Two 21 winds

It happened at last. The wind made its way into my room shattering the glass panels. I used many devices as I grew up to keep it out of my room and every time it had come knocking, begging to be let inside, I flatly refused it.

Every man has his room and so would I. It screeched, howled and spoke at lengths to me. But I persisted, every man has his own persistence and so did I.

We ended up speaking so much with each other, that I started looking forward to meet it. I would wait for it to knock and bang on my windows. As one eager child waiting for his Dad to get back home from work, I would leave every thing which I might be involved in, and would rush to the window to hear it speak.

At last it managed to convince me. To my credit, it took two winds to convince me. And they were not just any winds, they were the catch 21 winds (in a catch 22, one has two options, while in a catch 21 situation, (which is as you would have already noted, one less than 22) one has to choose just one option).

These two winds teamed up and convinced me at last that I should let them in so that they could explain everything to me. I had always been very curious and I really wanted to know. So I did let them in.

It was then that I realized that I had never asked them any question. What then would they explain to me? Well, it was too late, I had already decided to let them in. They broke the glass panes and came in.

I waited for them to settle down. They finally did settle down but did not speak anything.

Well..I said, so what is it?

"The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, The answer is blowing in the wind" they said.
