hey..You look the same

Recently i came across one of my primary school friend.We were meeting after such a long time.I was really happy to see him.We wished each other as usual and the conversation continued.My friend said-"hey man ..you look the same as you were in school ..you have not changed one bit".I thought give me a break.How can a person of 22 look the same when he as a 12 year old.And also the way he said was really irritating.He said as if he had changed drastically and i have remained the same 12 year old kid.I hit back saying that -"for your kind information ,even u look the same as the last time i saw you".

Later i came to realise the true meaning behind those statements.These people had increased their volumes,but me fortunately or unfortunately had maintained my size.Then i felt really bad that i lashed out at him like that.

Then there are those "gyan gurus" who never ever want to see a change(meaning u as a person,your attitude towards life,way of dealing with things,etc) in you.They always expect you to behave in a way u used to many years back.One of my school friends with whom i had completely lost touch till recently has resurfaced again.

The other day we were travelling together in his bike and he started giving me gyan."see nithin..you have to change..you have to mingle with people..see the outside world.you cant be completely immersed in books....an" and went on and on and on....I kept quite,thinking that he was my childhood pal after all and why should i ever give an explanation to him saying that i have changed a lot..i have lot of friends ...this that and everything..

These gyan sessions continue even today.Whenever i meet him ,there will be one gyan session for sure.Now ,when i sitback back and think i feel that i am leading a much better life than him,have more friends who are worthwhile than him,am enjoying life much more than him.But,he is turnng a blind eye (intensionally or unintensionally) to all this and he measures me with the same yardstick.

Now ,i have decided that me not hitting back and keeping quite was the biggest mistake i did.I have learnt a very valuable lesson in life.."NEVER EVER TAKE ANY COMMENT THAT YOU FEEL IS NOT VALID OR THAT HURTS YOUR SENTIMENTS,EVEN IF THAT COMMENT WAS MADE BY YOUR CLOSE FRIEND..YOU AS A PERSON AND YOUR EGO IS VERY IMPORTANT THAN A FRIEND OR ANYONE WHO MAKES SUCH A COMMENT.SO HIT BACK ,DONT TAKE EVERY WORD THAT IS THROWN AT YOU".

My first punishment(high school) ...........

It was our science class .As usual our sci teacher(I want to take his name. But........)asked some question .The whole class started discussing the answer.There was this sudden rush and noise in the class.

Dont know what made that stupid teacher take note of me,When the whole class was shouting.

He yelled at me and asked me my name. I was sitting beside my dear friend deepesh.He asked me,Who was i kotesh(meaning monkey in kannnada) sitting beside deepesh.He asked me why was i talking?.

I said -"i was not talking.But was only discussing the answer with my friend".

He said-"If u had an answer,u shud tell me idiot.Not ur friend.From today on,u must sit all alone in the last bench.If i see u sitting anywhwere else,i will kick u out of this class".

I silently moved to the last bench,though there was no mistake from my side.

The issue was not over yet.He came the next day. As soon as he came,he started asking for me.I was not sitting in the last bench.He was furious.He was shouted at me and asked me to get out of the class & stand near principals office. He also said that he wud kick me out of the school.

I was a timid guy that time.I silently moved out ......

He made me stand near the principals office for nearly TWO hours....Fortunately by that time,our beloved class teacher DVN (yes i wud love to take his name) was passing by.DVN came to me and asked me why was i standing there?I narrated the whole ramayan.
DVN sir took me to this teacher and told him that i was not that kind of a boy and made me ask sorry for no mistake of mine.

I hated this teacher for the rest of my high school days.Because he humiliated a little boy for no mistake.Even now i cant forget that incident.

U may say that i am holding onto something as silly as that.But i didnt know why i cudnt let that incident go off my mind.

But now when ilook back.I feel "Thank god such an incident happened.Had it not happened i wud not remember this stupid teacher and his insensitivity towards kids & iwud not have this story to share with you".
