We were more people oriented in a naturl way, ad not because it was "institutionalised". And so the evolution was gradual and made us more appreciative and tolerant. But there is much to be said for todays folks too.Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-89646238591733749102013-04-02T09:50:33.508+05:302013-04-02T09:50:33.508+05:30loved reading this!

My mom is turning 50 and she still travels nearly 2-3 hrs one way (by bus, scooter & train) to her workplace every day (in Kerala). <br /><br />Women always stood up to occasion, adjust and i guess it was partly due to the society's gender biased eyes. <br /><br />Girls of my age are quite different though, not just women even us men...its like we have lost happiness on our way here. The God of small things are missing today as you pointed out TV ate into the evening stroll & socializing, etc.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-27349953105345200972013-04-02T09:24:37.188+05:302013-04-02T09:24:37.188+05:30HW, thank you.

It does get difficult as you age, and you are lucky to be able to live where you do.

Mumbai must be quite a town – we do not see many people here in our suburb of Atlanta, Georgia – nobody walks in our street and there are no sidewalks, so it would be hard to adjust. I always wished to go to India, to Pondichéry to be exact, because while growing up in Paris, France, I had a stamp collection and several stamps from this town, which was then a “comptoir français.” I don’t know if I ever will. I’ll come back to your past posts to read them.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-29000430137784161732013-04-01T22:31:40.433+05:302013-04-01T22:31:40.433+05:30You have a such an engrossing flow in your writing...You have a such an engrossing flow in your writing, ma'am!

I always wondered how people went inside and outside the train through the crowd...thanks to TV. It is not yet that bad here in Chennai. I was also going to work by electric train, many years back.<br /><br />Poking, nudging is common in every city in India I feel. the schools are after building new constructions to take in more students, but the toilets are always secondary.<br /><br />The story about the fisherwomenfolk is very practical and nice!<br /><br />Pamini will smile everyday! That is a great gift to our women!
