The war

Relationships with people are like words with multiple meanings. They both confuse me.

Did you know that Mahabharata did not begin over Draupadi's laughter...  It actually began over a cup of tea... and as it lasted for years of the armies of Kauravas and Pandavas throwing stones and spears at each other one fine day the poor innocent cup of tea felt so humiliated that it decided to run to the kitchen and pour itself out to the sink.
It felt that it lost all its taste.

The news of this tragedy spread beyond the fires of Janamejaya's sacrificial altar and reached the Monkey kingdom as well, so that from that day onwards the inhabitants of the lands of Kishkindha no longer drank the poisonous tea brewed by the repulsive men-eating mantis and decided to proclaim water as their national drink.

And relationships with people? They died suffocated under the ruins of the twin towers destroyed by the multiple attacks of the terrorist group that called itself  'lack of empathy and understanding'.
