When blessed get rights to bless...

In India it's customary to get blessing from their elders. Legendary tales say that while a person seeking blessings touch the elders feet and elders hand on top of seekers head, it offers a means to transfer the powers from elders to seekers.

I am not sure of what power can be gained, but there are 3 such scenarios where I have felt I gained / got transfered something while seeking blessings. Being the youngest in my generation, seeking the blessings is not an unusual thing. However, on the day I got married, two young brother in laws seek my blessings.

For the first time, I really felt honored, proud, different .. blah blah blah. Though that moment was quite fulfilling, may be I need to seek means to transfer my powers while blessing with whole hearted than feeling happy about it. :-)
