THIS TOO SHALL PASS.. A source of inspiration

I chanced upon this story of HOPE and SEARCH ... Once upon a time in the era of Jewish king SOLOMON, BENAMIAH, his minister was the prey of his grumpy mood. Solomon ordered him to find a magic ring with extraordinary features: A ring which when worn, the person would become happy when sad and vice versa.He have his minister 6 months time for his search. The minister did not give up and was depressed as there was no such thing that can do this ... Incidently, he chance upon a poor merchant who was spreading out his goods on the carpet. The old merchant sold him an old ring that has just 4 words inscribed on it... When the minister gave the same to Solomon, there was a mix of two expressions on his face that of a smile and a sense of satisfaction(I wonder Why was he satisfied???) It read" THIS TOO SHALL PASS"

Irony Indeed!!!

I was waiting for my driver and chance upon to see something that seemed so Ironical.. Place: East Delhi, Aggarwal Sweets .. Features: An aunty and the Golgappe waale.. The aunt was in an angry mood as she did not receive her worth of money last time she visited this place .. and I appreciate this gesture of her's.. I mean travelling in expensive Delhi and in traffic just to shout at the golgappa waala. The story goes that she probably bought golgappa worth 30 bucks for parcel, and had those of just 20 bucks.. And she would go on and on and on.... I had just 1 thing going in my mind.."Do we shout at those politicians on face when we find that they have done BEIMAANI(Aunty's term)".. And to this I have not found an answer till date...
