Tough Task

I loved this Forward. Do you? Varalotti

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. All of a
sudden, he said out loud, "Lord, grant me one wish."


Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice the Lord
said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will
grant you one wish."


The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii, so I can drive over anytime I
want to."


The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the
logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach
the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! I can
do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of another wish, one that would honor
and glorify me."


The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish
that I could understand women. I want to know how they feel inside, what
they are thinking when they give me the silent treatment, why they cry,
what they mean when they say 'nothing', and how I can make a woman truly
happy."


After a few minutes God said, "You want two lanes or four on that
bridge?"

My dear Sridhar,
You must be aware of the tamil saying " Pathiram arindu pichai idu".
A man gets only what he deserves, not whatever he desires.
No wonder, God prefers to build a bridge !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Dear Chitra,
Building a two-lane or even a four-lane bridge across the ocean to Hawaii is peanuts compared to knowing a womans mind. And thats for God Himself. Please think of us, poor ordinary men!
sridhar

Dear Sridhar,
It was the same God who created us as well, Sir !
So knowing men, God willed this way !
"Poor ordinary men"? - you have coined a new term in your language. The term "conflicts" its own meaning !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

Dear varlotti,
your forward was enjoyable, more so because of chithras reply. I agree with you that men are ordinary creations of God and should never wish to understand the extraordinary creation.
Thank you for the intended compliment,ordinaryman. The biter bit?

Regards,
Meenu

Dear Meenu,
You have also got it wrong.
So let me take classes for you.
There are two opposites for "Ordinary". one is what you have mentioned, extraordinary.
But the second one, which is the only relevant opposite for this thread is "complicated."
I think now you have got it.
Anyhow thanks for the response, the representative of the earth's most complicated organism, the woman.

Dear Varalotti...smart sir,

Let me tell you right at the very beginning...I agree with what you say!
I agree....that you men are poor and ordinary.
I agree....that we women are the earth's most complicated organisms..thus making us extraordinary.

Touché Chitra and Meenu ;))

Dear varlotti,
the oppsite of simple is "complicated"
and not the opposite of "ordinary"
Regards,
Meenu

Smothered by such big names like Chitvish, Kamla and Meenu I have to just give up.
OK ladies agreed, women are the most complicated organisms. And men are ordinary simple organisms.
Ok Meenu, I accept the mistake.
Now this is the final conclusion:

Women are extraordinarily complicated
While Men are simply extraordinary.

I hear that God, who created men and women, fully agrees with this view.

The case is closed on this happy note.
sridhar

I still continue, Sridhar !

An ordinary woman simplifies complicated tasks.
Even an extraordinary man complicates simple tasks.

You cannot disagree !

Love & regards,
Chithra.
