This blog isn't about a special story, or a incident, or something to impress everyone. So don't try to juice ur brain to find one :)

An-other (its just not another)morning with archanai ( slang for scolding) from mom for not locking the front door properly in the night. Being the last one to sleep I usually do that without forgetting, but u never know when you will miss.

"Sorry mom , I forgot . I wont do it again "." You forgot to pay the telephone bill as well"..But She isn't stopping at all .Its slowly turning into Laksha archani (a lakh scolding). " Mom I am hungry" this is the trick I always do when things go out of control. " Just brush up and come I have dosa ready for you " ( It works like a miracle , well always !)

One time, My dad checked in the midst of the night whether I locked the door or not but I wasn't, So he locked and went to bed. Thank God I was little awake at that time and I turned the whole thing against my dad , I told he in his sleep walking state unlocked the locked door and I am the one who did correctly locked it after he went to sleep, I kind of remembered the time it happened ( U know remembering everything about ur mistakes always helps). My poor dad had his own share of special archanai.

Ok let me not digress too much. Its just that I often get comments even from my friends that I am not "matured". I started wondering today as to what maturity is all about and why I am not a matured person. I buy toys when I go abroad. I love watching animation movies, no need to tell about POGO and cartoon network.I can be cranky at times , sensitive, possessive, demanding and what not?

Dictionary says maturity is - "The period of time in your life after your physical growth has stopped and you are fully developed " , and what is fully developed by mind ? or intellect?Because there is no end to developing oneself , you can keep doing it all through life..and
I don't think anyone has fully developed. Research shows even Einstein has not used his mind fully. Its just relative. No need to talk about development of Intellect, we are all Intellectual amateurs.

But there are times I feel I acted matured, like when I was doing my computer course in aptech, I came 1st in the fourth semester but couldn't continue the studies since I was not able to pay the fee. I did take that really well, I understood the situation the reality.And when my mca met, who I thought will be my love forever married someone else. I did take that well, she did what is good for her and I am happy to see her happy. Its very practical and I totally understand that.

I have lost and gained many things in professional and in personal life. Well everybody does and I wasn't acting like a toddler those times .. I came out of every situation with complete understanding. Yes I do buy toys all the time, that makes sense since I didn't happen to have one when I was a kid and use to hold on to broken toys of our neighbor's kid. I do buy CDS all the time, I keep it on the shelf and I hardly use it .It shows I am now in a position to afford to these things.

It all boils down to one point understanding oneself, understanding the situation and most importantly understanding other.. isn't that is maturity?

Thanks for all the comments!!
Like good,bad,right and wrong,maturity is also one word which is relative and with different definitions for each individual!!

and like the other things its meaning is generally known based on what the majority perceives!!
I think we just have to accept ourselves and live on!! :-)


keep blogging!! :-)

An Elephant's pride

Image
I happen to see this video of elephant giving birth and it blew me off. The mother elephant (after delivery) checked the calf which neither breathed nor moved. After several kicks and a quick blow the calf took its first breath to everyone’s relief. In next few minutes the calf stood up and looked perfectly fine. The mother seemed so happy and proud and I almost heard her say “see I have made my child and I know how to take care of it”. Nearly million elephants are killed in africa during last two decades, that left so many orphans, think before buying Ivory stuff , photo courtesy National Geographic This morning found me in an unusual place, a baby shower function (locally known as “Seemandham”) of my cousin’s wife. Unlike abroad it’s a family function here and I was obliged to attend. Needless to say I was surrounded by truck load of aunties and soon to be, worrying about my future love life and stuff. On occasions like this, men get busy taking part in the rituals/ doing t...

Goedemorgen Amsterdam - Euro Trip 4

Image
Morning came and I found myself looking over this wonderful sight from the window. R was very generous to accommodate me in his flat which he shares with his colleagues. My official guide was very busy plus I was yet to get my luggage so I couldn't go anywhere. I stood in the balcony with no jacket for a long time soaking in the surroundings. I enjoyed letting out smoke from my mouth. Amsterdam’s autumn winds cooled me to the bones. This canal passes right under his flat After 11 am, it became really boring in the huge flat. By compulsive behaviour I cooked sambar and rice for my lunch. I made enough sambar to last for all the flat mates for dinner. Then I took a long warm bath and slept all through the day. Late morning view By evening I strolled along the neighbourhood and went to the business area called Bijlmer arena where R worked (its half an hour – two bus ride from the house). Thankfully he had received a message from Air-France that my luggage would be delivered the...

Merci Paris - Euro Trip 3

Image
Le Pont des Bridge, behind is the institute of France. I wasn't hoping to write one more post on Paris, owing to the fact that I spent only one and half days there, and I slept 10 hours during my stay. But it’s hard to say no, to a friend who wish to hear some more. It’s difficult to forgo history when writing about Paris, one of the old cities in the world. The permanent habituation of which dates back to 4200 BC! Much later Romans conquered it, and settled down by 52 BC. Below is the oldest place and centre of Paris – “Ile de la Cité” – a naturally formed Island in the river Siene. Across the island you can see the “Pont Neuf” (“new bridge” then) that is now the oldest bridge in Paris built in 16th century. During the darkest times (Of French revolution referred as Reign of Terror)of France, famine came upon, diseases spread and vast blood has been shed due to political upheaval. 40,000 people gave their head to Guillotine , and right here near Pont Neuf, The knights of Te...
