And this has purely been portrayed from the view point of a character who experienced two contrasting aspects of behaviour from the same party.<br /><br />So, I dont quite see how you could disagree with me when I have taken no position at all!<br /><br />Getting to the last word in the post, yes, I did use the word "Sacrifice". Again, the situation here is entirely subjective. I have NOT called the action a sacrifice; it was a description of the emotions that ran in the mind of the person on his way back home. Subjectively, any person has the right to feel, justifiably, any act a sacrifice. And the position of the man has been described from the view point of the character - the woman. Again, I think you would understand, it is entirely subjective.<br /><br />The whole episode has been a narration from the perspective of a character in the post. My definition of the word "Sacrifice" may or may not be much different from what you find here; the point is, there is no scope for me to define things in this particular post in *my* terms.<br /><br />"Did your friend not think of calling the emergency number in the first case? "<br /><br />If you read the first comment, I have made it very clear that all of these is *BASED* on actual incidents. I have not portrayed things as they happened. The entire post is just to bring into focus, the contrasting ways of life and how rules are not objective at all. Rules have been broken in the first case and in the second, they have been hard and fast, with no emotions attached whatsoever. <br /><br />This is a real incident adapted for the post. What has been narrated is not all that happened. And whether the woman used the emergency numbers or not is out of context as far as this post is concerned. She may have - she may have not; but that just is not the focus of the post. <br /><br />"Talk the talk and not walk the talk is a very sad state of affairs these days!"<br /><br />I would definitely be pleased if you can explain what you meant by that. And I really do wonder if you still have to say something on that after all the explanations that I have given you about the context and scope of the post. If you do, please shoot.Krishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274726335266587754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17768348.post-78404409062935489022006-12-25T10:25:00.000+05:302006-12-25T10:25:00.000+05:30*smuggling etc., THAT tarnish the bliss*smuggling etc., THAT tarnish the blissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17768348.post-80254068163194205572006-12-25T10:24:00.000+05:302006-12-25T10:24:00.000+05:30Hi,

So going on that scale, smuggling may be bad for some and carrying extra baggage may be bad for others and both may be bad for most!<br /><br />Now, we all want to stop activities like smuggling etc., to tarnish the bliss of this world. Agreed. So, what happened in the first part of your narration is very much a point of concern!<br /><br />But in the later part,I quite disagree with you on two things-<br /><br />1. His disappointment is very much the result of his own negligience towards his social responsibilities and moral ethics. I suppose if he is flying, he would be responsible enough to understand the baggage limits and stick to it! He should not have carried excess baggage in the first place. Simplest of reasons being, imagine if every passenger, in the name of having a doting family treated sweets and asavouries as not something a part of extra baggage but an allowance that should be made on emotional grounds!!!<br /><br />2.//getting back home after years of sacrifice!//<br /><br />Sacrifice???? Well, choice is the word! If he chose to work abroad say for career sake or monetary gains or whatever be the reason, you cant call it sacrifice for him being away. He made the choice. Who asked him to? It was his call on it! So years of sacrifice is not even a ground for him to earn a sympathetic feeling in this case. <br />Talk of warheroes, military men, firemen etc., who go away from family for a greater purpose. But not the ones who go for individualistic gains and for the sake of the very same family on whose name you think consolation and sacrifice are bestfits!<br /><br />Nonetheless, this was an interesting observation!!!!!<br /><br />Did your friend not think of calling the emergency number in the first case? anonymous calls are allowed and she could have alerted in time! Oh well! Talk the talk and not walk the talk is a very sad state of affairs these days!<br /><br />SAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17768348.post-76514719255550589112006-12-19T23:36:00.000+05:302006-12-19T23:36:00.000+05:30Based on actual incidents at Colombo Airport and a...Based on actual incidents at Colombo Airport and an Airport at one of the Gulf Countries, in the Middle East.Krishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274726335266587754noreply@blogger.com
