watch what you are leaking out

As I write one more blog after getting inspired from Delhi metro, I think I can make a collection of blogs on it. Lady sitting next to me was discussing her family issues and the behaviour of her mother in law at her home. She was telling all these stories to her mother back home. Not interested in listening to her gossips I took out my ear phones and started listening to music. I don't know if the lady was conscious enough to realise that she was leaking out her life openly to the world. As i write this blog I realise I have written a similar blog earlier as well where I spoke about being cautious when you are in public places, but the inspiration that i got today is different. We seldom realise that passing of unnecessary information from one family to other and discussing pity issues actually create discomfort in both families. You force people to form opinion about each other and invite them to give conclusions on basis of your side of the story, you don't realise but the truth is that to fuel your own ego you keep adding the pain areas and negativity to conversation which impacts the peace of your family life. Discussing issues for which you are unable to find solutions should be in a neutral manner and with a person who doesn't form opinions and is least interested to add spices to your problems and present them to others in form of entertainment. So watch what you leak out and where, prefer absorbers and not reflectors.
