*Pushy Salesmanship*

*Pushy Salesmanship*
(From Seshadri to Sanjoy)
I sincerely believe that each one of us presents a distinct identity,personality and temperament. I am perfectly ok with that. There isabsolutely no need to be a terrible salesman which somehow the world hasreduced us to. THe important point is as you say, "do you really enjoy yoursituation". Are you happy the way you are? At the end of the day, to repeata truism, we are all here to have a "good" life, a happy life. *In fact, notto be a salesman and not crib about the consequence of not being a salesmanis a rare occurrence*. it is indeed a refreshingly better thing to be. I seeall around myself (myself not totally excluded) people who are running allthe time, tense all the time, pushing and jostling all the time to get"somewhere". They never stop worrying; never question as to what they arechasing. To give you a Bombay analogy, you will find the suburban stationsflush with people at 12 Midnight, going about at a pace which seems quiteunnatural for that part of the day. One would normally want to "pause"-kabhi tho rukh jao yaar! No, they seem to never question themselves, go deep into what all this is for? So Sanjoy, if you are fine the way you are, which I am sure you really are,that's great! You are a blessed one! I agree that I would rather learn humanpsychology reading George Elliot, Dosteyvesky than reading "Seven Easy Stepsto Win your Customers".

I have been to Lakhimpur Kheri. It is a very rich belt known for the sugarmills and proximity to the Dudhwa National Park.
Unfortunately the people there are extremely corrupt and killing of interferers is commonplace. It is jungle Raj.
Some people cannot live in peace. So they die early for getting it.
The problem with people who do not die young is that they see the infer.
If you are affected by the incident then you are not at peace with life and the injustice all around. You are also normal.
This is life and stories are made of such stuff.
So now we have people protesting. Maybe someone will get apprehended or maybe nothing will happen. Come what may, life will not stop.
