“Oh..your
daughter is so quiet , lucky you are to get blessed with such an obedient
child” said her preschool teacher lightening up her mother’s face with pride .
“Oh..your
friend is so good , your sister is so nice , your daughter in law is so calm ,
your wife is so perfectly poised” followed the never ending praises for her year
after year .
But nobody
bothered , nobody asked , nobody cared , was it her compulsion or her choice or
was she simply trapped inside that cage of praise .
And
yesterday someone again said ….
“Oh your
daughter …” she cut that person abruptly in the middle and uttered “ You know
my daughter is everything but not at all quiet” and having said those few words
a satiated smile lit up her face .
