the Thinker

No – The most basic monosyllabic word with simply two letters in it that states the negative in any expression, emotion or anything for that matter with such definite clarity and assertiveness that no other word can perhaps.

This is the word we use daily perhaps over a million times to deny, refuse or maybe lie.

This is the word an employer says to his employee who earlier in the day had sent across a mail requesting for a leave.

This is the word a mother might use on her son who makes a hue and cry on the street as he points out to her the ice cream trolley across the road.

This is the word a daily worker gets to hear from his master when he asks for a hike in his wages.

This is the word a youngster gets to hear from the girl he has been dreaming of throughout his college days, when finally he asks her out.

This is the word a wife gets to hear from her husband whom she loves more than life, when she asks him whether he loves her or not.

This is the word an 8 year old gets to hear from a teacher when he spells outs a word wrong.

This is the word a retired person gets to hear many times a day at the pension office when he asks at different tables whether his work will be done soon.

This is the word a concerned person, who has waited for long over a critical operation of his beloved one, might receive from a doctor when he asks him whether it was a successful operation.

This is the word a guy who is in a hurry might hear from a cab driver when he tells him his destination.

This is the word we all use so many times in a day, in so many cases and so easily. Just a thought- Wish there was place more a few more ‘Yes’-es than ‘Nos’ in this world. Amen.

I think 'yes' is equally a crime. You can't just blame the word. The situations are at fault most of the time.

hmm so after a long time you are back!
hope you had a great new year ! ....
well btw for the post ..
life is never a one thing its always in pairs .. duality of life is very interesting . a man , a woman , a good a bad , a yes a no !

Ami , its a fact that most of us ll never love hearing a no but s very easy to say no ...
both yes and no needs to be balanced ..... never should one be more than the other.. cos yes as u said no's can come down - but not many yes's too :) for else balance ll not be there !

Dear Amrita,
I had a 'no' from a University regarding funding for a PhD today...but seen from the perspective of the Blue-hued charioteer, or the universe at large, my personal fortunes don;t mean a thing...so no matter how many 'no's are flung at my face by Dame Life, she will one day reciprocate my love.

Hope you transcend the pairs of opposites and remain unruffled under all circs.

Best Wishes

Take care

SARVAM SRIKRISHNAARPANAMASTHU!

Hello Miss Amrita ...

Whats knocking at your door?

A research has shown, by the time we reach 18, we hear the word, “NO” over 1,30,000 times. Just remember your childhood. How many times you have been told, “don’t do this, don’t do that!”, “you’ll never amount of anything” and on-and-on list goes!

Hv a cool day!

Meenu,

Just mooning around the webspace looking for blogs in Chennai and stumbled on your blog.

I was going through your posting randomly,landed on this "BORING" post.

http://amrarrives.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html

I was rolling down on the floor laughing after seeing a comment having the line "Right now, I am bored of the SAP initial access screen".

Ask me why? Because right now even I am bored of seeing the SAP Initial Access screen.Coincidence!!!

All in all it's a nice blog.Looking forward to your next posting.
