I also judge

I'm an extremely judgemental person. Its pretty much an unconscious act for me, so these were just a few of things I judge that I'm AWARE of.. I'm pretty sure there are plenty more which I don't even realise..

I judge :

People who litter.

People who come to India/Kerala and act all amused/surprised because "Oh you can speak English so well"

People who misuse their mobile phones - includes speaking while driving , texting while someone is talking to you, not switching it off/setting it to silent while in church/theatre/during a talk EVEN after its rung once and you KNOW its not switched off/on silent.

People who I meet for the first time asking me my 'caste'. I don't know and how does it matter ? And if its someone who knows me who asks, then its more often than not , out of curiosity.

And I also judge myself for judging people who don't think the way I do...

I'm-Proud-Of tag

Broom, I owe you an apology. This took way too much time and I couldn't even think of 8 things I'm proud . But the 5 that I did think of, I'm super proud of. I think I'll come back to this late if I ever do think of more things. I know there are more things I should be proud of....

Here goes.

Appa , for everything that he is. He's incredibly intelligent, very very straightforward and very very funny.

Amma , for her strength, for being able to keep her cool at all times, her energy and enthusiasm, her genuine-ness and her amazing cooking skills.

My brother. Just writing this, gets me all choked up and teary-eyed and happy. AA is every sister's dream come true..

My dad's sister O - She lost her husband very early in her marriage, was a single mom and had to stay with very nasty parents-in-law and even nastier sister-in-law. She ran a huge crumbling tharavad all on her own, managed the family property , dealt with scum-of-the-earth dealers and real estate agents and made sure that NO ONE messed with her. She's an incredibly strong woman, extremely straightforward , proud and yet humble. AND she's funny, loves to tell stories and has the most whole-hearted laugh I've ever heard .

My grandmother, my mother's mother - If I could be half, even one-tenth the woman that she was , I'd be happy. After she passed away, my mom used to have complete strangers come up to her and speak so fondly about Ammachi and how she helped them out.



AND I'm tagging myself with Broom's latest tag .... :)
