Kinda busy – sounds a nice way of justifying the break; but that is not entirely true – I have been plain lazy also in between. Let me try coming out from this shell of laziness!
I used to think that writing comes naturally to me. If I just sit, I thought, I could make a post. How false was this notion of mine! Many times I tried to write, all went futile! The result - my well-nurtured blog went dry. I heard this repeated query from different corners -“Hey, what’s happening to your blog? Why no updates?” Though I posted something in between, according to some , it was all "mokkai"!!!!!!!!And I admit it too....
Recently, I made a discovery, a discovery about myself! What sparked this discovery was Haritha’s query, “Miss, wont you get tired of listening?” There is every reason for her to ask this question. Most of my leisure hours are spent with commerce buddies (sometimes others come too) and each one will want to keep telling something about themselves. Most of the time, I talk less and clearly give them an ear. The topics are varied, sometimes silly, sometimes deep, and sometimes hilarious. Whatever be it, I enjoy these sessions and you can obviously see their interest when there is someone to listen to them. All the while, you get to know more about them and get to be friendlier with them.
I generally like people whom I can joke around with and at the same time have really deep/serious conversations with. I guess I am blessed such a few students and I do enjoy these sessions with them!
And, that was a discovery!!!!!!! I have mastered the art of listening! When it comes to patience, I am just NIL! So, the skill of listening cannot be really attributed to me! Yet, I am happy to see that I make a patient listener. Thanks to many students of mine for bringing out this hidden trait in me!
This is really coming out of the shell. And the footnote is apt TRUE. Cant agree more....
