Letting Things Go
Sanskaar was sitting before his laptop in his study, sipping on his coffee. Normally he likes it black with only two sugars in it but apparently he had forgotten to tell Swara when he had requested her to make him a cup.
Not that he minded of course.
It came out tasting good but unfortunately he couldn't pay much attention to it as his entire attention was being captured by the business proposal that he was sent. It would undoubtedly create a lot of profit for the company but the ethical standards in carrying out the operations were a bit ambiguous. There were a lot of areas that were purposely left vague. If he had agreed to it now and something untoward would happen in the future, it will be his company that will take the fall. He had thought of declining it right away and looking at another proposal but he also couldn't help but wonder if he could make it any better. Perhaps tweak a few numbers here and there. Ask them to be a bit more specific in regards to the resources that they required.
With his eyes still glued to the screen, Sanskaar was reaching out his hand holding the mug to place on the table. As he was not able to see where the edge of the table was in his periphery vision, he was about to let go, when Swara held onto it, preventing the mug from falling.
"Sanskaar, dhyaan kaha hai tumhara?" Lightly scolding him, she placed the mug further onto the table.
"Proposal." He answered, taking a deep sigh.
Swara shook her head and looked at the proposal over his shoulder. She didn't know much about business management but she had taken one or two courses during her college days. From what she could remember she was able to determine that the company that had sent the proposal was amateur at best. The document was abstract in nature and did not fulfill the requirements that are needed in order to maintain a trust between two companies.
"Why are you still reading this?" Swara asked, annoyed that Sanskaar was wasting his precious time on something trivial as this. "You know it's not going to benefit us in any way. Scrap it."
With a click of a button Swara closed the document. With the slump of Sanskaar's shoulders, she knew his needless worries and frustrations were gone too.
"Wanna tell me why you were so engrossed with that proposal?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest.
"Well..." Sanskaar began but couldn't seem to recall why he had spent so much time on that document.
With a soft smile she ran her fingers through his hair. "You need to learn how to let some things go. You can't make everything better. Especially if they're not good enough to begin with."
Undoubtedly her words had sent Sanskaar into another bout of deep thinking.
Kissing the top of his head, Swara spoke, "Come on. Let's go to sleep now. It's getting quite late."
Ruffling his hair one last time, Swara left the study.
