The characters in this story are fictitious and resemblance to anyone alive or dead is not at my obligation. :D
Scene1: Story begins with A making Jamun one evening. Distributes it among a few of many friends - B, C, D and E. B, C, D and E were chosen such that the commute distance, quantity/quality and late night home visit being okay. Though, A missed out on a few close F, G and H, that was not the intention.
Distribution and visits went fine. Jamun and the effort appreciated by them all. A thanked them and end of story (wish).
Had it been end of story, probably would not have made it into a blog.
Scene2: The following day, E has a few good words about Jamun at lunch and the lunch group were kind enough, but no further discussion. Good to be a low profile.
Scene3: B and C meet A at coffee. F being present, A would have not expected a Jamun discussion. Suddenly, there is all appreciation of Jamun and the bad part of it going into the ears of F. Though F looked to have taken the whole Jamun incidence at ease, B and C (in all "fun") hinted and pointed and poked of it to F. There was nothing stopping A to disagree and F looked a little triggered and infuriated.
Later, D walks by and no discussion. A at this point doesn't know if Jamun has been "tasted" by G and H already.
Scene4 (in A's mind): D was best; Scene1 was truly end of it. E was good; nothing to bother. B and C though had no bad motive probably missed something very basic! A feels sorry for F, G and H. A definitely owes them.
So, the Jamun happiness turned to a frustration at A's end and hopefully F would have forgiven and forgotten.
Moral of the story: To please everyone, learn to give caveats or do not miss anyone. ;)
