Three : Prologues
One thing I am certain is that whatever I write down here from now on would be deeply inspired by Nassim Nicholas Taleb's writing style. Yes, he is the author of "AntiFragile" and definitely that catchy title is the reason why I am hooked onto one other creation of him.
Prologue - I
This very conversation happened so long ago but I still remember it due to a very particular reason. This one evening whilst we were having tea and snacks at home after school hours, my younger brother striked up a conversation about something which he heard from his friends. As teenagers it was a spicy gossip about a young girl in our locality and the way it was cooked up to be qualified as a spicy gossip was indeed marvelous. After hearing his version, we were about to take part in this during which mom simply interrupted just like that. And her exact words were, 'Dont you ever think that I do not know how to put this dagger to good use' raising a knife which she was using to cut veggies or something sitting nearby our group. And that roar was addressed towards my brother. "No matter who talks shit about anyone, you will not mouth it further or propagate it, clear and if not clear, I wouldn't mind ending the burden I created" That was even clear to us. One among other few times I heard this with clarity was once when she shouted at my brother for coming home late than the time he confirmed he would arrive at and it looked like this, "Where were you ? What were you doing ? Will anyone come here tomorrow saying that their kids reached home late because they were with you ? If yes, be clear of one thing if you ever tell me that you got late because you were with someone else, then that is on me and yes I failed in teaching you to intercept nuances better. But if someone else ever tells me that they got late because of you, then that is on you because I did not teach you that and if you ever become a bad influence in anyone else's life then that's it for you using your legs to walk and run again and trust me on one thing I will keep feeding you good food for your entire remaining lifetime.'
Well, somewhere if you are wondering how my brother turned out to be, he is okay but I have never heard him badmouthing about anyone else ever till date since then. He just stays out of that whole drama deal.
But that lady is quite a drama queen isn't it ? Yes, she is. Because my brother is her favorite creature on this entire Universe. Well, after years of spending my life with her, there is one key element which I learnt or even acquired from her and that quality is called accountability. I am super thankful to her for that.
Prologue - II
This is a discussion which I was a part of post my marriage. Me and my ex husband were accompanied with his distant cousin and that guy's wife, a sweet girl, 22 years old, airhostess trained and most importantly just married. As newly weds, we were actually getting to know each other and when I was amazed by her being an airhostess trained candidate, I had to know more details.. After some vague explanations what I heard from her was the unfortunate story of what it actually takes to climb the steps ahead in her career and sadly how she had to give up on her dreams because of all of that. Sweet responses are super sweet but as a corporate employee for a few years, there is a certain shit to that kind of shit tale I hesitate to buy. Well her story is that, ' Every airhostess who needs to climb the steps ahead in their career would have to 'compromise' at some phase or else, their growth will become stagnant at one or the other phase'. Well, she was just out of training so that sweet child did not take part or never was a victim of whatever 'usually happens' to every other airhostess in town. She just smelled the danger in pursuing that path before hand and took a wise decision. I apologize to all the airhostesses out there and I will not rob you off your honour or hardwork or persistence based on someone else's excellent survival tactic story.
I can see two women in my prologues and they are poles apart as well. One thing I love about being an advocate of womamhood is that I get to support and stand by my own kind. And one thing I am sometimes failing at is also understanding my own kind, their intents, their tactics. I think that would be the same with not just women but also, the entire mankind, diverse in every aspect.
Book - III
This would be my first ever successful attempt(wishfully🙏) in creating my own paperback product. Well, it takes a lot of persistence, constant and continued motivation, enriching imagination, a lot of research and most importantly a lot of time to create this one product. Let's see how it all goes and also I look forward to how much time it would take to complete, what I would come up with and would I even complete it, I want to., though. Just super excited for my "Three".
