Praise like love is not a rationed product-it increases and not decrease when you give away. <br />I have seen through criticism when it is not warranted-it is always a sign of jealousy and the feeling that one is not good enough but veil that insecurity with a criticism in the form of a joke.

What you said about the z...Sure thing, Ravishanker.<br />What you said about the zero sum game is spot on. Which is why I believe that the beneficiaries of the largesse of these sacrificing souls must be thoughtful and prompt in acknowledging those sacrifices. I know that I am guilty of taking my closed ones for granted when I was in my teens and maybe even my 20s. Which is why I want to be thoughtful now in an attempt to make up for past mistakes :)Ram Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932557588480669430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332491328939495514.post-77293933000167847722016-05-27T07:48:25.736-07:002016-05-27T07:48:25.736-07:00Ram Murali : Very kind of you to say so !

It also betrays some of that quiet assurance that you were mentioning in the article.<br /><br />Ofcourse - different people have different ways of conveying praise. Not necessarily verbal and many times its more uplifting to receive praise from the more reticent ones.<br /><br />But sadly, they dont make them like your paatti anymore.<br /><br />Either you think about yourself constantly and promote yourself constantly....or you're dead. Its a sign of the times...:(Zolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347849134451149946noreply@blogger.com
