SHOW MUST GO ON

SHOW MUST GO ON

This is the story about the struggle in routine life. Here, I am trying to tell you the story of Mr. Gopal. Gopal had tried many times for government jobs, but he was not succeeding. One day he decided that now he will not apply for any Government job and will try a private job only. Even in the private sector, he did not get the job of his choice. One day he got a call letter for a bank job, for which he had applied before six months.


Now he decided that this will be his last try for the Government job. On exam day he went to the exam centre and gave his best, but he knew very well that he would not qualify for the interview and he was again very upset. When he was going back home, he came to know that there is a seashore nearby and he decided to visit there. When he went to the seashore, he got frustrated due to the hot climate and felt that, why he has come here that also at 1.30pm. He turned back towards his bus stop. While he was reaching the bus stop, the bus was going from the bus stop, he tried to catch the bus, but he missed the bus.

There was no roof at the bus stop so he decided to wait near one of the shops. He knew that now the next bus will not come before 40-45 minutes. He kept walking on the road and he saw two boys playing chess, and they were taking 5-6 minutes for each and every chess move. Mr. Gopal thought it must be an interesting game. It is better to go and watch till the bus comes. And he went near them and watched the game from some distance so they would not get disturbed. After 2-3 minutes, Mr Gopal was shocked, because, both the kings were missing from the chess board. He thought to ask them about the kings, but he didn't because he felt it is better to stay away from the game. One boy was looking happy so Mr. Gopal decided to ask him about the kings and finally he asked, and he got a reply from the other boy that “vo to kab ke mar gaye he” means kings were dead at the beginning of the game.


After hearing the answer, Mr. Gopal could not control his laugh and kept laughing and he felt relaxed after a very long time. At the same time the bus arrived and he got the bus and realised that whatever situation is there the “SHOW MUST GO ON”. Everything depends on us, how to see the situation and how to tackle it. And then he decided to start his own business rather than running behind the Government jobs. Now he is enjoying his business and life on the formula given by the boys.

We should always think about the solution rather than keep thinking about the problems.
