I walked down the building steps just to be confronted by a heating argument between two women. “How dare you throw that dirty water from your floor? Couldn’t you have warned us before doing that?” Said the huge lady with a red-angry face. “What do you mean? I did come to tell about it but what could I do if you never responded to the door-bell of yours?” answered the other lady with equal aggression in her eyes. “You think you are very smart, huh?”, “Yes, I am! What will you do?, “ Mind your bloody tongue, you @$#%”, “Shut up you *^%$#@^"...the virtual war went on. I slid silently from there, not knowing whether to laugh aloud or sigh at this childish behavior. 
As I was crossing the road I noticed that a crowd had gathered nearby. Falling prey to my overflowing curiosity, I peeped in to watch the scenario. Two men were having a nice wrestling match, or maybe a ‘who-breaks-who’s-teeth-first’ competition! Nearby were two dented cars and broken glass pieces accompanied by the heavy spells of slang language in the back-groun d. It was becoming clear, what exactly might have happened. Even when I wanted to stay there and watch the interesting, sensational ‘breaking’ news, I had to carry on as I knew that if I wouldn’t, I would have to take a shower under the insults in my college!
During the History lecture, our professor taught us about the Mughal era. He went on to the socio-religious life during that period. “There were major conflicts between the Hindus and the Muslims due to their contrast way of living and unique culture…” I wondered, how foolish people could be to fight in the name of God!? You have so many other weird reasons and topics to quarrel on! At least leave Him alone!
The personified strife seemed to follow me where ever I went. While returning back home, I was again sand-witched between a group of ‘desperate to fight’ women in the train. Poor me!
I reached home and with a hope to get away from this ever-arguing world I switched on the TV. And lo! Mr. Argument had even entered the idiot-box! The conflict in between the saas and bahu, given encouragement by the spices added by the sister-in-law! Enough is enough! I need a break!
I thought about all this for a while and landed to a conclusion that, strife enters those places where he notices lack of adjustment. Today people want to obtain things easily. They have forgotten what patience is and the word adjustment does not exist in their dictionary. To add to this, entire people do not want to accept their mistakes! They do not realize that by doing this, they are doing nothing but inflating their dear egos!
I think taking life coolly, is the only way we can kick Mr. Strife out of our lives! What say people?
