People I tell you, they come in different shapes, sizes, and configurations. But the basic difference lies all in the wiring, sockets, and circuits. Some have their circuits acting more cranky than the others; while some others have problems in their sockets; the plug just dosen't fit in- however hard you try. There are still others with major problems in wiring. You understand, right? Problems with wiring as in the positive, negative and the neutral wires; and the entangling, and sometimes the direct contact of the positive with the negative, and then the sparks and the crackers and the celebrations.

Let us assume that its your birthday, and bearing in the mind the fact that you are such a generous gem of a person, you throw a big big party inviting all the people around. All the people as in all the people irrespective of their problems of wiring and short circuits.
You play a good host, and everyone gets an amazingly huge serving of ice cream to it; and that too, to each his own flavour. Yummy, simply delicious, and that too with some dripping hot chocolate sauce and a cherry on the top.
Ahem.. Ahem.., now what do I say; well, just that I want to be invited to your birthday party too.... Hmmmmm
We better get back to the point now. You go around serving ice cream to people, and they all give you their biggest sweetest of smiles, and obviously, you nicely reciprocate all the gestures. And then, not that you are boasting of your nice hospitable nature, but still you do go around talking to people and ensuring they are having fun.
There are people laughing away enjoying every bit of the ice and the cream, before it melts away. There are people licking and biting and smiling and singing, there are people who are eating very very slowly lest they should finish it very quickly; and these are the ones who ask you if they can get another one once they are done with the first serving. You assure them that they can have as much as they want, and they thank you and enjoy their creamy treat. But, their are still others, who are having one bite very very slow lest they should finish it soon, and the very next bite very very quickly lest any bit of it should fall down. These are the ones who are asking their friends "what if the cherry falls down", "what if the ice cream melts before i can finish it", "what if others enjoy and have their face full smeared with the cream", "what if my face is all smeared with cream and others all look squeaky clean", what if I want to have another ice cream after this"; and on hearing this last "what if", you suddenly spring into action knowing that there's someway atleast you can make them happy, and you immediately tell them they can have another full ice cream; but then they'll ask you "what if all the others are eating more quickly than us", and "what if each one has already had a second serve before we are done, and there's none left for us", ant there you stand without an answer, but then you tell them if that is the case, you'll go run, and buy them another big bowl of ice cream, and then they are suddenly not sure if they should be happy, or there's still something left to worry about.

They think and you think...... thinking about...
