Don't worry, I am not going teach you Darwin's law of evolution!!
Well!! To start with, I belong from a defence back ground, where my father and uncles worked in Indian Army. Needless to say, we were forced to travel every 2 to 3 years to be with my darling daddy.
When most of us say friends from childhood days are just assets, I'm like which one? The one from Bareily? or Merut? oh no nono, i think the Kharagpur one? and the confusion goes on and on. Due to change in dad's base location every few years, we were forced to change school and this brought in a lot of new faces to deal with, be it teachers (to build a rapport) or be it friends (to survive day-to-day life situations). I'm sure you are getting me...
All these taught me a great lesson to adjust with anyone at any point of time. This made me learn to appreciate the culture and livelihood of people around us. I have learnt a great lesson which taught me to respect people for what they are and not from where they belong.
When it comes to learning... and you are among strangers, you try to be friend with them by showing them that you know many things about their culture and society to be well accepted. This helped me learn a lot of traditions and cuisines around the world and today I have a lot of traditional tricks along with a great food diary in my kitty :)
I was blessed to meet so many people from different parts of the country living in a same locality. We celebrated all the festivals with each other. I was never taught that Pongal is only for South Indians and Holi is only for North Indians. I was taught to fit in the society of mixed culture wherever we traveled with papa.
I know, all these sounds awesome and flowery, but as written in my destiny... I met the MAN of my dreams... Wait let me finish....
From HARIYANA... See!! I told you "Survival of the fittest" God laughed at me as well!!
You wanted kick... here it is darling, all for you :D
Well!! Needless to mention I am blessed with the most loving, caring, and a man with such an amazing outlook about people and life. While I was determined to shift my story from "survival of the fittest" to "survival at its best" ... I got married!!
It's just the beginning, the beast is yet to come!!
Oh!! sorry... Did I say beast?? No no... Best is yet to come :) :)
