Le decisioni confuse

Bhaiya, Show me that dress please. No, not that one. Bhaiya, the one which is hanging on the second upper line and is placed third last, just beside the red dress. Yes, yes that one. Nooo, it isn't that great. Bhaiya, please show that one which is on the extreme right there. Yea, that one. Nooo, the material is lucid, I won't wear that. Bhaiya, that green T. Nooo, I don't like this either. Let's go to the next shop(without looking behind at the bhaiya, bhaiya is sad and trying to convince the ladies at the same time about other available options)

This is a common scenario which you will get to see in any Indian cloth market. The panache with which these ladies enter the shop and leave without buying is incredibly smart and disgusting at the same. It is difficult to stand these women, honestly. Dude, you waste so much time of yours and those men/women selling it. Okay, before one jumps to conclusion that choice is important and selection should be unique and stuff. Even I do that. But I don't go harassing those men to let down all that items of theirs on the selling table(so I call it) and leave it all scattered inside the shop(I don't expect them to help them fold it and all). Now, why the hell am I defending myself? *protruding eyes and then rolls* Well, my point was, Decisions! Is it really difficult to make up a decision?

Decision-making was never an impediment for me. Since we are talking about clothes, my sister is one confused soul. She likes everything and anything in a boutique. Generally I accompany her to these places and as always, there will be numerous choices she comes up with and I would be like this one, hands down and done and we are zooooom out of that place. That quick! This is not restricted to clothes and non-living things as such. I always knew what to decide on if given a choice. Lately, or maybe in intervals for few years now, this hasn't been the case. I blame hormones a bit. But I have my brains which I think is immune-free of this drama.

Decision-making is a great deal. So says the behavioral training in a corporate environment and also at home in more spiritual familial way. It is an Art, sure, tell me about it! If Decision making is an art, my dosas always almost being in doordarshan-shape is also is. Incomparable, but true. Ghanta, Decision-making is not easy especially if it is affecting your brain and soul ethically in multiple ways. World call it ethical dilemma, we call it Lag gayi hai yaar. Ethical dilemma is a known phenomena and I will not do justice if it is defined in an inappropriate way. Google :-). Most of the time, if one faces such issues, that person sinks in depression for a while, maybe a virtual one but he/she does. And when he/she comes out of it, the joy can be seen in their eyes fluttering like those lovely butterflies. Well, it is not always true, dilemma-escape sounds normal, but ethical dilemma isn't. The guilt remains, whatever you do. I have dealt with such kind dilemmas many a times, and as I remember it, I have always gotten a middle way out. Everyone is happy.

Lesson: Decision-making is certainly not easy all the time or most of the times. But if you find it difficult, look at the circumstances, list down pros and cons if you want to and then go ahead *Yes. The Gyan* Works in any situation, trust me!
