Oye-Bubbly!!


Wow... Bubble-Wrap--the plastic covers with those small blister like protrusions are a delight in themselves… God knows how many hours all of us have spent bursting those small little bubbles… guess its something no one can deny …irrespective of your age it is a perfect pastime from which immeasurable pleasure is derived… There are simply innumerable moments of joy when I’ve fought for a small piece of bubble-wrap from anyone…and then when you decide for a small portion and then start bursting…ahh… bliss!!!
It was simply awesome when we bought some big thing and guess what it was fully covered in bubble-wrap!!! Wow … fights which used to break out whenever that material makes its entry were not found as everyone had more than what we could even imagine to ask for!! But then the newfound pleasure started dying out as it started getting monotonous and we had all the freedom break as much and still have loads more left… after a few days you bet our fun had died and then it was just hoarded up somewhere totally forgotten…
Many weeks later when we got a small gift (something like a small show-piece) and guess what fights broke out again… no prizes for guessing it was covered in our long-forgotten love ‘Bubble-wrap’!!!
Its right when people say excess of anything can kind of have the opposite effect…
This is something that made me realize that great things do come in small packages and it’s the packaging (at least in my case) the most important one!!!;)
