"Brother, is that your real nail ?" one random girl with extra white
teeth asked me when I was waiting for the bus for office. Why did she
called me brother ? Are there no any relations which can be used in
order to address a stranger ?
"Yes…" I replied just a single word with a fake smile. I was being rude to her. Did she sense my rudeness ? I doubt.
"How old is your nail ?" she asked again.
Why was she after the age of my nail ? Lets say its 4 years. What would you do ? Enroll my nail in Montessori ? Huh ?
"I
haven't trimmed it since the Earthquake." I wasn't interested to talk
with her but still I replied with the fakest smile that any homo sapiens
can generate. Why to be rude with strangers ?
"Why
are you growing this nail ? Are you going to be Guniness Book's record
holder ?" she asked showing all teeths, those extra-white teeths. I
could sense sarcasm there. I've faced this type of questions millions of
times. (Not millions actually but thousands )
"My
bus is here." I lied her and climbed a bus of Ring Road although I was
supposed to go Bhaktapur. I had no interest to talk with her.
Why am I growing the nail ? Why ? Some whys are not answerable dear. I am growing my nail because I wanted to. Simple.
One day I will loose the interest in my nail then I will trim them. Why are you searching for a logic in it ?

"Why
do you always wear black dress ?" a new intern in my office asked.
Because, I don't have any other clothes dear. I do have only black
coloured clothes as of now. What to do in that situation.
"Its
because I do have fair complexion and black colour makes a nice
contrast." I replied very illogical answer. Did she believe that ? I
guess so.
Why do I always
wear black clothes ? Why ? Some whys are not answerable. One fine day I
was visiting a cloth-store, the shopkeeper sold me a black shirt. I
wore that. While looking at the mirror I suddenly decided that I'll wear
only black clothes from today. Simple. Why to share these things to
other people ? There is no point in it.

"Why
do you want to study BBA ?" this was the first question that I faced
during my interview for studying BBA. A wrinkled face teacher with grey
hair asked this question without making eye contact to me. He was
writing something in paper. I could clearly sense that this question was
asked to every students although the interviewer has no interest in the
answer.
"Because I want
to be an Entrepreneur." I replied. Haha, that was a pure lie. I never
thought of studying BBA in order to be an entrepreneur. I couldn't find
any other course, so I studied BBA. Why ?

In our life, we do face lots of whys. Why do you need this ? Why did you do this ? Why this ? Why that ? Why ? Why Why ?
The
word 'why' needs a reason, a logic. We don't have logic for everything.
Some whys are not answerable. What would you reply if your partner says
Why do you love me ? What would your mother reply if you ask her why
did you give birth to me ?
