Respect!

-

Respect is earned. I am fighting hard to earn that respect. I show up and I’m on time! I get things done even when I’m not appreciated. I work hard even when by body cannot! I call out people (that matter to me) on their bullshit!. I get involved for the people that matter to me. I’m a great teacher, but I can get better. I’m a dutiful student but I could be more dedicated! 

I will not respect you, if you don’t keep your word. if you’re lazy, if you are not taking care of yourself and your family, if you are just a blabbermouth, if you are selfish and only try to make your own life easy without a care for others you live with, I will not respect you. 

My mom Saleela has my respect! She’s aging! I’m going to miss her when she’s gone! I will be kind and caring and will only listen  to her! 

Solomon’s dad has my respect! Ujwal’s dad has my respect. Sahana aunty has my respect! The rest of the world needs to catch up!

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
