Trick

Hi everyone. I hope all are safe and well.

 I think quarantine period is the best time I ever had and having.it is giving me a time to talk with my family members without any limited time; especially with my father. My father is a busy person. After retirement also he is working. He comes home only weekends. In weekends also he is doing a lot of works. He didn’t have a much time to talk with us freely and also I didn't have much more time to talk with him freely.

 In my life time I never had this much of time to stay with him. I thought he is a quite person, and he didn’t have any rascal time period in his life. But in this time I realized it is not true anymore. He had a rascal time period. He said many stories in his school time. He said he was a second gangster in his school. Because of his rowdiness one person had left his school also. And that person didn’t attend any school after that case. I still not believe it. Because at least he doesn’t blame us by any single word. I think my father is changed totally now.

 When we sharing our memories and experiences I had some doubt about his silent and seriousness when mother shouting. My mother is a shouting woman. Most of the time she blames us. I know she is blaming us because she loves too much us.  I asked my father how you don't  get temper when mother is shouting. He gave nice answer. He said when mother blaming she speak very fast. But words are same in she speak in normal time. Way of speaking is only different. As an example he said “ oka mesa udin  thiyanna” (keep it on the table) when blaming or shouting these words come out very fast with angry mood. But in normally these words come out slowly and nicely. He said when mother shouting he thinks those words come out in slow and nice way: like slow motion. I practically used it .yes it is true. Only different is speed of the words. It is a trick to avoid our temper also. You all can use that trick.

Now all of us have a plenty of time to spend with your family members. Try to use that in an efficiency and effective way. Covid 19  is given back a time to think and get active in new ways and recover your fast in good way. Do not misuse this time. Family is the best teacher in the world. Try to connect with your family. You can get golden advises from them.

Thank you for spending time to read my article. Stay safe.
