Hence Proved!!!

Am sitting quite idle quietly in my room after my trademark (off late) breakfast of Marie Biscuits & Chai…Had fond plans of breakfast at least today…alas, my breakfast buddy ditched me and happily snoozed away to glory till about 11’o clock…alas…it was not meant to be(sob)

So here I am sitting on my couch (he he…it’s a lousy hard bed but I prefer to refer to it thus…feels good u see…not meant to mislead…poetic freedom anyone??!!!) so, here I am sitting on my couch (Ahem!) and slurping and gurgling piping hot tea. After skipping dinner the other day and sitting doing nothing till some 10 o’clock, it sure tastes heaven u see!

My mind ponders over the mundane things of day to day living…mortal things, and I wonder why we fail to see the deeper meaning attached to things (tch…tch!) do we think of the last grain of rice in the pressure cooker which was once meticulously plucked from the plant, processed by de-shelling(or whatever) and then survived the washing and cooking to land up in our kitchen and waiting to be in our plates…!(he he…no points for guessing the source for this one…I swear this aint mine…common, gimme some credit!)

Hmm…so we end up taking things on the face value and miss out on the intrinsic value (Jarr-gun) inherent in them! For instance, we write a million equations and inequations all thru our school life…and we conclude, “Hence proved…” but did we ever stop to think why only Hens are capable of proving??? Why not sparrows, mainas and doves??? Only and only hens…the very hens that give us eggs!

A worthy friend of mine tarries and muses… “its cause they have two legs…”, he concludes.

I am not convinced… “Even sparrows have two legs”, I insist!

And the discussion goes on. No conclusion is reached of course…but bitten by the curiosity bug, my mind is at work…WHY DID THE HENS PROVE WHAT THEY PROVED?

Is it because they are more intelligent, and so were quicker in the bird classroom that all rest in proving whatever they proved? Coz I gather from my 23 years of experience (of living, what else, huh) that they can probably prove anything in the world…! I guess that is why we eat hen’s eggs and not sparrows. Why else would we toil with formulae and equations and give all credit to the hens by citing ‘hens, oops, Hence proved’ towards the end?

The four year old within me tells me it must be something to do with the red hood that they have…but she quickly corrects herself…hens don’t have that! Is it the hens that wake us up in the morning? I guess not…so what is so special…alas pertinent questions like these and many others have remained unanswered over ages…I wonder if the sages of yore knew!

Hence proved that we don’t think deep enuf…

Yet again, it’s the hens at work…well, aint it an error the way in which we spell ‘Hence’??? they deserve the credit, don’t they? As I always say, it’s a mean mean world!!!

Me? What did I do now? :D
