My new job is giving me a lot insight into the lives of people around, urbane, educated and working for development sector. This is a combination which is quite complicated. U r judged about everything. About ur dress, ur shoes, ur speech, ur english, ur food, ur origin, ur husband, his job, ur education, the course u took at college, the institute u went to...list is endless. People have time to think about this and throw a judgement. The more I am moving out of the mindset that education doesnt matter for those who wish to do something good for change or that the NGO business is not the social work benchmark....the more i see people are caught in these beliefs. Why are there these strange things like...if u r an NGO person or an activist u r contradicting ur image by putting Bindi or sindur etc. How does it matter? And these things r a matter of culture..those who want to do it should be let to do.
Every second person is bitching about someone or the other. And looking for approval towards that judgement. If u dont give approval u r diplomatic. If u give u r in... And makes me feel Ekta Kapoor's serials were not so bad in showing people scheming or stuck in life for episodes running into 5 years. Here I feel the episode would never end. People are judgemental about very silly things. Yes, we can call it office gossip but sometimes it drains ur head and u become junk. U feel is there nothing else to talk or think about. One day they are all hearty and lively with u and the other day that warmth just diminishes and disappears. We are more and more away from facing the mirror on daily basis except to look good. We are more n more away from simple joys and conversations of life that would refresh us...we are more n more complicated in the way we deal with this world.
We are more n more in the sly company of people who dont really care.
Thanks to the author of the book as i borrowed the title. We should not fail to give credits :)

the best option is to enjoy.. listen, smile, keep it in your head and use it appropriately when time comes.. Its great to see people contradicting what they usually say..
You'll get used to it and create your own rules. Like everything in life, it's a choice you make . Do what you feel happy doing and forget what people think. You will always carry a stereotype, or create your own group or be a solitary reaper...in the end, it's your choice.
