    AC,
    sorry to learn that it even continues now.
    even now I am tempted when my mil talks with somebody...I had to adhere to my priniciple right, so no overhearing....

    True Shanthi, we don't hear anything good.
    That's why they talk behind our back or close the door and speak about us, or whisper...

    vanaja,
    Thanks for clarifying my doubt.
    sure if we work according to our consciousness, no problem.

    Dear Srinicketan
    Yes most of the time we try to evesdropp on our relatives nebours & it most of the time left one with a bad taste if he/she hears something bad & cant express or explane herself.
    But It is a natural human curisity & weakness.
    And think our all Daily sops which depend on this habit most of the time ; vamp hearing the secrets always & main charecters making appearence just after the secretes are reveled help in continue to further complicate the already complicated & unbelivable stories' wud suffer a lot Ha ... ha.:crazy

    True Jaishree.

    I thought the same too regarding our serials.
    It is named as a TWIST to it.
    What a pity...

    Hi Bhargavi,It was brave of you to forgo that habit, cause not everybody can kick it. Curiosity being an innate sense in humans, I think it a ingrained quality in a MIL to always find some fault with their DIL's and it gives them some satisfaction I suppose, we cannot live our life according to their terms as there is no satisfying such people.You have done great.Warm wishes,Aqua.

    Dear Bhargavi,
    It's so difficult to get rid of this habit because you cant stop the mind form wondering are they saying something about me? I never was privy to this habit and even if one friend says something about another I keep it to myself, why split them up same goes for relatives also, eavesdropping will lead to this at times I have seen.

    Dear sriniketan,
    Never looking back and no second thought,it is the right decision.We are aware of the fact we are the best critic and we give best judgement to ourself.It is easy to say and think on never worry abt others who comment on us.But i feel it is a bit difficult.Let us try our level best.

    Regards
    BC

    Thanks Aqua for your reply.
    The reason what you had mentioned became the main thing in my idea to overthrow that habit (maybe not fully, i/e., the curiosity)

    Hi Janani,
    I am also of the same nature regarding the tattle-taling.
    But this eavesdropping, it was difficult at one time, due to practice I think i over-powered that one....
