Chapter 22: chapter 22

Azeez - I didn’t get anything. Everything passed over my head. Vicky - Aman, please don’t take everything so seriously. It was just a normal situation and it happens in everyone’s life. These little situations don’t make us a diseased person. And I think you are a very sensitive person. I suggest you not to be so sensitive. If you are thinking so deeply about such trivial situations, then what will you do in your life, when you really have to face big critical situations? Azeez - Yeah, Vicky is right. Do you have any answer for that, Aman? I smiled and said, “I think my logic was better than his. And I am not saying that in an egoistic way. If you feel your logic is better than me then you follow your logic. For me, my logic is better than yours, so I will follow my logic. Simple.”Azeez - Okay, let’s see whose logic is better. All of you raise your hands who are on the side of Vicky’s logic? All raised their hands except Neha. Azeez - Three votes of me, Gagan and Sanya are for Vicky. Now, all of you raise your hands who are on  the side of Aman’s logic. Nobody raised his or her hand. Azeez said in a childlike way, “Oh, I am so sorry, Aman. You lost. Clear victory of Vicky.”I said jokingly, “That’s why I don’t like democracy because intelligent people are always in the minority! Hehe!”Azeez - But one thing I didn’t understand. I laughed and said, “What?”Azeez - Neha, you neither raised your hand or Vicky’s logic nor for Aman’s logic. Why? Neha - Because I am still confused whom to support! Haha!All burst into laughter. Neha - Guys, let’s leave all this stuff and plan for the coming Sunday.Sanya - Yeah, good idea. If we plan beforehand then our Sunday will go great. Otherwise, we will go on thinking on Sunday “What to do? What to do?” Hehe. Gagan - Right. Let’s plan something. Neha - Why not go to a forest type area or a forest and camp there for a night. Vicky - It’s a brilliant idea. Azeez - But if we want to camp at night then we can’t go on Sunday. Neha - Why? Azeez - Because we have to stay there overnight. If we go there on Sunday, then on Monday, we will not be able to even get up. Hehe! And Monday is a working day. We have to go on with our jobs and we have taken sufficient leaves. Neha - Oh, yeah, that I had forgotten. Hehe. Azeez - We should go on Saturday evening. Sanya - Okay. Done. I hope we all can go for camping on Saturday. All said unanimously, “Yes.”Sanya - And Aman what about you? Are you sure that you can come? I am asking you again because you always differ from us. Hehe. I chuckled and said, “Yeah, I am sure.‘Sanya - That’s great then. So, finally, this Saturday evening, we are going camping. Vicky - We will start our journey in the morning since we don’t know when we are going to find an area of our choice. Gagan - Okay. Fine. On Saturday morning at about 10 a.m.All of us were in Vicky's car. He was driving the car and taking us to a jungle type area nearby that he came to know from his friends. Vicky - We will reach our destination in the evening and for the full night, we will have fun. Our car is filled with beers and whisky!Sanya and Azeez said, “Yay!” All the way, we talked, had fun, laughed a lot, cracked jokes and finally we reached our destination at about 6 p.m. The area was filled with trees. Different kinds of birds were chirping. Cool air blowing over there was soothing our skin. Neha exclaimed in excitement, “Wow! This area is mind blowing!”Aman - Amazing! I am loving it. Vicky took out the mats from the car and lay them on the ground and said, “Guys, let’s take rest for a while. Then we have to set up our camp and lit fire before it gets dark. This area is like a jungle and fire keeps the animals away if there is any.”Gagan - Right. We all lay on the mats and looked at the vast blue sky. Gagan - How beautiful the sky looks! I guess I am seeing the sky properly after years. Perhaps, I saw the sky like that when I was a child. Aman - You are right, Gagan. Normally, people don’t even look at the sky. Since smartphones came in our lives, we never looked up. Our eyes are always fixed on our mobile screens and our head is always inclined at 45 degrees! Hehe!Gagan - Yeah, true. Aman - Thank God, it’s not my case. I still see the sky as much as possible. But looking at the sky in this jungle type area is really beautiful. This experience is really very cool. Vicky - But Aman, you can’t say that smartphones are bad. Nowadays, without smartphones, we can’t even earn money. Almost in every profession, we need smartphones. And our smartphones keep us updated about everything in the world, in our nation, in our state and even in our area. It has become the part and parcel of our life. Aman - When did I say that smartphones are bad? Smartphones are not bad. The way we are using smartphones is bad. Smartphones were supposed to support us in our day to day tasks. But I guess, now we are supporting smartphones. Hehe! They are meant to be our slaves but we have made them our masters. Hehe. Gagan - Hmm… I don’t know about other things. I know only one thing that without smartphones, we can’t even pass our time. Our life is entertaining because of them. Sometimes, I think a smartphone is better than a wife! Hehe! I guffawed and said, “You are right. Because a smartphone speaks only when we want! Haha!”Azeez frowned at me kiddingly, “Don’t forget that a wife is sitting right in front of you!”(It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment and please don't forget to follow me and become my superfan.
