to be erroneous, and after that you realize that it is all because of a MISCONCEPTION. The misconception may be of any theorem of your subject, of any ritual of your family, any common belief etc. whatever the case is misconception always bring sorrow for you.
Well, I too had many misconceptions in my life, that the angel who always took away my broken milk tooth and give me 5 rupees in return really exist, that my uncle will forget our address if I listen a story in the morning instead of night, cricket is our national game, matter is indivisible (this we all had, as class 6 NCERT taught that), it is impossible to score 80% + in class 11, our chemistry teacher (who was our class teacher also) is really strict and rude (but she wasn’t, she is nice, caring and very helpful person), that you don’t need to advance the spark timing in an S.I. engine if you are using fuel of higher octane number (but you have to advance it to avoid knocking)…… Although there are many misconceptions still left but the one I recently encountered has changed my life (a bit).
After a long time I called one of my best friend who is in Pune pursuing MBA. As I usually badinage with all my best friends I was following the same conventional routine. During the conversation I was trying to jape when I comment that “You never do whatever you say. You always make promises like whenever we are in same city we will meet but you never even tried for the same”
And that’s where my precedent misguided me and my assumptions contradicted and I realized it when I heard a wept reply!!!!! Yes, my friend was crying or was just about to cry (I don’t remember exactly) and I realized that it all happened because of a MISCONCEPTION. I admit my mistake immediately and cleared the air and things became normal again, after that we had some general conversation and then hung up.
Now, the moral part what I have learned from this incident is: 1. If you are calling your best friend after a long time then never make mockery of him/her.
2. This one is very important always remember that “Girls are Emotional and Sentimental” (and never said that they aren’t in front of a girl, as I have done this also in the past……)
