A Felicitation For Misanthropy…



Healthy man of an ordinary tea estate labour family
Wealthy with all work of school sanitary
Invited me to his room and served with a plain tea [kahata with palm suger]
Courageous and inquisitive of my work and habits

Every now and then he enquires my know how
As he is a father of adult children of his role
He wants me to be happy and ordinary as he
My deeper sensitivity urged me to reply for his courtesy

A heavy raining dark evening at a private pub
I met him enjoying the life with some friends of his kin
Got up from the seat, astonished bowing head for me apologizing
May I be seated here Ramu.. I asked very with much kind

You sit here sir? this seat is for …
His typical friends enquring who this gent is?
I said no matter here or there as this pub is for us
Just to relax, drink and release as we pay as it is

I ordered same stuff for him and his friends too
But his friends quit learning my category mockingly
Well, now Ramu is drinking un militated
I smelt he is satisfying his tongue and sense with wine and peanuts

Fearing he is looking around tables
As he might be charged by that society
Is it applicable to him to drink with his masters?
I pacified and simplified for him to feel free in such circumstances

He bothers regarding the bill
I said no! and offered his three wheel fee
Further I invited him for a dinner from a local café
We had high flavored peper mutten broth with kotthu roti and ginger flavoured plain tea

He is now planning to go home with me
Thanking I refused as my mind urged that it would be beyond the horizon
Feeling sorry to make him unhappy
And support his thought still we are not in that category

However I am happy, thinking deeply
I repaid my gratitude and he is for my attitude
Humanly we are same lineage but categorically
Diffentiated sociologically? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? is a serious plot for my mind…



Plot: HR participatory observation research implemented on 31st December at a local pub in Welimada city Srilanka.
