My grand children often tell me” granny you are getting old”. I am listing below #conversation between me and my grand child for reference of my #esteem readers.
 Grandchild- you are no longer our old time dear granny, you have become different,you have distant yourself from many previous activities, you used to carry out regularly, sad, and lonely.
Granny-No my child I am not getting old, but I am getting wise.
I have stopped being what others like me to become, but what I like I do.
I stopped seeking the #acceptance of others and have accepted myself.
I have left behind the #lying mirrors that deceive me #mercilessly.
 No, I’m not getting old my child.
Grand child-granny you have just become more #selective with places, people, customs, and #ideologies.
Most of time you let go of #attachments, unnecessary pain giving activities, #toxic people, sick souls, and rotten hearts… #bitterness and unhappiness ,
 You have understood it is better to release them.
That itself has given you better health.
Yes I agree with you granny you are not getting old.
Granny-my child I’m not going to #night parties now a days, so that the same time I could spend in learning new things and heal my #insomnia.
I have stopped living old stories and started writing new stories, I have thrown aside all #stereotypes things in my life.
I no longer use any #cosmetics now. I carry a book in my bag that beautifies my mind.
Yes my child I’m not getting old.
Grand child-you try best to carry #freshness in your soul, and remain #innocent in your heart. I observe everyday you discover your self.
You have become nature lover and always keep #charming smile on you face
You love to hear the #chirping of the birds that delight you and accompany you in your morning and evening walk.
 Yes my dear granny I agree you are not getting old.
Granny-I have become selective in spending my time,I rewrite story in form of #blog , which I’ve experienced in my science research lab, told by my friends,aunts and teachers and researchers.In a way I am #rediscovering world. I am reading old books I’ve forgotten or have read only half .
I’m becoming more cautious. I’ve stopped visiting outbursts that teach me nothing, I’m learning to cultivate knowledge, #plant ideals, and believing in my #destiny.
Moral of story- how much science technology advance,internet come and go.Through her disciplined way of  living Granny teach grandchildren value system unique which is rare to find in world.
