Right from my child hood, I haven’t found a single place from my mom’s direction. I give her a pencil and paper and ask her to just draw it out and for heaven’s sake, she will stand there and tell you what to do but never touch the paper. Scale of distance and time is perfect – Near can be anywhere between an hour and 2 days away and Far can be anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes. One interesting conversation
Mom: It is right in front of the red building.
I find the place on my own and take my mom there another day and make her stand there and ask – “Where is that red building?”
Mom: It is right behind this building. You can not see it from here, because this building that you wanted to find is blocking it.
Me(now enlightened): Hmm, then how the hell do you expect me to find this building using the red building?
Mom: If you come straight this way you can not, but if you get lost and go to the next street, you know how to get back. But what I told you is correct.
And I consider my mom as one of the better woment that I have known.
Sometimes when I am in a good mood, I just ask one woman to give another some directions. Believe me, you will never want to watch a comedy movie no more.
A topic frequently visited in many of my conversation is why men and women behave certain ways. People want to understand others better so that they can have better relationship, control the situations, manipulate or just wonder. I am planning on archiving some of the thoughts that people have in this thread - All of which might not be mine. The contents of this blog are heavily biased and prejudiced and I warn you that you should read these posts only if you have a good sense of humor.
