Experience Speaks
I have always been a supporter of frugality be it money or words. But in reality you have to devoid most of the pleasantries that otherwise you have enjoyed. I practiced it years but neither too much frugality nor extravagance will help you all the time. moreover in dictionary being frugal to express the feeling is termed 'Coy' though I am not very sure as whether it justifies my personality or not. But those who know me from pretty long will surely buy this logic. Altruism does not lie of being frugal or extravagant because in both the cases until it has any monetary value. In my case I had to cut sorry figures many a time for being frugal in expressing my feeling. The worst thing about being frugal in expression is most of the people assume that either you are arrogant or don't have knowledge. The second one is applicable to me. I remember an incident when I was doing matriculation from the same school where my father was teaching. It made me more frugal and humble to say anything spade a spade. On independence day, preceding the essay writing competition and speech program an award ceremony was also scheduled. Unlike many other students, I too decided to be spectator than taking part in any of the activities. one of my classmate and my friend stood up and delivered a wonderful speech in English. which probably none of us could understand. And all I could comprehend that it would have been surely made by his father that he practiced over and over again and won the prize.
Later on the same evening when I was loitering with my father. He rebuked me for not being able to speak even few words on independence day. I had earned a bad name for my family. I was ashamed, depressed and so much upset that I could not bear it long and went on isolation. I thought over it many times and introspected this event. Finally I had the answer of my quest, I gave up frugality. Similarly we all have gone through such experience some day or other. But believe me frugality is good but not always. Use your apprehension to make it more vigor to your communication.
