It&#39;s because they are sure that complaining is a waste of time”.&amp;nbsp; I think privately, personally and individually, I accidentally turned into a ‘private&#39; complaint box for a good number of customers 😜.

(Stories of rags_to_riches via sheer hard work and non_parasitical productivity are a hard_evidence of non_complaining intellectuals who listen to their Intellect often, instead of their mind, and go ahead with the problem solving process. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;They turn each difficulty into an opportunity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt; 😜).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Somewhere, in one of my earlier blogs, I tried to suggest we look at the ‘listener’ within us🙏.&amp;nbsp; Either it is our mind or it is our intellect. Otherwise, there is no listener and the data doesn&#39;t even get processed inside the ‘physical&#39; organ called brain 🙏. ( A subtle difference between a brain_dead guy and brain_switched off listener😜).&amp;nbsp; Attentiveness and awareness, though exclusive mutually, depend on our mind and/or the intellect to become operational 😥.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;When a mind listens, in exclusivity, there is a ‘scope’ for complaint.&amp;nbsp; Intellect can only generate doubts and questions, which the mind might conveniently misinterpret as ‘complaints’. ( Typically, a student&#39;s lazy and comfort loving mind says to the intellect: “I will ask the teacher” and informs the teacher “m’am, I didn&#39;t understand your lecture, I am confused”. The teacher merely repeats it, probably stretching the sentences a little more 😜.&amp;nbsp; Understanding gets compromised in that kid&#39;s mind with “not safe to complain AGAIN now!😥”.&amp;nbsp; A rare few kids translate the query of their Intellect and the words sound more like a ‘doubt’, than a complain ‘didn’t understand’ and the teacher is armed with the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;‘specifics’ in the student&#39;s doubts to address it with alternative approaches, using a compatible interface as an example, etc!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Habitual lamenting, cribbing, nagging etc are from those who &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;trust only their own mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt; which has promised to incessantly chase a better and better comfort zone 😜.

These two guys wait in the core of the cooked rice grain till the bite releases them, only to be instantly grabbed by the tastebuds of the diner. Next millisecond, the saliva intrudes to dilute the flavour 😭🙏. This dish is a sweet porridge “nei payasam” and a prestigious ‘offering’ at temples consecrated with mega_sophistication called “Tantra”, a combo of yantra &amp;amp; mantra. Imagine, when a wizard among tantric priests deploys his spiritual powers alongside his MasterChef expertise in a nei_payasam, and energises it invoking the energies from the consecrated deity, and allows the devotees to enrich their body and spirit as neivedya-prasadam 🤣🙏🙏🙏.

Few radioactive substances which got heated at 3000°c in the belly of earth for centuries, spewed out, cooled and became porous red mud-rocks.

And humans need flexibility to get things done favourably under a given situation 😓 ( Example: In the movie “36th chamber of shaolin”, the newcomer is not flexible enough to quickly jump over a floating log, without getting wet 😜. He trains his body &amp;amp; mind to suit the situation “)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I really don&#39;t know why or how the flexibility of mind crept into me (even when a kid)🙏. &amp;nbsp; I was normal in most of the situations, and onlookers would infer according to their rigidities 😂.&amp;nbsp; A classical example was, bulk of my elders at home concluded my visible form of flexibility as “an idiot who can&#39;t assert even his own basic rights”(consequentially, I was looked at as a dumb fool as well👍, who can be kicked about like a football. It didn&#39;t matter to me, because I was guided by ‘another’ concept : only in the human species, each individual varies too widely in their mutual relationship &amp;amp; behaviour 😥🙏. I needn&#39;t react every time. I can respond if possible). After I could stand on ‘my own 2 legs” I got drifted away from ‘relatively related relations’ 😂. A joke happened. A highly evolved relative, also respected among my relatives for his scholarly achievements, happened to mention me as a ‘brilliant young fellow” (40 years ago). My relatives proved their inflexibility by saying “how could such a great scholar go so_wrong about PSN?🤔”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;A most dreaded dacoit turned into a Rishi Valmiki, and the first step happened in a few hours( epic story). I tried to visualise myself meeting him again soon after he got transformed from a dacoit into an ascetic! My mind&#39;s flexibility isn&#39;t good enough to sight his transformation 🙏. By myself, I would continue to look at him as&amp;nbsp; ‘still a dacoit’😭.&amp;nbsp; I need to ‘work&#39; a lot more on my own flexibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Another astounding thing I discovered is…&amp;nbsp; my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;flexibility shouldn&#39;t become handy for those who try to exploit me like a parasite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt; 😜.&amp;nbsp; This clarity helped me to surmount issues related to social compulsions😂 I could drop off even socially compelling relationships. (Least of the examples was, I quit my job, voluntarily, with 8 more years of ‘cream’ in monetary form, in the pay ‘scale’ 👍. Flexibility helps prioritising priorities pragmatically 🙏. (An Earlier Prime minister confessed his helplessness and lack of flexibility when he replied to a query for tolerating too many scams, and said “ …. because of coalition compulsions 😂 “ ( tax payers suffer, for him to allow scams. I can&#39;t replicate his principle in my individual life🙏).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;Mind&#39;s flexibility did wonders for me, whether it was about myself or my_efforts to help the freshers who “trusted” me for my backup support during my 6 years of volunteering for a spiritual program 🙏. My flexibility increased phenomenally, when the fuel was an “urge to make a difference in the lives of others” 🙏.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0.0pt; margin-top: 0.0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;I found myself capable of choosing different ways&amp;nbsp; of choosing how to say the “same thing&quot; to the other person, maximizing the reach, and minimizing the scope of misunderstanding my words!

I asked my cousin to compare the effect of the ambience in 2 places; his own home, at at his uncle&#39;s house.
