People & Lessons Learnt From Them.
Savithri Nair; my mother
In my life, she has been the personification of a lifetime of dedicated care; giver of - dos & don't s, a wonderful yet absolutely free service with lavish free dabs of nagging, grumbling,advices. Yet someone I know can't bear to see me cry.
G.K.V. Nair; my Dad
He taught me that unpredictable people are harmless and just as loving & to predict the unpredictable for best results. He gave me my first lessons in male ego, discipline and obedience.
Radhika Nair; my sister
She has been an inspiration,undying motivation and a guide.I have learnt from her that fights don't make any difference to love.
Anil Nair ;my brother-in-law
He taught me that gifts might not always come with the kind of wrappings and frills you have always wished for; but are gifts nevertheless.
Olivia
She taught me that death can be an end to bad things but also an end to a lot of good things and that it can affect several people around - connected and unconnected; in ways no one can predict.
Maria
Just because a person is my complete opposite; someone who does everything I'd never want to do, someone whose thought processes go in a complete different directions;it does not mean I shall hate them. This female has survived several very serious disagreements & fights (read screaming and shouting on top of our voices at each other;after which I'd settle in my room ready to burst in tears while she would call up her random friends and make sure that i hear each and every giggle or laugh she has sitting in her room), happens to be everything I'd tell my children never to be,yet manages to be my friend I care for n love like a sis. Though two different poles, we just need to look at each other and know exactly what's going on in the other's head. She taught me that differences are immaterial in friendship.
Nidhi
My best friend since childhood with whom some petty misunderstandings led to a 9 year separation.When things got normal, the 9 years just melted away in nothingness. She taught me that life gives second chances when the mistakes are unintentional.
My G'
He is teaching me several things now. But most importantly, that two very different people can in some strange ways be very alike and survive together happily; if there is love involved.Another thing I learnt from him is that even the most short-tempered guy learns unbelievable patience post-marriage.
The Indian Society
To keep my nose in my business, because otherwise my nose becomes a hell lot of an irritation to others.
There are a lot more lessons worth a mention here, but I push it to another day and another blog post.
P.S. : Thanks to all my blogger friends for the concern & love. Bed rest over. Am absolutely fine now and back in the battle field..

@Scribbler: Thanks: it makes coming back worthwhile to hear such a comment.. :) keep visiting!
@Anon(S.K.): I must say am appalled. I mean, what triggered your comment is a mystery. If it is because of my name; then thats my name buddy. though neither am i proud of what caste I belong to, neither am I ashamed, as I don't judge myself or others on basis of caste, religion, beliefs, or outlook on life.. So whatever triggered it seems to me baseless, or am not getting your point... (enthukondu thaankalku ingane oru comment idendi vannu ennathu enikk oru chodya chihnam aanu. ente ee postilo, matt oru postilo jaathiyudeyo mathathinteyo adisthanathil olla vakukal ondavaan oru sadhyadayum njan kanunilla..karanam, enikk angane oru chintha gathi illa. thankal paranja pole, oru young mind & young person ayathu thanne aanu karanam.. njna jeevikyunna kaalaghattathil jaaathi enno, matham enno oru adishtanavum illa. ondayirnel thanne athu njan manushyare alakaan upayogikyaar illa... enthu kond thaankalk angane thoni ennu ariyanam en agraham ond.. just to check if some stray statement did trigger such an emotion.. am really curious )

Anonymous bhai seemed too much hurt by the usage of a community name. Until he spoke out like that no one must have actually noted any community aspect in your name. It is just another name.
It is these kind of people who try to raise such issues and create all the nuisance.
He seems to have irked by the usage of initials followed by community name.
