Student: Remember, Ravi, the one of your favorite student who used to be enthusiastic for helping teachers?

Teacher: Oh yes, yes! The one and only inquisitive question box of my class!

Student: Sir, do you know one thing! Many a times, even today I enjoy my bliss of solitude simply by remembering our innocent jokes and pranks! What golden days they were!

Teacher: Champ, you still gotta go too far, the place where you will be all by yourself. Ah! this is just a beginning. All too often, the life leaves behind the traces of enriching and sad movements. I know not where this ubiquitous hush leads to, but we all get entangled in the maze if life, yet unsure of what worth it is!

Each and everything we do coincides to the ultimate feelings pleasure and satisfaction, isn't it? And love, that's the basic feeling for every social being like us, no matter for who it is.

Customs and inventions like this have many a times wrenched the earth with blood and will continue to.

Teacher: You've displayed the mere dismal picture of our society. These man-made revolutions cum evils have disturbed and left behind humanity. One thing I was thinking that, if the currencies to each of its citizens equally that to some extent it may make a change.

Student: That's something brilliant! Sir, don't you think we shall have a break bow. My tummy is very desperate, indeed!

Teacher: That's a good idea. We'll go to the restaurant lying at that end.

Student: Okay, let's not waste a second. What would you prefer?

Teacher: The same as you do.

Student: (while eating) The most we can do is to change ourselves or the ones near to us.

Teacher: Exactly, it's after all the thought process that prevails. No thrust can make even a slightest change, although it could control!

Student: At times raging a war is the sole requirement cum demand to defeat the tyrants and maintain the Harmony.

Teacher: Yes! But remember, war is always bloody, be it out of some cause or aggression. Although it is an inevitable fact that to defeat demented tyrants one needs to rage a war!
