Saying thus the young man bid bye to his bosom friend tears rolling down his cheeks..
When 'Jealousy' can never be thought of in him in respect of his friend..
Days passed.. The friend got into a company whose Management in a short time deputed him for higher studies. The young man too joined another company..
“Dear! Your company bosses appear to be highly encouraging. Best of luck!”
He wished his friend on the eve of his deputation
When 'Jealousy' took birth in him at micro level..
A few years passed. The friend had grown to the Manager's level in his company. The young man, not so young by then continued to be at lower level..
“Congrats on your promotion, dear! Your company seems to be quite good. Here, I find no such encouragement!”
Were his comments on the day of the friend's promotion,
When 'Jealousy' in him started talking softly..
Some more years passed.. The friend had shot up to the Senior Position in his Organization..
“Congrats on your achievement. Best of luck! I'm OK!”
Were the few words from the then middle aged man who could become just a Manager by then,
When 'Jealousy' openly started cutting short the talk..
“You know! Mr______ has been appointed as Deputy Chief of our company from out side. Seems to be very smart guy!”
Was the talk on a day and the man already knew that it was his friend only..
"Congratulations!"
He just said along with others and moved away,
When 'Jealousy' peaked in him with cursing happening within..
“They both were classmates!”
Some one was commenting..
"So what? It doesn't mean I should have done what all he had done.. Don't talk rubbish!"
He said and curtailed the talk then and there,
When 'Jealousy' started speaking out openly..
In a year, the friend became the GM of the company and the man could max become the Head of his Dept. On fine day, some one heard him talking softly in the ears of one of his colleagues..
“Dear! You know.. Our new GM.. Difficult to deal with him, Yaar.. He points out on everything. We might have been class mates but that doesn't mean, we were close friends. These people, when they come to power so easily quickly forget that long ago........... Unfortunately I'm caught here not able to go anywhere!”
When 'Jealousy' ultimately engulfed the then elderly man making him rage within endlessly!

It can strike anybody. Yet not many would like to admit to having it.... Nice post.
ReplyDeleteRightly said, Rajeev.. It happens often and I can never imagine that it is me too.. Thanks for the compliment.. Wishes!
DeleteBut isn't it basic human nature? We learnt it from three idiots
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Raghav, to become jealous of someone is basic human nature and nothing to hate about it but as a human being, one should strive to lessen it as well as see that no damage is done to the opponent.. That way knowing how it works in us helps.. The Post is in that context alone.. Thanks for the query.. Wishes!
DeleteJealousy is a very real human emotion. We need to acknowledge it if we feel it to overcome it, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRightly said, Aesha.. There is no escape from it for an ordinary human being like me and it invariably overpowers at one stage.. But whatever, I should observe all that happening and if one becomes vigilant, it's sure possible.. That observation alone helps one ultimately limit it.. Thanks for the query.. Wishes!
