Requirement to bring CHANGE

-
I remember a time when 'glass bottles' were used for sauce packaging. However these bottles weren't very convenient as, if the bottle slipped from your hand you landed in a mess. I can recollect, once the content were almost over I would pour in some water and give the bottle a stir to pull out all the sauce which stuck to the inner side of the bottle to reduce the wastage. These glass bottles weren't great to carry on a picnic, many times we had to opt for our steel vessels to pack sauce! Also these bottles had no control over how much sauce could be squeezed out....sometimes you only needed a drop of it and half the bottle would empty in....huh, we all have been there I suppose!


Taking in account all the disadvantages of these glass bottles the sauce producing enterprises opted for the plastic sauce pouches. These pouches are indeed extremely convenient. We can carry them anywhere as they are super flexible and can fit anywhere. Moreover there is no chance of the packet spilling over its contents! Due to all these advantages the plastic pouches soon took over the market and now, we can rarely see any glass bottles. 
If we go back and ponder, the basic thing that lead to these trending plastic pouches was its 'flexibility'. The quality of plastic being flexible has made us incorporate it in almost  everything we use. Flexibility thus is a very important element....isn't it?
If we observe people around us, we quickly get along with those personalities who are flexible and not rigid. Imagine if our customs had been rigid the cruel practices of female atrocities would have had continued. We need to be flexible to adopt to difference. If we are adamant, ''I do it this way".....we would be left out and forgotten! 
We love democracy because it is flexible unlike Hitler's rule. As time suggests we need to change and we can bring change in ourselves only if we are flexible enough! I have already written enough on change in my last blog. 
Change is the only constant and flexibility is the requirement for change!

    Change is the only way forward. It is mind blowing how everything around us tries to teach us something. You picked up the most common yet a powerful example. Keep observing, keep writing. 😃

 I remember a time when I used to visit my maternal grandmother's place; after dinner all my cousins and I were asked for our ice-cream preferences. Each of us had a different liking: chocolate, strawberry, mango, vanilla....the list would remain the same most of the times! Each of us would get the ice-cream we had asked for and then, all my cousins and I would sit enjoying the ice-cream. We would usually offer each other a spoonful of ice-cream from our own cups. This way we could taste a variety of ice-creams and at the same time we could relish our favorite flavors.  Now just replace the ice-cream with opinions. If we are put in a problem or maybe we are just discussing an issue with our friends or family we may have different opinions. That's because we are raised differently with varied ideologies and beliefs! None of us is the same.  One can literally imagine a party with friends or family, where everyone is having a ball and suddenly a discussion begins on a contro...

The Dearest One!

It would almost be ten years that we are existing together. It was in 2011, that I met him for the first time....I was overjoyed to have him! However, the ecstatic moments didn't last long. We soon began fighting; we didn't use physical forces to fight each other, mere words were enough to do the harm. Both of us enjoyed the perverse pleasure of hurting each other and honestly we still enjoy. We always have a ball seeing the other one in trouble.  But, over these ten years we have built a beautiful bond....an unbreakable one. We have stood in each other's thick and thin (though our problems aren't that big). Every time I have a lizard in my room he's my shield! Every time he has to complete a project I have a responsibility! These are very minute situations to test our bond but believe me it gets stronger within such circumstances!  My greatest breather to studies is to annoy him and listen to his cranking sound...Ah! It just waves off my frustration like anything! ...

Inculcating a Habit

 New Year(s) come with diaries, banks and hospitals often distribute them. So every new year we have at least five to six diaries at my place waiting to be used. Each and every member of my family gets a new diary during the new year. Often, the craze of diary continues for a week, utmost for a month....the diary later gets forgotten only to be discovered during the Diwali cleaning!  Diaries are used for various purposes, say some people write their personal experiences while some pen down their brain child whereas few prefer diary for maintaining their schedule and in some cases people jot down their daily expenses.  One of the best habits that my father possesses is writing down his daily expenses in his diary. If I try to remember the farthest, I have seen him almost every night writing his daily expenses. So, he has a detailed account of every penny he spent. By year end, he is the only one who has gained the optimum benefit of the diary.  I remember, once I dare...
