Lol Ritu, happens with me all the time when I run up the stairs…can you imaine that, I actually run up the stairs at my age!!!! And then I am panting for breathe! Sigh, I have to learn to walk all over from the start! I only know to run!

Hey! Now that is nice to know! Thanks Solilo

You earn respect not by number but by deeds.

Hail The Shail!

Solilo, welcome to my page. You said it girl, you earn respect by deeds’!! That’s exactly my point!

Wah Gulshan, once again you say it well!

Your sentences have a way of tying a reader’s minds into knots

Roopa, I certainly hope so! And oops, come on I will help you untangle those knots!!

As to age, I guess, when you first meet someone without knowing nothing about the person, the only visible trait is whether he/she has spent more years soaking the sun and if yes, it can be assumed that he’ll have a few more white hair than you do, and thus the respect.

Once you get to know how deep has he actually soaked the sun, you can then decide whether he’s worth the respect

Btw, reading this post, I seem to have missed some action earlier on this blog… Too bad, coz. I’m a sucker for arguments Neverthless, I’ll be henceforth watching, be careful

Conclusion: Our little long legs was probably as smart n mature at 20 as she is today…No wonder little long leg’s legs are not growing any longer than they were at 20….

and I am suddenly feeling very Young since ending reading this….and feeling competent to answer all my daughter’s tough questions….

Thanks Shail…U made my day…..

Lol Kannan, i think my legs stopped growing at 14 or 15! Hmm… keep us posted about your progress in answering those tough questions from Dyuthi!

Age, well, I guess before you know any other attributes of a person, the first thing you can judge is age and if he’s soaked more sun than you have, we assume that he’s got some more white hair and thus the respect

Or maybe out of the knowledge that he’s got lesser years to live.

Who knows?

But once you know the person for who he is, its all clear…

And from this post, I’m guessing, I missed some action earlier on your blog, too bad, I’m a sucker for controversies Be careful, I’ll be watching now.

Rakesh, welcome to my space. Yeah we assume, grey hair means wisdom and I have learnt we assume wrong. My respect for age or grey hair is only as much is due to any human being, not anything more nor less. If it should be any greater there should be substance that justifies it. Well, that’s how I see it anyways!
Hehe..the action was long back. I just remembered the hullabaloo when my friend received the poem ‘Hey Shail’ coolly.

Hello Chandrika, welcome to my page and thank you for the appreciation. Yes, openness of mind, willingness to learn and accept and a lot of other things determine your real ‘age’ not the number of years spent here.
