I want to say something about grandfathers .I mean my Grandfathers.My mother’s father and father’s father. Why is it so important ? You may ask.I thought it was important because they were my grand fathers and deserve a place in my blog in the form of a post.And above all a very interesting contradictory personalities.You will understand as you read.
My mother’s father was very punctual and disciplined person.He went by time.He will get up by 4.00 correctly .No more no less.Bath at that time.Do pratha Sandya vandanam.Then he will wait for milk .Get milk, boil that .Raise every body .Ate breakfast at 8.Am exact .No more no less. Slept from 12.00 to 12.30 in the after noon.Drank coffee at 5.00 .Ate dinner at 7.30 .Slept at 9.00 .Did all sorts of work he had in between these times.His past present and future is all the same .In fact it was easy for me to predict his future 10 years after wards .Since it is going to same as listed above.In fact he was very good ,very disciplined .I would like to point out some interesting incidents with him.
He was very calculative that, he used to take the exact change of the product that he wants to buy.If he wants to buy a tooth paste.He will exactly take the change for it sayRs 20.50 by seeing the cover of the toothpaste bought earlier.If the cost increased by 95 paise.He will come back home and take exactly 95 paise from the cash box .No more no less.But he will not take a higher amount of Rs 25 to cover all the unexpected expenses.
My father’s father was a exactly opposite to him.Nobody knew the time at which he will sleep,take food ,come home etc.It seems to escape from his father’s bashings he used to climb the back wall and enter the house from back side.Very intellectual. But very undisciplined person.Some times he slept at 4 in the morning and sometimes at 11.00 at night .He ate when he wanted.He was creative.Bold to try new ventures.I could never predict anything for him.Not even when he will eat. His life was very creative and sometimes very funny.One incident about him.
Once he bought a glass jar.He walked with that in the head to bring the glass jar home(As in the olden days they used to keep everything in their head and walk) .He did not put it down.When he came to the house he pride to his wife (my grandmother) that he had brought the glass jar home ,by placing it in his head without putting it anywhere in 4 kms. By saying this he tried to put the glass jar down from his head.He placed the hand wrongly .The glass fell down and broke.The glass that he successfully brought ,for 4kms without breaking broke when he actually came home.
So what have I learnt from all these. To take the positive aspects from both and leave there negative qualities to make improvement.
Bye for now and take care.

'Normal is Boring'- u remember this!??
@k4karthik
-Normal is Boring
- I used to say this earlier.Did i say this to you at anytime.
hey Sudhakar...from what I have observed, people of previous generations have that kind of a native intelligence which helps them in their lives practically .No amount of education could instill this ..they seem to acquire those skills by observation of their elder ones and most of which are driven by sheer common sense.
@itz me.
-Ya you are right .We still have such people in villages.One of our client near a village had a manager who is uneducated.But he enquires everything and knows much than the educated lots.
