Being calm!

The loud crass girl finally fell prey to being calm. It had to happen. Else the burnout. Which doesn't mean I don't hassle at moments but yes being calm has helped me get back to things I took for granted. Sitting on my little stool which barely manages my weight I was getting my hair oiled. The champi! Years earlier my gran did it regularly for me! Thanks to my Malayali genes I am endowed with super curly hair! Which is pretty for everyone else but takes a lot of maintenance! Gran took some homemade oil and gently detangling my hair applied the same. Generally I used to get agitated at each tangle but this time around I was calm. Not only today but yes for over a week. It helps when you have someone asking you regularly to calm down by being all ears. Surrounded by more greenery and less noise has done its deal! This generation believes in quick response! Thanks to the vivid apps, everything happens within a given time. However I ask what's the hurry. I suppose that's why there was no depression in the earlier generation! They never hurried through things! They had no deadlines to meet. No major targets to achieve! They were humans! They made things work at their own time and pace! They caught up with people in the bank, grocery market and made some pleasant and sweet exchanges which they still cherish. Probably taking things a bit slow helps in every sphere be it work, driving, relationships and the like! Thanks for the eye opening remark you made the day when some sense prevailed RGV! I wish there are more such besties like you in everyones circle who reads this! God bless!

New year ... A new page !

Happy New Year to all! I hope this year brings in loads of happiness, success,wisdom and good health! Romance not too far behind ! Let's start looking at people unbiased ! I chanced upon this article where the editor mentioned that a number of South Indians didn't really get the gist of Mr Modi's speech! The underlying fact being it was in shudddddh Hindi! I thought the addressal was crisp and clear and being a southie myself I understood each and every word that was uttered ! Why are southies considered not so high in the Hindi language scale. When South Indian languages are the closest to Sanskrit, making it easier for them to understand. Why not embrace this language which also happens to be our National language ! Why do we shy off when we are asked to speak in Hindi. Maybe we need to understand that speaking in Hindi doesn't make us sound " vernacular" or behenji. India being a diverse country with number of languages spoken we must be proud of each and every one of them. There is beauty in each. After all it is rightly said "A different language is a different vision to life".
