Four friends sitting at a pub with beer mugs. What conversation do you expect?
"Spiritual awakening under the influence of Spirit"I say!
Let's call them F1, F2, F3 and F4. Two pegs down and the conversation begins.
F1 : "Yaar enough of this life. Same work day in and day out".
F2: "True Dost, this work is killing me personally and professionally".
F3 with a sad face: "Me and my wife hardly talk."
F4 with a determined face: "Why do we run behind money? I think we should leave all this and start living our lives."
All of them agree and toast "Cheers! to a new life". It's a cue to the bartender to fill the mugs.
Then our friends start the real conversation. Their plans vary from starting their own venture to travelling. Trip plans spanning from the Himalayas for a peaceful life to Haridwar for freeing oneself of sins. From Leh Ladakh to Mount Abu to Kanyakumari.
They discussed their everyday routine which was about to change. Morning Meditation and yoga and laughter club. Zen life and Taichi were touched upon and a number of books they had to read to get wisdom.
Suddenly family was the most important thing. Parents, wife and kids were the best thing to happen.
Good Gurujis and Gods were thanked.
As it neared mid night, all of them headed back to their cars. They parted with hugs , tears and promise to catch up regularly and committed to live their lives.....
The bartender was a witness to all this. He smiles and heads back to the counter waiting for the next set of friends with similar set of conversation. He also knows what would happen next day.
What?? You want me complete the story??
