NOTE: This post has no intention to hurt anyone’s emotions. It is meant for people who are habitually and not genuinely sad.

I faced a good failure recently and, honestly, tried hard to be sad but failed again. After offering two and a half minutes of grief to it, my concentration shifted from failure to grief and truly speaking/typing I found it extremely funny to be sad.

Last time I was sad for a complete month. Well! Now when I think of it, it was interesting. I had to do nothing but be sad. It was an assassination of a month which had 24 hours each day. I confess, I killed that, destroyed that completely. Some ash/memories are remaining which I would like to share.

My siblings had panipuri from my favourite stall and I was busily sad.

My friends enjoyed a get together party and I was again sad.

My sister was having a chocolate cake; I did not snatch that from her as I had to be sad.

It was raining once…no I think…thrice, and I preferred to stay in room with windows closed (the idea goes with the mood), not to forget I was sad.

One of my favourite comedy shows was on and I did not laugh (this was something unusual), it means I was seriously sad.

I avoided listening to SUD on Radio Mirchi as I could not dishonour sadness.

When the sun was beautifully awake every morning in the same blue sky –I was sad.

Stars glittered around the moon almost every night in the same sky but my blurred vision with eyeful of water could never appreciate its charm- Really SAD! (It is getting poetic now)

Well! The list is long…

When the whole world was enjoying its share of life…how funny! I was sad.

So, a post- sadness advice to everyone, please don’t miss the chocolate cake. Don’t be sad. After all we get nothing out of it. Let the loss lose and failure fail. We won’t be sad. Coz it is really very funny to be sad.
