A level of satisfaction we fail to attain.

Episodes when you observe, part 1

Susan came to her house and complained,
' My friends noticed that I was wearing the same jeans. Do you even realise how embarrassing that was. This time I somehow managed an excuse but trust me I do not want a next time. You better understand'
She stomped into her room. Her mother managed to hear her murmur 'pathetic' as she shut the door.
They exchanged glances. A long sigh..

Why are we like this? Have we forgotten to appreciate the things around us. Or is it really difficult for us to manage with the " just sufficients"

While returning from a journey in a train I noticed something. Luckily my eyes were "wide open" this time. For there is so much happening every moment. Okay so what I saw was a not-so-newly-wed couple, sitting beside me smiling at each other. Apparently they just bought 2  twenty rupees toys upon the fascination it brought to the wife due to its light emitting property. They really enjoyed the toy and spent some "quality" time with each other.
What I found interesting in this is the fact that a small light emitting toy can bring so much joy to two people aged late 30s sitting in a non-ac compartment wearing not-so-fancy clothes while wearing same jeans to a particular meet up with friends brought so much worry to a  Susan living in a well constructed centralised air conditioning flat in New york.
Maybe this is what they call, diversity. Maybe this is what creates all the differences.

Just tell me why it aint possible.  I mean come on, just look around you, look at the things you do each day. Even now do you think its not possible? Then you are wrong. Just think about it. When you feel hot, dont you take a card or paper and swipe it. Dont you get fresh air now. How? There was air before also. But its strenght wasnt enough to suffice your thirst. But now when you used that card and moved it left and right, more air came rushing. But from where? The air was already there but this time you put your effort and strenght, so air quenched your thirst. Hmmm... Right! Think about it. And tell me.

It was raining heavily. Rain drops were hitting the roof of the old pavilion and she felt like finally the 150 year old house was going to fall down. She stared at her at huge stomach, smiled and said 'its okay baby you sleep, daddy has gone out to buy your mom some good food, dont worry he will be coming soon'.  But deep down she couldn't ignore the tension she was undergoing, her increasing heart beats. It was not due to the rain or thunder, but this was the flashback. The memory that still made her go mad, made her reach depression.  She knew she wanted her husband to sit near her now. She wanted to hug him. She moved to the side of her bed to grab the phone. Just then there was a knock on the door. She stopped. Her eyes stopped moving. The knock continued, now more loudly.
