Not-So-Secrets of Life

Life in itself is a secret but there are times when we think that what we know is a secret but it isn't.

You may ask me how?

Remember when we were kids and our mom used to threaten us by saying, ‘Papa ko bta dungi’ and after hearing the same we used to start preaching peace & happiness. Well that was a lie, not that we used become saints but the fact that she might tell it to the “dads.”

I mean come on… Dads are just adult version of us.

What extra he is supposed to know other than the fact that he has been pushed to marriage and has his junior version/versions at home now.

Another amazing not-so-secret that almost every second Indian family has is that how our grandparents went miles to study in class full of kids and also how their dads fought with the ghost of their respective villages.

Surprisingly they are proud of this lie too. No… not that they went miles to study but that their forefathers fought ghosts.

Ever wondered while telling or teaching us anything they start with what we have in our times and what they didn't had. How we have all the distracting things and how focused they were in their little commodities.

Yes grand-dads, that’s why we reached in billions. It’s your generation who did this. Not us. We are busy in candy crush not putting candy in crush like you guys.

And then every other friend of yours tells their local legends claiming that their story is original.

Alright, this is also a not-so-secret but it might be for the beautiful gender so I’m putting it in a very decent way that we, the men, do not go to washroom to talk.

We go toilet to pee and when we pee, we don’t talk unless it’s cricket. We gaze wall till we are done and once we are done we don’t stay there unless copying answers for exam.

For intellectual gender – they (The beautiful gender) do go there to talk or why else they go in group? Bhayion, they don’t go in groups to make hissing sounds for each other.

Life is full of not-so-secrets. Let me know other not-so-secrets if you guys can think of any till then I’m going Hogwarts to complete my graduation.

P.S. Never tell your gracious secret to anyone but do tell your shameful secrets to people. It makes you strong, learnt recently.

See you guys soon
