I kept looking into the half empty portion of the glass and forgot about the half filled portion!

NOT on my list of favorite animals, either!! They poop all over the walls in the garage :-O and make us scared to walk barefoot! They are usually pretty tiny, maybe 4 inches including tails at their largest. <BR/><BR/>It never hurts to be kind, does it?Julie Kiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914386223833117415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38781793.post-72620104188499671782008-03-25T23:10:00.000+05:302008-03-25T23:10:00.000+05:30I loved your post, Bungi.

I was so touched by the way complete strangers made room for us to sit simply because I was carrying a child. And Naina, who for some peevish reason wanted to sit cross-legged, could do so because the lady sitting next to her insisted that she wasn't offended or remotely bothered by Naina's shoes touching her. She even held her feet and 'chellamed' her! <BR/><BR/>I was also struck by how deeply American culture has penetrated our society thanks to TV. (I guess since we don't have a TV, I'm probably the only person in India to still be startled by this fact!) A lady came by selling hankies and Naina shouted, 'Dora!' I paid a measly Rs 10 for four Dora hankies while the woman next to me, gray-haired, cotton sari-clad and plastic lunch basket-toting, commented smilingly in Tamil, 'Indha Dara, ellarth mele vandirichhi. Hankies mele, towels mele, t-shirt mele...' (Excuse the Tamil :)) I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised that she knew Dora, but I was!Deepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04735417601577339826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38781793.post-38570095188027918542008-03-25T18:18:00.000+05:302008-03-25T18:18:00.000+05:30YOU MADE MY MORNING, BUNGI!

On top of everything else this post says, it is a wonderful reminder that countries are full of human beings, and the vast majority are very good. Thanks for sharing this. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for the book recommendation for my daughter. I remember reading it when I was younger; I'll go to the library and get it today!SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38781793.post-63575613145526964092008-03-25T15:36:00.000+05:302008-03-25T15:36:00.000+05:30Remember God sometimes says hello though the use o...Remember God sometimes says hello though the use of people like the ones you met that day.
