One ‘h’ that made me realize 3
types of people among the multifarious types.
You must be wondering how can one
‘h’ land you into learning the types of people!! Sounds weird, right!
Wait, till I tell you how!
Though it may seem strange to
write a blog on mistakes like this but somehow I got that gut feeling that said,
NO, I’d have to have written on this anyhow. And so, here I am penning down my
mistake and what I got to learn from it!
I’d written one Communiqué a few
days back for one Newsletter in which I had intended to motivate students to
gear up for their exams and not demoralize themselves by saying that my this chapter
is still left and that is left, etc. etc., which I specifically wrote in hindi
that, ‘O mera to kuch nai hua hai.. ye chut gaya hai.. wo chut gaya hai..’
Well, I don’t know how many of
your minds flashed that thing. But, yes, one ‘h’ is missing in ‘chhut’ which when
missed had a negative meaning attached to it for the people who focused purely on
words and not on the intention or the bottom line conveyed in it.
And hence goes the title of today’s
blog: ‘the missing h’!!
This one ‘h’ laid bare before me
3 types of people amongst the other types.
One who Criticize, one who Sympathize
and one who Channelize.
The Category I are the people who
criticize about what went wrong in your wordings, ignoring the bottom lines.
The Category II persons are the ones
who know that your intentions are true to the core, but in spite of the fact
that there has been some apparent mistake in your wordings, and that, the Category
I people are misinterpreting it; they will keep mum and won’t direct you
towards that mistake that has been made unknowingly.
And the third and the rarest of
the species are the people who Channelize your mind and guide you with
affection about the mistake that happened and how to avoid it to happen in
future. They are the people who have strong faith in your intentions. They
guide you as to how Category I people whose focus is only on words and not the
intentions, tend to misinterpret your meanings.
Was thinking to vent out my
frustration since few days but here I am today, penning down my thoughts in a
composed manner on this auspicious day of Mahavir Jayanti.
‘Anekant’, a word coined by
Mahavir, implies that each mind has its own perception and mentality which is
correct from their view point. You can’t justify your views upon them because
your views might be wrong from their standpoint.
And so, being a believer in the
word ‘Anekant’, I have to ask for forgiveness for the mistake done, forgiving
the Category I & II people and thanking the Category III ones, for steering
me through my mistakes.
Well, coming to an end, wishing
you all a very Happy Mahavir Jayanti.
May the message of ‘Ahimsa’, ‘Kshamabhaav’
& ‘Anekant’ spread in every human being.
