It was during winter that appooppan visited us. I was not particularly fond of him and so, was not excited about his visit, as I had not had any opportunity to interact with him in my childhood days. I had dismissed him to be an old villager who knew nothing about modern times. He was my maternal grandfather. Amma used to tell me that he was a great scholar, who worked as a village officer. But my arrogance and ego did not let me acknowledge him. My attitude towards him changed completely when there was a get-together. One of our family friends who was a senior scientist struck a conversation with appooppan and was amazed at the way he was updated on latest developments in science and technology. I was sitting next to them, and was surprised myself. Later that day, out of remorse, I approached appooppan. He interacted with me as if nothing happened.
AWe should not judge others by appearance.
BPrejudice is not welcome in any relationship.
