Need, Want and Desire- Tale of a Boy

Kalu and Ramu   – How they Met

Back in year Y2K,

Kalu, belongs to Brahmin family, just passed out from class 8th and preparing for entrance exam for getting admission in class 9th in a reputed collage of his city .

He was under pressure to get admission in a collage where his two elder brother have studied, but he just couldn’t make it by 2 marks.

So as usual, what we do to get admission, Try Jugad, so that’s what his father tried but he also could not make it. Than it comes to adjustment and he had to settle with GIC (It’s a Govt collage). Everyone fits in there :) 

The collage has huge campus with large no of students, with 6 to 8 sections for single class (A to H) and add on to this, it was running in two shifts (Morning & Evening).

Now you know how he got the admission in GIC :)  as this collage is for Aam Aadmi and everyone can get chance to study.

Here Comes Ramu, a Punjabi Munda , 6 feet tall , with specs on and slim like as he never gets food !! He was just living on air & water I guess.  

By the way not sure why he did not go for the top rated school, bcz he was such a brilliant lad. Anyway both met in School and their   residence was close so they become good friend.

Ramu was studious as always and Kalu was trying hard to be studious, and why not, his Father was after him :)   so he had to try, no option.

His father was pushing him to get in Merit List in class 10th, and class 9th session was just getting started, so you can imagine the level of pressure.......

The Bull Fight changed the whole plan

So, class 9 section B starts. Science / Maths / Geography /Sanskrit, one by one subjects were keep coming.

But Kalu was focusing on English, even though he was weak in this subject, still he focused on it…

Any guesses why...

There was a Scholarship (vajeepha) scheme for class 9th students, whosoever highest score in final exams in English.

Amount was Rupees 1200. First thing clicked in Kalu’s Mind that if he get those 1200 Rupees, he will have Pizza first along with Ramu , which he told Ramu also .

 It was  a pact now between Ramu and Kalu that Pizza will be priority whosoever get the Vajeepha and also ensuring that no one else gets it ;)

That was his Want :) , step ahead of needs

After lot of hard work with Pizza in Mind & Heart, Kalu actually got it.

Yes, nobody believed it, but Kalu got the vajeepha, he scored 91 out of 100 in English and that was highest.

So, Now Ramu and Kalu bunk the classes as soon as they get the money (Kalu got only Rupees 200 from his Father as cheque was handed over to Guardian and  Kalu was not 18 + that time)   

Both started Pedaling fast their Hero cycles to reach Pizza shop, suddenly they applied the breaks as they saw two Bulls close to Pizza Shop.

There was Sanitaryware and bathroom fittings shop also nearby where they have   stopped.

The commode pieces was showcased inform the shops in the vacant area. Kalu was in funny mood so he pinged the Owner of  Sanitaryware Shop

Kalu – Bhiya , keep these pieces into the shops, Bulls can do shit in it …

Owner - You better take care of yourself , you idiot !!

Ramu – Let it be Kalu, we are rich people now. We will have Pizza and this Bhaiya will have Pani puri ;)

Owner-  Kids, better you go away now

Kalu – Bhaiya , have you ever had pizza ;) ha ha ha 

Meanwhile, bulls started fighting and in no time they destroyed the commode pieces placed infront of shop  and Ramu & Kalu had to run from there to save their life .

They hide themselves behind a wall . They saw commode pieces being destroyed in pieces and their HERO CYCLES too :)

The destruction by bulls lasted around 30 minutes and then things got under control but by than the HERO CYCLES were in no condition to pedal.

Ramu and Kalu were Sad, very Sad, Bcz now they had to go for cycle repair instead of having Pizza

So what basically is the point is that Repairing of Cycle become a need as they have to go 

to school every day and want of Pizza became secondary state.

Want/Desire is your Emotional satisfaction, which is ok to have in human nature but need is the first step to fulfill.

Needs are the elementary requirements and that Ramu & Kalu understood, because for them going school is absolute necessary and Pizza can come later.

These things we understand by experience and Clarity on NEED, WANT & DESIRE is absolute necessary.

Ending with a copied thought

You can count on the Universe to always deliver what you need, but understand what you need will not always be what you want

Stay Safe
