Socrates and Plato are both in a pensive mood.
Plato is pensive because of the bad dealing he got from the HR babe.
Socrates is pensive because that is his nature.
Socrates: Well, priorities are what matter in the end of it all.
Plato (shaken up from his thoughts): But, does listening to music have a higher priority than having a conversation?
Socrates: Hmmmm.
Plato (continuing): And does a party have a higher priority than a conversation?
Socrates: Of course! They both are of a way too higher a priority than you can even think of.
Plato: Okay.
Plato is back to his joyous self.
Socrates continues to be his pensive self.
Socrates: It all depends on how one defines priority.
Plato (sensing that this is not going to be easy): Well, how does one define it?
Socrates: Normally, one would say priority is the status that one assigns to an event with respect to its urgency.
Plato: Yeah, I guess so.
Socrates: Therefore, the definition of priority hangs on what you consider as urgent. Which brings us to the definition of urgency. Urgency, for any one, depends very much on the current situation or the current frame of mind. In your current frame of mind, if you believe listening to music as more urgent (lest you might miss out on some musical piece) than making a conversation, you would reach the conclusion that listening to music is of a higher priority than making a conversation.
Plato (chewing some gum now and looking at the babes coming out from the BPO section): Yeah, I know exactly what urgency is now.
Life, for these two, resumes its journey through the endless turns that its path comes up with.

Socrates is in pensive mood because his wife and four children are giving him a hard time.They want him to work and earn money. But Socrates just want to deliver speeches from the townsquare.Unfortunatly it was not the election time yet.
Plato knows that life moves on and dudes like Socrates would always ramble.Comparing himself to Socrates he sees that he should be positively happy.
A conversation between the real socrates and plato which gave dhi only one license to fill
socrates: "whos this dude called dhi only..whos filling words into our mouths"
plato:"he is dhi most powerful one master. parts of his name are a part of even dhi most mundane of sentences"
socrates:"what bunkum. tighten up your robe my student. we live our lives in the pursuit of the truth through intellect. don't humor me with these utterances"
plato:(saale ko samjhaana padega)"master, which month is this?"
socrates:"dhi manth is dhi manth of december"(stops and exclaims)"Oh!!"
socrates:"you were right platy, dhis is profound. dhi manth is dhi man for sure"
plato:(ab aaya oonth pahad ke neeche)
and dhi only one continued...
abiasforaction>> That's too serious for Socrates and Plato :-)
For the record, this Socrates and Plato are unmarried :-)
sriniatthemovies>> Should re-iterate my disclaimer. The Socrates and Plato on my blogs are fictional characters. They bear no resemblance with the original Greek philosophers (except in the names). Additionally, anything ascribed to these two characters on this blog are my views only and definitely not the views of the famous Greek philosophers. Phew!
:-) Dhi Only One too is not to be held responsible for all these thoughts. In fact, the only thing to be held responsible is the internet. Jai ho.
chill dhi only one :-)
sriniatthemovies>> I am chilled. But I am also quite paranoid about internet regulators who might hold this against me. Hence, disclaimers are necessary. ;-)
