Story of a friend and inspiring person: Yoga teacher

Sometimes you meet some unusual people at unusual places and they mostly turn out to be very cool ones. In my life I have got very few people whom I can actually call as friends as I found them like needle in the haystack. This post is about a friend, a teacher and a person with many inspiring thoughts. In the era of stereotyping, it's often the case when a person can not be understood well because of the pre built images. When we hear the word Yoga teacher, image of a calm, silent and a person with always mature behaviour comes into mind. So when I first communicated with my yoga teacher first time, even I started to talk with such thoughts, after couple of conversations, that stereotype image has been broken (happily). The teacher is indeed very vibrant person, she has wide range of thoughts, can dance freely on any music, have great sense of bhakti and a critical thinker as well, has modern Indian outlook towards life and yet very grounded and yeah sometimes act like a teenager as well. So why the post? In recent times we have seen that voices are raised to see women beyond their physical appearances, to respect them for what they do and to be a person with whom they feel safe and can talk freely. The Yoga Teacher has inspired me on many such things. 

First thing I have learnt is to not to do stereotyping, understand the person, their outlooks and their thoughts, that's how you can see their different shades, sense of humour, discussions on wide range of topics can only happen in free, non judgemental environment only, so instead of labelling someone with typical identity, just give them the space to express themselves. 

Second thing I have learnt is something which is need of an hour as well, it's about not to see the length of clothes but to see how the person carries it, vulgarity can be seen in full clothes and in the eyes of those who have no shame so rather than judging someone based on their choice of clothes, let's understand them as individuals and keep focused on own's business. 

Third and important point, it's useless to try to understand the mood swings of a female, so just be calm, don't argue much and let them command the dialogue in such situation, that will help many, trust me. 

All my readers, females do share how much difficulty you still find in expressing yourselves, and males, what's your level of understanding that women are much more than just a point of physical attraction? What stops you to enjoy their great sense of humour and their experiences rather than just staring at their physical appearance?
