Well I was going to sip my hot cappuccino this morning in my favourite cafeteria in downtown of Munich.....a recognized word struck to my ear suddenly on this winter morning "Hello luv".... Well this was a bit of British accent so I was obliged to respond to the word so I did and conversation got start. What I found out?, Why I am writing this? I take you there just read it patiently (*Smiling)
Joe: Hello luv?
I:(I was astonished that I heard British accent after so many years and also that in Germany!) Hey there! Have we met before?
Joe: That depends on how you see me, a friend or a stranger...
I:I see you as a stranger, does that make a difference?
Joe: Of course you do and yes it does..because then either you're so rigorous or you are somewhat can't express yourself in front of others (*Laugh)
I: That you called sense of humour in front of a Lady i guess (Smiling after my Sarcasm)
Joe: This is my call to determine what personality you are so i choose my next a few words meticulously (smiling at me)
I: I am not impressed (actually he was certainly intelligent, smart and worth to talk,he got my attention certainly)
Joe: Then give me the chance to impress you, Have a cup of cafe for a few minutes if you don't mind? (still smiling)
I: I am listening....
Joe: So it's a wintry morning, too much to get outside....(suddenly i scrap his words and stepped into conversation vigorously..)
I: Still we are here! (smiling)
I: Bytheway may i know you now if it is still not too late gentle man?
Joe: By all means my lady!! It's never too late for anything
(a formal smile but with some curiosity on face though i was thinking that curiosity killed the cat sometime but let's go on...i don't want to miss my Decaf)
I:So you wanted a date or what?
Joe: I wanted a conversation and you fetched me (smiling)
I:Very well, so you believe in flirting?
Joe: That is not cheating, yes Madame i believe in that but i rather do impress people...
(I made sure that he is not just regular guy who stalks beautiful ladies or just pick up on anyone for pleasure..that's a relief and impressive at the same time...)
I: So why me? why come to me?
Joe: First you have no ring in left finger (both laughing)...and second that suggest you are hard nut to crack, say if am i wrong somewhere (laughing)
I:I am not tooting my horn but yes you are right about everything (Laugh),but still this is the reason you approached at me,your aim is still in mist to me, I repeat, why am
I only, among whole cafe, full of elegant people?
Joe: Don’t bother to ask, some answers come only on the horse of time,if you are intelligent, you would pick them simply.
I: Bother to ask any question about me?
Joe:No,i don't have any(I was amazed, he even was not looking at me when answering, he just simply watching outside the window)
I: So you didn't come here to flirt and to discuss anything either, then what do you exactly want?
Joe: I am here, is another thing and i can discuss, I was just wanted to you start first my Lady!
(His voice was soo deep and exquisite like inviting me to dig deep what he wanted to tell me..)
I:(with laugh) well as you say I am an intelligent, so i can discuss particle physics or 5 new planets recently been in the news, talks on economies or serious talks on conflict of middle earth...
Joe:(serious face expressions) now we're talking, planets are fine, economy is a reason, middle earth conflict is the result discussion over, it is time to act..
I:I was shocked,this answer was nothing for them who don't understand,as for the ordinary peoples like me but i knew somewhere in my mind that it was a whole discussion in one extra ordinary line for who thinks brilliant.(i still watching at him and he, outside the window,watching like there is something in that silent mist. )
(Suddenly he stood up saying:) Joe:It is very nice to meet you miss, cappuccino was truly amazing, not to mention it was amazing only with you (smiling)
I:Hey!you didn't ask my name either!!!
Joe:Is that necessary (still smiling) I know you by your instincts, there is a reason i chose to talk to you among this people and reason is not in your name but i know you are still in search for many answers including the one question i represented to you today....
(Server comes and give us the bill...)
Waitress:Madame and Herr (german accent for madam and sir) Here's your bill...
Joe:I foot the bill (Smile)
I:Oh i accept your kind offer,Gracias! (smile)
Joe:Pleasure is all mine my kind Lady!! Have a nice day! (wearing his trench and court,smiling and ready to go)
Waitres:Thank you for your tip (smiling), einen schönen tag noch("Have a nice day" in german)..
(Waitress and that mysteriously amazing man had been gone by now and I was also getting ready to go my office and there's the car keys in my bag,it was time to move on certainly...but all the way i was thinking about his words, Oh God! he certainly baffled me with this enigma and i wanted the answer..)
After several hours I was in the office after a important meeting about how we can contribute the world to be a better place by science but Yes!!! this was the point!!! the science, the economy, the conflict in the world!!! I found the answer but in encoded form,I needed the help...but maybe I'd solve this problem by my own now,anyway there was other important things to do in which most important is to meet with a close friend of mine...so i was on my way.
After I dialed a number of my best friend and fixed a meeting, we were here at his house discussing our lives.
I (to my friend):hey you know, today a strange thing happened, I met a very different person...(then i told him everything what did happen to me this morning)
I:So this happened to me...he talked nothing at all, just riddles was there during conversation.
My Friend: Are you kidding me!! he talked alot, he told everything essential, every opinion he has in a few words that's why he took only a few minutes, not to mention he respects time, words and intellect, I describe it to you, see what did he said that he chose you for a reason because you don't have a ring in left hand and you were sitting alone so that depicts you are more focussed on work you do for world rather than thinking about your own life so only you have the intellect to receive whatever he would say, this is the only reason he approached to only you.
again he said "planets are fine, economy is a reason, middle earth conflict is the result discussion over, it is time to act.." that he meant to-planet is fine we discovered them but no one cares about them but that doesn't affect a planet as see our earth, whatever we do any good to it always harm is more than good still we are humans, we can't destroy whole earth but we will destroy ourselves one day, then economy is a reason-very true ,economy is the only reason for what we are living, you do scientific research to make profit and for that you are funded by that same economy, economy gives power and power comes with both boon and curse, economy is the parameter of this world balance, economy decides who lives who dies that clarify the last part that is conflict in middle east & even in whole world and in everyone's life like you and me, is a result in order to gain more power, money, security, name & fame.....and this is the time to act for us,Now you have got the answer as time is ticking, haven’t you? (laughing)
I:This is it!!!,This is the meaning!! Yes! he said everything perfectly.......
(Conversation Part Ended And I Was Thinking All Over Again)
We humans, are so arrogant and blind in addiction of wealth, achievements and power, Whatever we do, we do for a self reason and everyone of us certainly hide it and refuse that we have a reason. That man can see in the mist, the blindness of world,we are in mist, we scientist claim for discoveries, we reporters claim that we fight for people and justice, we engineers claim to build extra ordinary things, we managers and businessman claim to contribution in economy and managing of the world and societies but at some point we all know in our heart that in the end this all comes to wealth, career option, livelihood ,I know there are people out there laying lives for us but those are not only responsible for doing good, what we are doing on the cost of their lives?? are we really working on what we are supposed to do work for? That mysterious man raised the question for all of us, he questioned me but not in plain sailing way..I suppose I found his riddle's answer but I still have to determine my answers or we say to pick up all of 'em as time goes on..........
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
