Yesterday in the evening i was sipping drinks with friend of mine after a long haul. It had been quite some time that we reconnected with each other. Early this day we had a tough time in regional business meet where most of us was screwed for not meeting benchmark. Nevertheless, keeping tradition alive we decided to "Move On" and gulp some drinks before we hit our respective home.
It was 10 pm that my friend witnessed that he had a message from her friend demurring for not being in touch for more than 24 hrs. He realized the gravity of situation and responded back immediately with a polite message i believe. I could make out all was not well between them. More he was being persuassive, the more pensive he appeared. At this point in time i advised him to call her directly and persuade her by appraising of the situation hoping rationality will prevail. Alas i was wrong. No response of the calls he made.
Today after a day, i received a call from him, he appeared to be broken from within. I inquired if all is well? He Replied, " Its finished between us". I insisted for more, he started sobbing. I came to know that they had been meeting with each other for last couple of month and in course had become close pal.
He told me its "All Over" buddy from her side. Moreover she probably had advised him to "Move On".
I did not know what to say and how to react in given situation. Sanctity of relationship has lost its meaning. I felt guilty of inviting him over drinks. I had no words to console him. At the sametime i am happy for him for the reason that if this relationship had no strength to hold on for 24 hours then how would it bear the weight of life. I tried explaining him these words but in vain. I am sure he would understand what i said to him in course of time. I am sometime forced to think, slowly and gradually society is gaining scores of IQ however we are losing on EQ. We do every thing possible to make our child IQ compliant however we hardly teach them the importance of having higher EQ. In life its EQ which will make us a good human being not IQ for being human more important than any thing else.
