Friends - My Great Treasure

My sister is the first friend of mine from whom I enjoyed the cuteness and innocence of a baby, and became aware of share, care and beauty of nature.

With my nursery friends I shared goli, stickers, colour papers which were so special to us.

The class intervals in primary classes, were so sweet to remember with  the plays with friends and  lot of Mitti and Katti (friend and unfriend).

When I came to High school class foundation of my character was laid.  Sherly made me look outside my small world to realize the reality of this world.  Her criticism with love transformed my character to a better level,  I started realizing the power of God, and the understanding attitude developed for the feelings of fellow beings.  Sherly stood before me as a great example of hardwork . But along with it some of my little friends showed the ill effects of jealousy, bad behavior, mistrust, arrogance which led them to a horrible condition.

Importance of moral side of the character was taught by my college friends.  Thorough lessons of facing difficulties with patience and strength were taught by them. When I started sharing my feelings with them I learned the lessons of unity, trust,   advice, psychology, colours of life etc……..Our outings, cafeteria, tours, experimental labs, again so nice to remember.

When I got employed and then married the syllabus of the lessons taught by the  then friends was large.  Very difficult to digest.  Even now I wonder how quickly I am going through the life syllabus with a lot of mistakes in homework and  are getting corrected by experience.

I realize that the lessons of patience, mental and physical work, psychological approach, money management, fighting with strain, loneliness , love,care and everything from A to Z which I studied as a student was only at a preliminary level.

Now along with my friends I am busy in doing the life homework of the above topics with present syllabus where we are struggling a lot with multicalcuations and strain around 360 degree.

But my friends rocks again with the  help of modern technology  which connects us and help each other to do one’s life homework with less mistakes.

GIRL TO GRANDMOTHER

Alternate heartbeat with joy and tension occurs in the heart of  every mother when a girl child is born and the reason is known to all.  But it is the responsibility of the parents to bring up the girl child to a powerful lady.  Love and care given from the family , freedom to share the feelings, thoughts, sadness, joy, tension , support for facing the difficulties etc can frame the girl to a perfect lady with positive thinking.  This lady is required for the society for numerous positive change.

                She should be given opportunity for education leading her to a employed, cultured and social housewife instead of unemployed, male dominated,  tortured  and frustrated housewife.  Our present day society demands equal gender status , if unbalanced it may lead to unbalanced future generations who will be deprived of  mother’s love and father’s care and again the same unbalance is  the main reason for increase in number of divorces.

                So a women has lot of things to do .  Being the housewife and mother,  instead of satisfying all the needs, they should be informed about the deprived class of children so that they learn to satisfy with what they have.  The chapter of selfishness, kindness, love, hardwork, self respect should be taught to children in their early age itself, which reduces the chance of producing cruel, misbehaved and useless future generation.

                Stepping to the grandmother stage, positive attitudes and moral values gifted by the experiences in life should be inculcated in their children’s family life. 

Though the article I have posted is short,  the practical work of women to attain the above life is huge which requires a lot of mental and physical strain.  So each and every women needs a great deal of support from family members for creating a positive atmosphere in the society.
