About Me

Hi, this is somebody who has taken the quieter by-lane to be happy. The hustle and bustle of the big, booming main street was too intimidating. Passing through the quieter by-lane I intend to reach a solitary path, laid out just for me, to reach my destiny, to be happy primarily, and enjoy the fruits of being happy. (www.sandeepdahiya.com)

A practice in patience

 

If you want to hone patience into the fabric of your persona, wait for the day when your kitchen has green fenugreek leaves. Then take your offer to your mother, sister, wife, girlfriend, partner or the maid or whosoever has the task of using the said leaves. Start picking out the leaves from the thin stems. Now, this is a job you simply cannot rush through. It takes it own time.

After a while, the impatience and restlessness in you will settle down to an acceptance that picking one tiny leaf at a time from the fragile stem is an art that is its own master. A calmative sense of patience downs upon you then.

Also, if you want to drill the principles of caution into your attitude, look for an opportunity when the kitchen sink is full of precious but fragile crockery. Offer your services at washing these. You of course need to be very careful because the littlest smudge at any corner lays the entire piece waste. Caution and carefulness in handling valuable crockery will make you learn the importance of carefully handling the modern-day relations that are hundred times more fragile than the crockery set in your kitchen.
