The Princess and the peas is an intriguing fairy tale. It starts with a princess who is drenched in an outpour and lost in the woods, knocking on the doors of a castle. The queen who lets her in is not sure if she really is the princess that she claims to be. She decides to test her . She places a tiny pea below her mattress and piles several layers of soft mattresses on it and invites the princess to lie down on it.
Being used to a luxuriously soft bed, the princess finds this one uncomfortable and tosses n turns all night. The next morning the queen makes sly queries about the princess' night and is thrilled to find out that the younger woman had hardly slept. She declares that the lady is indeed a princess and gets her married to her son, the prince.
One wonders how few human beings, leave alone females, are as sensitive as the princess! And a woman, can she afford to be like the princess? Leave alone the fact that city bred girls who play rough sports and don metro sexual garments have no penchant for soft luxurious beds and dainty hands or backs; there is another question worthy of consideration. Is sensitivity related to the body alone? Can a woman afford to have a sensitive mind? If someone decides to make her uncomfortable can she toss and turn in her bed and complain aloud? Or would she be able to wreak royal vengeance on the perpetrators of humiliation that is dished out everywhere in private as well public?
The common (wo) man who compromises and puts up a show of complaisant normalcy lets things pass and is found everywhere. What about the princess? Is such a character around? Hello Princess!!! you there?
fell inlove with language as a student; the affair continued all through the customary situations such as college, marriage, career and motherhood. Just found one more means to continue the long term romance. Thematically, there's been loads of magic and tons of logic inmy encounter with life.Sometimes magic happens when my logic expects it the least and sometimes there's an after thought that the magic was logic after all. Shall pursue the answer to this riddle all my life,

At last you have woken up and produced a fairytale article. I do agree that sensitivity has lost its place in the world of fast-life. Today one must compromise on many a thing and an uncompromising personality is either ridiculed at or is considered an odd one out but it does not mean that one must read your story with a pinch of salt and there may be such personality alive who might respond to your clarion call. By the way I have lost the connectivity to my blog as the host has chosen to block my entry to that. I am presently trying to restore my connectivity. I shall inform you about that and in the meanwhile sorry for my going into hibernation.
