This post is not about strange people or haircuts, not about politics, not about race.
It involves something interesting which I like to write about. This post is about life, decisions, and the question each of us should ask at some point in our lives – “What Could I have done?”
Few days back my friend introduced me to a young man who walked into my company. So handsome, Dashing..!!! What became clear to me over the next few days was that very little had ever been expected of him to be good academically as well as in behaviour. So caring and soft spoken. He neither had attitude of being topper of class nor that he is so good looking and all people appreciate him as a person. He lived with his friends who were close to him from college days.
As the days went on, he confided in me more and more. I started liking him. I learned from some common friends about his family life, the personal struggles he had faced during college days, his belief that his temper could not be controlled, and his rationale for not dating anyone. He often told his friends that he couldn’t date a girl because they didn’t know how to shut up. They always take way “peace of mind” and given his aforementioned temper, such relationships would never work. I noted that he also admitted that he’d never dated any girl, nor had he will even ask any one out, but he was adamant that his reasoning was sound. I've seen him twice. Both times a chance meeting in a public place. He’d had some ups and some downs, but seemed to be finding his way like so many young men do. Each time I told myself that I would keep up with him, and call if he ever needed me.
But as we tend to do generally, I moved on to the next group of people and the next... “What Could I have done?” I did not give this any thought earlier, but I realize that, I understand that Situation is no different at this point of time. I should have told him my feelings. If he would have rejected my proposal at least I would not have regretted now about not telling him what I felt about him.
