Edelweiss And Emotional Intelligence

A friend of mine told me today that I was her only friend whom she could laugh with, with no pretensions. 

I have been told by many friends that they could just be themselves with me. (Of course I have also been told by one friend that talking to me was like talking to a piece of furniture! And hence she could share anything with me while she would be cagey about sharing stuff with others.) 

That brings the question: what's so special or unique in me that people can be themselves with me? Do I not judge people? Of course I do, all the time and my friends are quite aware of my tendency to judge. So why me? Why no pretensions? 

I had to scratch my hair, what little there is of it. 

Conversation is like a dance.

If you can think of a dance: a ballroom dance (like the Edelweiss in Sound of Music) and compare it to a brisk walk. You will see the difference. Most of us would be very wary of dancing in a ballroom than a walk

The former requires elegance, you have to dance nicely. While walking, on the other hand, there are no strict rules to be followed. You can be yourself. 

I am a person with little emotional intelligence unlike others. Talking to me is like taking a brisk walk. Talking to others is like dancing in a ballroom.

An environment of inelegance lets you relax. You don't have to dress up, you don't have to follow protocols. Though, it's quite likely that elegant people may not prefer inelegance all the time. 

That perhaps explains why many people tell me that they can be themselves with me.

Boohoo, I will only be a walk and never a ballroom. Bye bye, Edelweiss.

But then I am easier to talk to and nice, as a change. Emotional unintelligence does have its use!

Anil Ambani And Me

As per this article, lockdown is supposed to be lifted because our cases are relatively low now, about 114,000 per day.

Reuters India: India to ease lockdown rules as coronavirus case numbers decline.

This is my Corona tracker - shows the new cases, deaths, recoveries every day from April 2020.

In the 1st wave, the highest number of cases was on Sep 16, 2020 and it was about 100,000. The number that was highest (new cases per day) in the 1st wave happens to be the lowest in the 2nd wave and the same number is almost a cause for celebration now.

I am reminded of the time College graduates in the US celebrated spring break because the temperature rose to 10C and all students would be out in shorts whereas in Calcutta the same 10C temperature would be the coldest day all winter and people would be dressed indoors in wollens and socks and shawl.

Take another example. Anil Ambani and I are about equally wealthy - marginally above bankruptcy. I see my wealth as high because I came from a zero. Anil sees his as zero because he came from billions.

As a friend of mine would say it's all about "nazariya ka farq" (difference in point of view). After seeing 400,000 new cases per day 114,000 seems like nothing. How you see a number depends on where you are coming from.

Puzzle - Sarita

My question: is it Sarita South Indian or North Indian?

Read the story below:

Sarita is a very good teacher in the school ... 

*Sarita*: - Tell me where is the Taj Mahal .... 🕌

*Students*:  Agra ...  

*Sarita* : Wrong ... It's in Bengaluru...

The students all got into thinking .. and were confused

😮😲

The students told this thing to their parents.   

The very next day, all the parents reached the school and started complaining to Sarita teacher that why are you teaching the children wrong ..

*Sarita to all the parents:* 👇🏽👇🏽

First of all you should deposit the fees of the last six months 💰

Till the fees are deposited Taj Mahal will remain in *Bengaluru*.

🤣😂
