The way these old people are made really makes me think where we are.. It was heavily raining that morning and I was just wearing my socks and getting ready for work.. Earlier, our grandparents used to live in the ground floor with my uncle, but now my uncle's family has shifted to the next street.. I'm really happy to have aunty and thathu around.. That morning, in that heavy rain, I noticed my grandma fishing for groundfloor keys.. when i asked her why she needed them, she said she wanted to use the toilet.. At that particular time, both the toilets in our house were free.. I asked her whats wrong, and she replied sheepishly that she doesnt like to use the toilet here when my dad is around.. Suppressing a laugh, I tried to be stern and asked her to use the ones here as it was raining heavily and I didnt want her to climb the stairs.. My dad was jus returning from his morning walk.. she jus looked at him and turned a brightest shade of pink! For a second, she seemed to me like a school kid who'd been asked to sing in front of a large gathering.. She looked down and walked inside.. My GAWD!
How many "takes" do the heroines need these days to blush..
Hope, in the search for women empowerment, we dont lose the woman in us.
Cheers,

Back...
After a loooooooooooong gap, am happy to be blogging again. I've been wondering for quite sometime on what to write about.. Recently, two things made a huge difference in my life.. One of them is my laptop.. even though this is helping me pen down my thoughts, i chose to write about the latter.. Hithendrian.. After the doctors declared him as brain dead, his parents decided to make a difference in the life of small girl.. Not just her but her whole family.. They were magnanimous enough to gift their child's ticking heart to someone else.. To me, they made a difference to the whole human being species..
A couple of years ago, in my school, a very ancient tree was almost dead when our school principal decided to transplant another young bark which had to be demolished since the school was expanding.. I still remember the day the first leaf had grown.. Our principal had announced during prayer that the first leaf had come up.. All i remember now, is the thunderous applause... and all of us were shaking hands.. a baby had just passed a heart transplant surgery..
A tree or a human being, to HIM we're equal.. and we're born to make a difference.. I just hope, that all through our lives, we make people smile.. Even though we give money to orpahanges, I hope we tke our time to go there and spend time with them.. And I hope, that all through our lives, we make people around us LIVE..
Hope we stop existing and start living.
Cheers,
Hopie.
