Happily childless

I dote after children. Have doted after them since my early childhood because they have brought only happiness in my life. I have once brought up a spitz puppy from one month to the day she died, eleven years later.

 

She brought out the maternal instinct in me and I realized how precious that feeling is, and I realized how precious children are to their parents.

 

Well, very frankly speaking I think I am too independent minded and self respecting to marry as per Indian traditional way and too shy to look for a husband myself so I stayed happily unattached.

 

There was a time, till my mid thirties I guess when I used to pine a little for a child of my own. My own born. Then when I notice the horrible speed at which the atrocity against children is shooting upwards I feel happy that I did not bring a child in this violent world which does not love its offspring. I know very well that I would have doted after him or her too much.

 

Since last five years or so I have thanked God quite a lot that she did not listened to my requests. If I ever long for a child I would rather attach myself to an orphanage.

Beautiful gestures

When I was a child I have been taught by my parents that we should say thank you to everyone who does some thing good to us, and sorry when we do something bad to someone.

 

The same thing has been taught in schools I have learnt. I have personally added a few things to it, I think we all can practice it with the touch of heart, or else it will become a façade.

 

One, I always find out a quality in a person who compliments me, and if not then, later pay him or her a compliment. Actually I like paying compliments voluntarily, and finding out qualities in people. I think by paying a person a compliment I spread a little harmless happiness. That’s a thing worth spreading to me.

 

Two, if someone helps me, I certainly try to help him back. Let it be paying a compliment on my cooking skill, writing skill or something else. I either help him back in the same manner or some other. One of my blogger friends taught me two invaluable things, that moment I promised myself that I will support him in his ventures, but truthfully. I don’t pay false compliments on serious issues, or don’t give false boost. I always say the truth when it comes to serious things, but often pay false compliments on looks, or cooking etc.

 

For today, just these two. May be I will share a little more in future. I believe if we cherish manners, beautiful gestures, coursey, thankfulness and grace it will make us even more attractive to those who will come in touch with us.
