Hmmm funny...isn't it?

My articles are quite a drag, yea? I mean I should stop with the inspirational touch and probably attempt writing something humorous. That comes as a suggestion to me by another aspiring writer. So having given this a bit of thought – I’m going to give it a try and see if it’s possible. Hmmm, now what do I write about? This could take quite a while, I don’t seem to go good with humour, come backs, one liner jokes etc. So, I reckon I shall conclude this once again with a straight forward NO!Anyway, leaving that aside for now - I’ve been observing certain events the past few days and noticed how their outcomes seem rather peculiar considering how we assumed they would initially turn out to be.I will start by citing a case of how we look up to certain individuals in our lives. This person may be a public figure or someone we know personally. We may truly be in awe by what this person does, how they handle certain issues, their speeches, emails, authority, power – be it whatever. However, one small but drastic decision or action by them can change the entire appeal of what one feels. Someone who caught my eye with his intelligence & authority as a perfect role model is now a no body due to his wrong judgment and decision. Isn’t it funny how you admire someone so much but they turn out to be a person you now despise?Similarly, we meet that person we can’t stand to be around with in our office, school or college. The word on the street is that he/she is stuck-up & snobbish! People spread rumours about them and you join in for fun. However, on an accidental run at the coffee shop, you bump in to each other and start chatting. You soon discover his/her need for friendship and longs to end his/her loneliness .All you needed to be was a friend – someone to talk with, laugh with and smile as you pass each other through the corridors. That one meet at the coffee shop changed everything. It’s been a couple of years now and you are still the closest of friends despite the distance. Isn’t it funny how some of your dearest friends are those you didn’t wanna be associated with?I could go on to quote many more cases, but these are just two instances of what I thought have been strangely odd for me in the recent past. I’m a hundred percent sure – you all have had similar cases in your own lives where not simply strange – but strangely funny outcomes have been the result of certain doings. You and I both don’t know why our paths intersect that way but I’m sure Our father up there knows what he’s doing.Isn’t it funny how my friend initiated me to start writing a so called *funny* article – but it never got to being funny? No it isn’t – because the fact still remains that – “Ginelle does not do funny articles – a complete NO NO for her!”
I challenge you to walk down memory lane and think of those ironic outcomes and those never expected endings. You’d be surprised!
