Stereotypes

Stereotypes are so common, that it is astonishing. What we do with it, is important.

Growing up, I have heard so many prenotions about punjabis, marwadis.

The other day, when I went to the dentist, at quick glance at the hygienist made me think that he probably wont do a good job. He had big piercings and immediately, I thought that he would be quite a punk. But, that was far from the truth. He was so good at his job!

We all have prenotions based on our past experiences and from what we hear. It is critical to not let it affect our actions and words and our opinions of someone.  

I could go after them, for what they have wrongfully done. I dont want to, because, that is not my priority. 

A part of me wishes to run to you and embrace you. Instead, you see me care and fret over you.

But I cant let you see that part, because, that will give you hope.

So, I keep that part neatly tucked in. And I wish the best for you.

The droplets of hope, that we all need, every now and then.

It will come, what we want and what we wish, it will.

I had almost cancelled this trip last minute. So thankful to mom who reasoned it out with me. Feeling so much better and ready to face the music. The change in the atmosphere, the beaches, the amazing people and interesting people that we met, really did us well.
