There
would be no point in pointing your efforts to make a point if there was no
point at all in the first place. That is how important point is in our dealings
and correctly pointing to the point. But
then we can’t get our point across if we are unable to make our point clearly. Then
in case we fail to put forth our point pointedly, there is absolutely no point
in pointing the finger at somebody else for the failure. It is imperative we
know our point and present our point of view so as to bring it into sharp focus
for acceptance.
We
get exasperated when somebody does not see our point even when we present it
clearly. In such an event we have to present our point from a different
perspective. The point is that it is not
the other person’s fault that he does not see your point. Your pointing has to
be focused on the point.
Then
people like Karan Thapar often ask pointed questions – like the one he did not
ask JJ “When will you be visiting Bangalore next (for the next hearing of your case in regard to disproportionate assets)?
Pointed questions are best a form of cowardice where the asker is timid enough
and does not have the spunk (or whatever depending on who you are) to ask a
direct question. Here is one case when the pointed query is not directly
pointed at where you want it to point, yet is known as a pointed question. Ha! A
bit confusing is it? Nay, I am sure you are smart enough to get the point.
Sometimes
people get into pointless arguments. Like what happened in the Loksabha
yesterday in regard to the cartoon. The point was about the cartoon and all
present being cartoons in real life, they probably thought it was about them. That
was a pointless thought anyway as the elite gathering was largely behaving like
pointy jokers. Anyway, anything that has happened in the Loksabha in the last
decade is pointless banter. But yesterday the bickering on the cartoon issue took
the pointless debate beyond the pointless.
Some
people come to the point directly while others dither and lose their way and
are unable to get to the point. Some of you may wonder “what is the point in
all this pointed writing”. That is the catch as at times you can make a point even
without a point.
