Friends
I had been to Jaipur during this weekend. The visit was absolutely for social events. Attending a marriage in native is always great opportunity for me. It gives me a chance to meet cousins and many other close relatives, to know about them, families and all, to meet small small kids who may not be knowing me but are integral part of the family.
Another social event was the 100Th Birthday of my Grand Mother-in-Law. This event gave me golden opportunity to meet many of my brother in laws, and other close family members from In laws side, after a gap of more than 10 years in some cases. It is not easy to organise such events unless one wish from the heart. I could sense and feel the warmth of love and affection in the family of in laws in caring every one with respect, love and affection. The time they spent despite the busy schedule is really adorable. Cost does not matter but the thoughts and emotions attached to organise such events is really adorable. I thank all of them to give me such opportunity.
Eyes are the best mirror on the human face. No one can hide emotions from them and any body can read that emotions from the eyes. Eyes indicate confidence, shyness, respect, love, affection, craziness, cunningness, anger, suspicion, happiness, joy, warmth, sorrow and so on. Tears support the eyes in both joy and sorrow. Generally men can control the tears better than women but still no one can control the eyes. Tears do not matter to read the eyes. We can sense the inner thoughts of any body thru eyes and this is what I meant about the events meant referred above. I saw that love, affection and respect in the people during these events.
Another great feeling is to see the children growing. Small kids just in their nappies becoming engineer, doctor, CA, or so on gives the tough exercise to mind to believe all this. What we were doing, their thought process, technical and professional skills, etiquette are much beyond the people of my generation. They can know the personality of a person by just blink of eyes in fraction of seconds whereas we are still analysing after decades. The confidence in them to lead the life independently is tremendous. Such joyful surprises were every where in social events where the kids are much ahead to their parents or relatives like us. US President Barack Obama is really telling the truth to Americans to be aware from the brilliance of Indians. I can understand now why he is feeling heat. Our kids are much ahead in every field and can take on the world easily. I wish all these kids who are presently in the process of becoming successful human beings a great success.
Presently reading a book "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell who has also authored Outliers and The Tipping Point. Like his other books, Blink is very interesting and I am enjoying this book.
