A Stranger Does the Best….

A Stranger Does the Best….

We commonly believe that a person can do a job best in which he is adept. We also confirm this concept blindly that a person who is stranger to some task, cannot even think of doing that. That is why, it is said:

“jis ka kaam usi ko saajhay, or karay to theenga baajay”

“Every one to his trade”

I personally suggest that we cannot stamp this maxim.

Sometimes, it happens, we commit such an act which may be understandable for others but not for us. Such types of acts are unintentional but accurate. And this accuracy does not need any expertness. Suppose we are sitting idly and throw a coin on the ground. It shows neither heads nor tails. Rather it stands still on the ground. Interestingly, that coin cannot be stood still afterwards even with a conscious effort. Another example leading to the justification of the caption is that sometimes we try to paint something and luckily we do the best. Others think that we are quite expert in painting but we know inwardly that we are not.

An expert can do a work, the way it should be done is correct. But a stranger cannot even touch a work which he has not done before is not a right idea as far as my thinking is concerned. I once flew a kite somehow in my childhood and believe me! I did not know the A.B.C of kite flying. But I snapped the string of my neighbor’s kite who was considered a kite-flier in the area. And when I was doing Masters in English, my friends at university planned to arrange a one-dish party and I was supposed to bring Chicken Karahi. For, I was living in a hostel, that is why, I had to do it myself. I asked about the recipe of chicken karahi from my mother on phone but could not get anything. But the task was assigned and I had to do that being a stranger to it. Anyhow, I did that, brought it to my friends and surprisingly they still say, “FRAAZ! That was not your effort, you brought it from some restaurant”.

So, being an alien to something does not mean that we cannot do that. Everything needs an initiative and once we initiate, we get used to it afterwards. In bottom words, never think that being a stranger you cannot perform a particular task because sometimes “ A Stranger Does the Best”
