What if it's you or your child? - Part 2

     Few months ago, myself and my friends went to a bakery. It was a normal bakery with no rush in it. Even we were the only customers. So it was easy for us to hear/ see everything that was happening in the bakery. We ordered cauliflower chilly and were indulged in our chatting. A boy between the age 18-20 was chopping the cauliflower. There came the owner of the bakery. The boy was chopping the cauliflowers in somewhat big size. This guy (Owner) started to criticize the boy for chopping the vegetable in a big size by saying, "Hey thadiya (Fat guy) why do you want to put those cauliflowers in your size. Just chop them thinner". After hearing this I wanted to know the reaction of the boy. I can see clearly that he is not comfortable with those words and he seemed embarrassed.
    His boss kept on repeating those words, thinking that he is a stand up comedian. This guy can't tolerate his words over sometime. He said, "If you keep on repeating these words then I will chop you instead of these cauliflowers" by chopping the vegetable in a faster way. But that boss guy, stuffed with a foul soul kept on doing the same.
   Things I was able to observe from this incident

  1. Some people don't even know that they are body shaming the other person. And they don't accept their mistake.
  2. Even-though these body-shamers know that they are hurting the other person they do it just for the sake of making a funny environment (If they think body shaming someone can make the environment fun-filled, then I have no words for them. Check my post https://shoshinblog.blogspot.com/2018/10/laughing-for-low-quality-jokes.html)

If you have any other observation from this experience then share them in the comment section.

These people are going to persistently body shaming someone. Today they might body shame someone but tomorrow they might body shame you. To me body shaming is a sin. 

What would they have done if they were body shammed by someone else?
Would they body shame even their own child?

cute little things

    Hey all, it had been a long time since I posted the last blog post.    I will try to post at-least 3 a week. Now lets get in to today's post. INCIDENT 1 :             On a fine day, in the morning, mom was preparing channa masala for chappathi. Unfortunately, it was partially burnt. Some channas that settled down were burnt and the dish started to spread its burnt smell.             Dad came from hall, to the kitchen 'What happened pa, what is this smell. Have you burnt the dish?' dad asked. To manage the situation, mom took a single burnt channa from the gravy and showed it dad with her thumb and the forefinger holding the channa and said, 'because of this one channa the whole dish is spoiled' with a sad face.             'Okay okay, you don't get tensed. We can manage with some other side dish' dad said that in a way of consoling my mom from the disaster.   ...

"Hey, little one, do you know how much I love you? You might not be my first kid, but every kid is precious to the mother. No matter which gender you will be, I will love you like you are my world.

She enjoyed her labor pain i...

Is she the fish out of water - Episode 4

     After staring at the situation for seconds Adhira could find that girl was Sahat's sister and her would be sister-in-law Pooja. She prepared herself to not express her excitement and came out with fake calmness to welcome Sahat.      She admired the way he spoke to her parents. She admired his smile, the way he kept his mobile inside the pocket, the way he lifted his left eyebrow and everything. She could feel the chill that comes, when air touches our skin after steaming for some minutes in her heart. To others vision she looked normal but inside she could realise the changing temperatures. She realised the warmth in her cheeks.      With lots of struggles on hiding her excitement she managed to say, "Hi.. " to him with eye contact for a fraction of second. His warm smile with eye contact expressed his acceptance of her welcome.      The way Sahat met her eyes made her realise how special she is to him. Before Sah...
