I am sorry

The five lettered word "S-O-R-R-Y" literally means you are apologizing for a mistake that u have knowingly or unknowingly done. But it is more easy to say than "Mujhe maaf kar do" .

We say sorry even when we do not accept the fault to be ours. As its so small and simple a word.

When I assign a few task to my subordinates and they return doing half of it , they respond like "Oh I am so sorry I didnt understand the requirement clearly" and then get busy with their mobile phones surfing the social media and posting updates like "tired with too much work pressure". Their sorry made me work an extra hour correcting the things they have left.

A couple of months back we went out for a picnic where the manager of the garden-house which we rented, made some deliberate changes to the food menu and on confronting he made a sad face and said sorry. The sorry made us suffer as we could not eat maximum of the menu items.

That day at a public bus I saw a girl pushing an old lady and afterwards left with just a sorry. Her sorry was not enough for the lady as she felt the pain.

A friend of mine told me how deeply she was hurt when her boyfriend broke up with her without any reason and just saying sorry for the action.

Another friend got her marriage cancelled just because the groom has changed his mind at the last moment and left her with only "sorry" .

Day in and day out we continue to hurt people and get away with a simple "sorry" . Isnt it the best way to escape your wrongdoings?

In the film "Zibdage na Milegi Dobara" Hrithik Roshan told Farhan Akhtar "Jab dil se sorry bologe tab main tumhe maaf karunga". Yes the meaning gets fulfilled only when said from the core of your heart. When you are truly apologetic by your behavior no matter how small or big it is.
