Losing to Win

Wedensday was a holiday. As planned myself, Sunil, Manoj, Anup, Bindu, Vikas, Praggya and Baby along with the kids trooped down to COEX on a cold windy afternoon. The destination was the casino. The men were taking this seriously and in their minds and had decided their own budgets. The ladies I guess though were somewhat interested, but were more giving into the whims of the stupid men.

As each individual sat down in front of their respective machines, the conflict between Devil and God just started. The glee on the faces on a win while the circumspect face on a loss situation was there for anybody to see. The hope that the loss would be made up in the next deal kept kicking the player to carry on and on. Why can't I do it when that lady on the slot machine behind me is listening to the sweet music of coins being churned out of the machine. On the other hand thats exactly the emotion on the basis of which the casino owner is laughing all his way to the bank. How do I suck these suckers!!

Our women came up to the tables and machines for some time to experience the fun and I sensed the relief when they lost and then won to be even. That was the end, They had other things to worry about and I am not complaining.

Now coming back to the men, the Devil did take over for some time and while I write this in the Internet Corner, they are still at it.

I came here to lose and thats where I won. My pleasure was kind of different but thats entirely my opinion. If you have a different one, go ahead and reflect and keep it with you and at the end of it do enjoy the feeling.

I lose on different occasions. And each time I win!!!!!! What about you?

And if you are still thinking about the casino - I have lost you.

Or won? Sphere: Related Content
