My grandchildren often tell me," Granny, you are getting old". I am listing below #conversation between me and my grand child for the reference of my # esteemed readers.
Grandchild- you are no longer our old-time dear granny, you have become different, you have distanced yourself from many previous activities, you used to carry out regularly, sad, and lonely.
Granny-No, my child, I am not getting old, but I am getting wise.
I have stopped being what others like me to become, but what I like, I do.
I stopped seeking the #acceptance of others and have accepted myself.
I have left behind the #lying mirrors that deceive me #mercilessly.
No, I'm not getting old, my child.
Grandchild-granny, you have just become more #selective with places, people, customs, and #ideologies.
Most of the time, you let go of #attachments, unnecessary pain-giving activities, #toxic people, sick souls, and rotten hearts... #bitterness and unhappiness,
You have understood it is better to release them.
That itself has given you better health.
Yes, I agree with you, Granny, you are not getting old.
Granny-my child I'm not going to #night parties now a days, so that the same time I could spend in learning new things and heal my #insomnia.
I have stopped living old stories and started writing new stories, I have thrown aside all #stereotypes in my life.
I no longer use any #cosmetics now. I carry a book in my bag that beautifies my mind.
Yes, my child, I'm not getting old.
Grandchild, you try your best to carry #freshness in your soul, and remain #innocent in your heart. I observe that every day you discover yourself. You can ou have become a nature lover and always keep #charming smile on your face
You love to hear the #chirping of the birds that delight you and accompany you in your morning and evening walk.
Yes, my dear granny, I agree you are not getting old.
Granny has become selective in spending my time. I rewrite stories in the form of #blog, which I've experienced in my science research lab, told by my friends, aunts and teachers and researchers. In a way, I am #rediscovering the world. I am reading old books I've forgotten or have read only half.
I'm becoming more cautious. I've stopped visiting outbursts that teach me nothing, I'm learning to cultivate knowledge, #plant ideals, and believing in my #destiny.
Moral of the story- how much science and technology advance, the internet comes and goes. Through her disciplined way of living, Granny teaches grandchildren a value system that is unique and rare to find in the world.
