TOUCH Thursday No.2 Prompt

Hi friends,

This is in response to TOUCH Thursday No.2 by author Preeti Shenoy.
If you had to tell Mark about India, what would you tell him? 

Hey Mark,

You think Indian woman are gorgeous, pretty, intelligent, warm? Well, yeah that's true. We are gorgeous; even though we are not very fair or size zero still we are gorgeous or may be the wheatish-dusky skin tone and voluptuous body built make us beautiful. Well, enough of self praising. Coming to the point, the most cheerful Preeti ma'am has asked me to tell you things I feel. So here it goes. You said that Indian Men are lucky but the truth is not so. Indian Men (not all of them but many of them) are so outta their minds that they don't know how to respect womanhood. While a foreigner like you consider us as a treasure our own country men treat us like some use and throw toilet paper. You might not know how hurt I am when am writing this. While newspaper and media talk about huger crimes like rape and murder in India, I ll tell you the less known and least investigated crimes against men.

India is a country where in a woman 

• A woman should use laptops, files, etc to cover her breasts apart from wearing saree or stoles
• Here we cant walk alone after evening 7 p.m
• Even a co-worker or colleague might be a stalker and harrasser
• Even a cop will ogle at us
• Here still child marriages, slavery, human trafficking exists.

Yeah, we are gorgeous and intelligent outside but torn and worn out inside :( Hope everyone enjoy and cherish us like you do rather than making us perish by their nasty n pervert looks.

TOUCH Thursdays - Preeti Shenoy Prompt 1

Hey ppl,

This is in response to the TOUCH Thursdays hosted by Preeti Shenoy, Author.

Prompt 1

If I could have anyone I choose as my 'forever friend'/ 'life partner' , I would choose Hemalatha Nageshwaran

I would choose My Elder Sister "Hemalatha Nageshwaran". Yes indeed, this reply to the prompt is dedicated to her. She was a second mother, first teacher, childhood role model, best friend and above all a great inspiration. She has sacrificed a lot for me, loved me deeply through thick and thin. Ofcourse we do fight a lot but then there was no ego thus no hurting.

I read somewhere that  "if someone cares like a mother, protects like a father, teases like a sibling, fights like a spouse, supports like a best friend. then you both are meant to be" I guess me and my sister are meant to be since we satisfy all the above criteria.

Love You Sissy,

Cheers

Keep Calm and Rock On!!!

Heyyy peeps,

It's been really long time since I updated my blog. Just struck up as usual with college and work related chores. Now it is time to write about something that was pondering my mind for so long. ANGER. The word itself creates hate and frustration. I being the youngest and pampered daughter of my family has always felt so spoilt and pampered that I was always branded as the most short tempered person. However, life is not always a bed of roses. When I finished my high school and got into college I was lost and cornered. I have to go through a lot of miseries or should I say life was teaching me many things? Right from the frowny  faced professors to arrogant seniors I had to face troubles everywhere. I shouted, threw tantrums, cried, hated, and finally lost.

Like a ray of light on a dark dungeon, I got couple of adjusting and trust worthy friends who showered me with love and bliss and at the same time thought me how to handle the worst situations I was facing. Now looking back, 6 years have passed away. The worst of me was left behind. Yeah, I do accept am not perfect but at least am lovable and lively these days. I thought and jotted down a set of remedies that suppressed my anger.

1. Put yourself in their shoes: Before reacting to someone just think about them and think like them.
2. Meditate: This doesn't necessarily require you to sit in crooked poses and close your eyes, just close your mind for a while and open it back.
3. Love: Love is the only thing that can battle anger. Love people unconditionally. Give more love than you take.
4.  Sleep: Yeah get some ample sleep. You need to sleep the right amount to be brisk and fresh. Sleepless nights definitely spoils your mood.
5. Chocolates: Chocolates can always melt your mood. If none of the other things work, stay calm and eat chocolates so that at least you will be happy.

Trust me this is gonna work on you too especially if you are in end of your teens.

Cheers,

Sri @ Tanya
