Vanakkam world

-
After this pandemic outbreak, many talks about hygienic practices that need to be followed. Few country presidents and prime ministers highlighted Indians' welcome practice of Vanakam or Namaste is a good way to welcome each other, without spreading germs. 

Now I see many of my Indian friends and neighbors,  who welcomed me with a hug and hand shake forwarding those speeches and posts saying, "see the whole world now following Indian practices and we are well cultured from long ago" . 

I feel pity for such sudden patriots. Are we influenced by that extreme of westernization? Cant we feel proud about ourselves without the acknowledgement of other country people?  

Believe in our practices. When it comes to culture, We are blessed than any other country. Because India has one of the oldest civilizations in the world, we have more to admire on our customs, just try to know the meaning and reasons for our practices and continue following them according to the existing environment. Dont wait for the Foreigners to learn, research and teach us who we are and how good our practices are. 

Vanakkam.

Few months after I got comfortable with my household works, I faced a new trouble in handling my routine. Suddenly I saw new cuts and rashes in my right hand, my palm was red and swollen. Soon, it became worse, cuts on every finger (front & back) with bleeding and pain on finger tips; nails became hard, totally my right hand was changed to look like an Hag's hand.  It might be caused by dish wash liquid, I was new to all kind of household works, so thought, I got allergic to it. So, changed dish wash liquid. But the same problem existed, then I started using gloves for dish washing and applied coconut oil for betterment. No changes.  My right hand looked totally different from left hand. Dish wash liquid was the cause but it impacted in my all other activities. I could n't cut vegetables, because my hand was hard and couldn't get hold of knife, I couldn't cook, the hot vapor brought more irritation to the fissures. Hair wash, combing hair,

You may think, this is something irrelevant to my blog, but I tell you, this is relevant to my interest. Like many others, Mahabharatham is my fav epic and I started reading and listening to different versions of Mahabharatham from my school days. All the time, my perspectives used to keep changing, and every time, I observe something new in it. Then I realized, it is the nature of art, the beauty of any art lies  in the eyes of viewers. The same way, the quality of a literature elevate with the readers and their understanding ability. When I was 13 years old, I was not a bibliophile(still same), but Mahabharatham made me to sit and finish it in 2 days. That was a pocket size mahabharatham with only 150 pages. But I could remember many characters and also seeded the ability of character analysis in me. As I said, when the years pass by, my views on Mahabharatam characters and incidents also keep changing. We all know that Star Vijay and Sun TV also came up with their version o
