The unprecented Race !

dear blog

today, i was a part of a peculiar, unprecedented race! It was a race in which everybody had willingly participated, but no one wanted to win.

it was a race where there was no finish line, no time limit. it was a race in which the one who lost would be the happiest person on the earth. there was indeed a victory in losing, more so in seeing the other person win!

in the race, everybody tried to move the slowest. for this, they employed various techniques. one such technique was to convince the judges that the other person was running faster! another one was simply to threaten the judges to altogther not participate in the run than to be the winner. the judges desperately wanted to see a winner. when they saw each runner one by one passing by them and still not ready to lead the pack, the chief jury member could be seen banging his head in frustation. what a weird race it was!

here, the 'fastest runner off the field' was not convinced enough that he can lead the other runners. the more the jury tried to convince him, the more distant he projected himself to be from the goal.

another candidate, who had sacrificed his precious prime time to be in the race, too was reluctant to emerge as the winner. he too wanted only to participate and not to win!

however, there were two 'front-runners'. they certainly had an edge over the others in the minds of the jury.but, it was a race where each of the 'front-runners' had so much respect for the other that he could not get past the other. each wanted to see the other as the winner.

even after a long time, the judges were in a strange dilema. the results were fuzzy. all were ready to be equal but not above someone else.

it was truly an utopian dream...
