Finally, after so many days in San Diego, on saturday we visited Sea world. Dont worry, I will not bore you guys with the "yada yada...." of the sea world. That info can be found on the web.
As expected the parking lot was full, so we wasted a gallon of gas finding the parking spot and in the end an old gentleman directed us to the additional parking space. I was so relieved to find the parking space that I forgot to thank the old man and just drove pass him. After we had traveled for 50 ft, Viju ( My beautiful wife :) ) rolled down the window and shouted "thanks" to the old man. The old man waved and smiled at us. If it was a master card ad ..it would say " Sea World tickets 100$, parking ticket 12$, but acknowledging the one who helps you, PRICELESS". This resulted in a flashback ( as a typical movie would show ....wavy screen leading to the past).
As a 22 year old desi dudes, myself and my friends traveled to the land of green money. On the flight, one of my friends went back to the pantry and asked the air hostess for water. The air hostess with a nice smile said "whatz the magic word". My friend was about to say "abracadabra, a typical magician word" but just stood staring at her with a blank face. The air hostess smiled and said "its, PLEASE". A lesson well learnt. From that day onwards we never forgot that word. Especially when we wanted our work done, that was indeed the magic word.
When I was a kid, I used to see this Advertisement on the TV which would show a boyfriend "pataso-fy" ( this is how kenny, my good friend would say) his girlfriend by giving her an Archies card and bunch of roses. Seeing at that I would say, such a waste of money, he could have done better things with that money. But as the years have passed by, I have realized that 4$ card and 3$ box of Lindt chocs can bring a smile on the face of your loved ones, which is priceless ( Damm!! this master card Ad has gotten into my head). So the bottom line is, when we mess up it is better to apologies in the nicest and the simplest way possible.
So the moral of the story: The three magical words for sound sleep and good health " Please, Thank you and Sorry" :)
