When i was little i used to fall lot .There was no one to defeat me in this quest .
First reason was the hilly ways of village which were new to us as you know that my parents moved in village when i was 5 or 6.
Walking on hills with friends was adventure for little girl that had come from big city though . But learning to walk on abrupt steepy ways was hard task.and i was expert failure no doubt.
Second reason was that i was absent mind kind of stupid child who somehow manage to carry her imaginary fairyland along and fail to attend what is before often .
Best part that my often falling was way to amuse my younger sister and cousins who would laugh loud for long time and never forgot to repeat it in gatherings.
I was too foolish to understand reason behind their fun making . Because whenever they had fall i never laughed on them instead i had ran to them and helped them to get up.
There are many legend falls mine ofcourse that have been discussed repeatedly since years by people close to me when ever they got privilege to do so during family gatherings.
Once during my teens me and my sister gathered all the leaves and other trash from frontyard and put it in wide iron plate which we call thaal in native language.
We had used thaal to gather and throw the trash of the house in dawn and dusk. My sister helped me to put thaal on my head and we headed to downhill .
It had rained one day ago and paths were still slippery due to cloudy weather. My head was not stable not because thaal was much heavy but because i was not focused enough as we were busy in chatting during walk.
My right foot suddenly slipped from stone and i fell badly. I was rolling down to the hill and all the trash wrapped over me . In few seconds i was in street below with thorn in my palm and scratches on different parts of my body . But none was serious one .
All i could hear was the bursting laughter of my sister . She when got down was still laughing .When i asked her to stop she laughed more loudly .
She said while laughing " i am not laughing the way you fall but how quickly and seriously you got up without any expression hahaa"
Till today she repeated it many times with same phrase and imagine my stupidity that till today i cannot get what she was saying.
I am scared that you either will think of me so dump when i will tell you that i cannot laugh on many jokes or movie scenes in which people get hurt.
I cannot find them funny i don't know why though i want to ,believe me!
My sons tell me joke often specially the younger one ,but he feels irritated when i express my concern about one who fell or got hurt instead of start laughing which approves that joke was funny .So embarrassing! yea i know .
Is there anything i can do about it ,no because it is in my nature not habit that can be change.
There are more falls that i cannot forget. After ten years i was six months pregnant with my second child.Me hubby and eldest son went to visit my native village in vacations. When train had stopped on platform i was stepping down from steel steps of train exit . I missed the last tow of four . Height was not much but still falling made me feel sick and dizzy for while .
My mother was so stressed about the well being of baby i had within. But this was grace of lord that results of all tests were normal later .
Since almost 30 years i hardly fall or may be because i am more grown up and attentive now. Still i believe anybody can fall any time no matter how careful and precise he is.
Reason for laughing on fall of others can be sensible. As when someone fall most of people laugh spontaneously.
According to Shakespeare their instant reaction of expressing joy comes from sense of learning that IT IS NOT THEM WHO JUST FALL
Which is not comprehensible for me . It is not me who just fall is okay but logically it can happen to me either any time
what do you say ?
