U Know How It Is..??

This question freaks me out. How am I supposed to know how it is? Okay, so you had a bad day at office and to my question what went wrong, you reply, you know how it is. You have a top supervisor visiting your location, and you probably have to work your ass off. But I still don’t know how it is. Break up with your girlfriend, or probably the girl you like has umpteen boy friends, and in all probability she doesn’t give a damn for you. So am I supposed to know how is it?

I do nod in assurance and that probably makes you conclude that I am with you in what you feel and think. But I have no clue. I nod because I don’t know how to react to the question. I am sure you don’t expect a reply like, damn! I have absolutely no idea as to how is it, or hey! I am not going through it, and so don’t expect me to know how is it, or even better, hey!I think you deserve it.

Yes, there are times and events which I can relate too, and probably I can identify your feelings and thoughts. But that doesn’t imply I would be sympathetic. I have no idea as to how & why did you get into such situation. I have the picture you portray, and I would be foolish to accept it in entirety. For all I know, you deserved the outcome. And for all you know I myself would have been involved in some sinisterly secret way in the outcome.

But for all those who don’t get it, you know how it is……??
