Tell us about an unforgettable experience that left you sadder but wiser.
Well this is an incident that had occured with me a few days ago. So it was Raksha Bandhan dated 11 of August 2022 it is a festival for the brothers and sisters celebrated in India. So I was feeling sick a little bit as I was on my period. So I uploaded a video of my friends and my brother wishing them raksha bandhan at whatsapp. After some time I heard the buzzing of the message. So I checked my phone I saw a laughing emoji on my status. I got furious seeing that message because I had uploaded the video with some emotions as I stay quite far from my own homeland. It was my husband's relative who replied with that stupid emoji. So I asked what is there to laugh She replied I am laughing at your status. So I replied her Is it a joke. I replied how can you laugh like that on Raksha Bandhan the video I have uploaded for my friends and family with my emotions. She use to upload only those useless status on whatsapp I never commented her on those . In anger I said Have you ever seen yours I never laughed at your. Your status is being laughed at by the whole city. I told her what a shameless woman you are to laugh at someone's emotions. She replied you are a shameless women I instantly understood what she wanted to say. Let me explain she had numerous relationship with other guys but she always wanted to marry my husband. But my husband always loved me he never loved her. She never got the chance to take out frustration on me earlier. That day she got the chance she dealt with it that day.
She replied You are a Chinese. From where are you hailing. You come from a brothel. You fatso. I feel to puke by looking at your face.
I was quite shocked at her replies because we rarely met and talked. she doesn't know anything about me.
Well I am hailing from Northeast India and I carry the same features like the Chinese Japanese And the neighbouring countries of India. We oftenly get misunderstood as Nepali and Chinese mostly. But my question who the hell is she to say those nonsensical things to me. Don't we have dignity.I am a teacher. My family members are mostly in the profession of teaching and Armed force. We North east Indians are not stuffs of brothel .How can she judge like that? We are also highly educated and more than that woman who is a 10th fail. I just asked her few questions but she couldn't answer and she blocked Have you read geography that a person's physical appearance sometimes depends on the physiography of an area. As we do share same features of our neighbouring countries like China, Nepal, Bhutan etc. But I am not Chinese. Indian government gave us our own identity . Then who the hell are you to pass those comments on me. Are you Indian Government? God didn't puke on me when he created me, my parents didn't, my friends didn't, my brother didn't, my husband didn't nor my in laws. Then who the hell are you. Are you God? God created me You didn't. Your mother was also healthy like me before your marriage Did you dare to laugh at her? Your brother and sister in law is also healthy did you dared to laugh at them? Actually I am suffering from PCOS which made me gain a little bit. But I am not that healthy as she described. I didn't tell her this. If a little bit of weight is a matter of laughter for her .Then obese people will be a matter of suicide for her. And why should I say to her? I just said her You are nobody to me.You are skinny and dark skinned I never laughed at you. I just replied her you have used the most disgracious, disgusting and abusive words but I have always talked to you respectfully. I just can't explain She had used the most shameful words which I could not elaborate in one passage. I have just given a short sketch of her words. Atlast I said My mother taught how much a person is dirty mouthed You always remain respectful towards your words. Always reply them with your knowledge with no abusive and slang words. And thadaaa She blocked with no reply.
This incident will always remind my mother's words Stay always respectful, always use your knowledge infront of dirty mouth person because a dirty mouth person has no sense and knowledge. They are stupid Because if
they could have been that thoughtful person they never needed those slang words to keep their argument Up they could have control over their mouth. And always it is said Empty vessels make the most noise.
I was sad that day But I felt wiser that day She had proved what an idiot she is. An ill mouthed person doesn't point at you but they reflect their character and inner self themself. They introduce themselves to the world. Because a person with guilt will always try to hide behind the bushes of others and try to cut the flowers of your garden.
