Watch

There was a boy, he had a watch. He loved it very much. One day the watch broke off. Some fault was of the boy's but the watch was also too delicate. Boy tried to repair it. He used to spent about whole of his day in repairing the watch. He wasn't able to sleep in the night thinking of the watch. His father brought him a new watch, but he liked the old one so much that, he wasn't able to drag the thought out of his mind. Every time he saw some one with a watch, he used to get reminded of his own watch, and then things used to get worse. He used to come back to his old watch and tried to repair it again each time he got remined of it.

Days passed and some days later, his friends were surprised to see him with a new watch. They asked with that how did he finally got off it. He said

"I did all that I could to repair it. I met the best technitian in the town, but the results were zero. Then I thought for some time and finally I threw the watch in the sea. Now, I don't have it with me, so I don't try to repair it. I don't get reminded of it when I see a watch with someone else. I could have thrown it earlier, but then I would have thought some time later, that I could have been able to repair it, if i had tried a bit more. So, I tried all that I could to repair it. Now, I was sure that I will not be able to do so. I didn't want to keep the ghost of watch with me. So, I threw it. I was happy, when it was with me for the last two years. Now, I just don't remind myself of those days. Now I have experience of two years of maintaining a watch. I know my mistake due to which it broke down. I will try not to do the same with the new watch".

"Hopes are not always good, sometimes it is better to even loose hope, hopes force you to try, tries maybe success may be failure. They were failure in most of my cases, rather all of my cases. So, i thought of throwing the watch. Now, nothing is in my hand. I know nothing good is going to happen by my tries, but if in any case, some diver may find that watch from sea and give it to me and if someone repair it for me, i will be happy with that, but i am not going to try for it. So, i have both peace of mind and hope. I have a belief that if it belongs to me it will come back"

"Hopes are not always good, sometimes it is better to even loose hope" Bahut badi baat kehdi yaar sms tune. If you are still believing that some diver would rescue your watch, I would love to dive in the ocean and look out for your watch.

Yes i believe that some day, some diver will dive into the ocean and bring me back my watch. I also believe that some technitian will repair it and bring it back to me. But, things are too complicated for someone to dive, and don't want to loose a diver like you in the struggle. :)
