Today morning onwards my husband is very much discussing Nostradamus. I was really wondering about that time. why this fellow is having an interest in a person who has lived centuries before. At that time I was okay. But after some time when I opened my mobile there also I saw the same name again. I was having a feeling in my mind that
“Am I became outdated?” My mind is not getting ready to admit that I am the one in my circle who doesn’t know about Nostradamus!!!!!!!
No……
How can I admit that?
Definitely I will find out who is this NOSTRADAMUS.
Even though I don’t have to go outside due to Covid 19, I am very much busy with my household duties and with my children. But now I feel I should be updated even if I am sitting at home.
In the morning itself after all my works, I started to search about it, My mind was telling “Yes, Today I will collect all the information regarding it and I will beat all others those who are discussing this topic”
By the time I heard a sound from outside. Feeling irritated I went to open the door to find out what is happening outside.
A lady was standing outside with her child. I know her personally. But seeing after sometimes because of lockdown. During this lockdown, no one is going out. So I was wondering why this Chechi has come here?
Having a created smile on my face of being disturbed, I asked for the reason for her visit.
I know that she and her husband are working in a showroom in the town and they are living in a rented house near to my home. My husband had once told me that they were having a house of there own, but due to some financial crisis, they had to sell their house.
After having some chit chat I understood that Lakshmi Chechi wanted to have some money from me, that was the reason for her visit. She was having some hesitation to ask directly from me. It may be because of the shame of asking money from me.
Within a fraction of second, the thought which came in my mind was,
“Why should I give? The government is giving free ration and other facilities like a loan from Kudumbasree, moratorium, and so on to its citizens. then what is the need of giving money?
As I am not that much a shylock I started to talk with her having a feeling to find out a reason to deny her request.
within a few seconds of communication with her, I changed my mind of finding a reason for denying her request.
Before two days onwards her daughter is not well, and now she is very weak. She doesn’t belong to the category to which the government gives financial support. I really felt sorry for her. I felt pity for myself for making her wait
I was running to my room to take cash for her. And I told her no need to hesitate to ask for money if needed.
During these lockdown days, I was experimenting with different types of recipes. If one fails I go with the next one without thinking of wasting food. I really wanted to change my attitude of thinking only about me and my family.
After sometime when I came back to my chair and took my mobile, the last search notification was there. I just turned off it with a feeling in my mind that instead of thinking about a person who lived centuries ago, I should think and know about people who are living around me with a feeling of empathy.
