Poor pathetic Peggy. I would have burst out laughing had I been there. I would have had to run away.
We all have our moments of audience-craving, but you must know all these years later, you are nothing like her. Maybe you can thank her for the valuable insight.
When Peggy pulled the Chandra move, I immediately thought of the Tex Avery cartoon Lonesome Lenny, where the dog tells the squirrel, "Hello, George! Glad to know ya, George! You’re my new little friend, George, my new little friend!"
What an amazing story and so eloquently articulated. Thank you Sandhya. I think maybe we all have a need for attention, at least at some level, but at the same time, we need to let others get their chance to be heard, too. Without a sense of competition.
I have a friend of mine who has a need to be heard. When we’re together, he talks and talks. For quite a long time. But then he asks about what’s been happening on my end or what I think about what he said, and lets me have the floor, and listens. Our conversations take on a different dynamic, a larger, more expansive rhythm than “normal”, but they are indeed a time to share. On first blush, you might think he hogs, but when you step back and view the dynamic from a higher altitude, you see it’s not that at all. It’s the same conversational cycle that we’re accustomed to, but with larger circles.
I love that your articles and your way of expressing get me thinking, it's great. And so thanks again! A lovely piece.
