Lessons from Grandmother

1) Live life colorfully. Live life to fullest. 2) Do not waste food. Never throw food in garbage. 3) Do not depend on anyone. At the age of 95, she used to make her own pickles, jams and chutneys. She created her own happiness. 4) Get in touch with people. She was always in touch with relatives and knew more than us. 5) Stay in touch with your roots. Fashion and makeup is important for a woman. I remember even in her 90s, she used to dye her hair and practice skin care. 6) Never fall for a man who is not interested in marriage. Never fall for unrequited relationship. 7) Tradtion is important but it is ok to be a rebel sometimes. Tradition some times destroys our lives. She got married in 50s when women used to cover their face for months after marriage. She ended that tradition. 8) While looking for a proposal, always choose partner from a good family and nice family back ground. Money is not that important but background of your partner matter a lot. 9) It is ok to be alone than going for a bad relationship. 10) Always nurture your inner child no matter how old you are. Good clothes and nice dressup is always important. 11) Family gathering are important and basic functions should never be missed. Meeting relatives is important. 12) The importance of carrying a legacy. She carried on the legacy established by my great grandfather. She kept running the school till her 90s.
