A very hilarious incident happened yesterday, coming out of the wash-room.

I happen to see a colleague.Well! A ‘colleague’ here means, a person whom I have met once and I am familiar with the face.

As a normal greeting, I greeted him saying ‘Hi!’, and he returned a‘Hello!’

I generally do this, because this is the least you can do when it comes to greeting somebody. That too when you are walking and not thinking of stopping by and asking any further questions.

But, he didn't stop there and ask, “How are you?” By the time I turned to reply, “I am fine”, he has already moved on in his direction.

It was an awkward and  hilarious situation.

We all will admit that most of us  have come across such people in our daily life.

But, my query is, what are we supposed to do in this situation?

Should, we just walk on too without replying because he/she is not anyways interested? Or

Should, we reply irrespective of anything?

 I guess we need some solutions here:

1.  Don’t say ‘Hi’ in your response. Straight away ask, ‘how are you’? This will automatically put the ball in their court. Now the’I-am-fine’ headache is their.

2.Just smile, this is the fastest response you can give at that particular time.

3.Just don’t reply. Isn't it common sense? I am alive, which means I am fine.

4.Just stop, ask them to stop, and make them hear a ‘I am Fine’, so that next time, they don’t dare ask you such a silly thing.

These are my suggestions to people suffering from the“I am not given enough time to say I am fine” syndrome.

Please pour in your suggestions or at least send this to those who do this to you!!!
