Sometimes I think people go way too far with their attitude. And that is exactly what happened at my Maths tuition yesterday and forced me to make this post.
Yesterday was a holy day on which we give everyone a kind of thing to eat and it is called “Prasad” or “Parshad”. It’s no big deal, just some crystallized sugar stuff. So at my maths tuition, there is a deaf and dumb guy who works as a domestic help at the house of my maths teacher. We treat him as a friend and he occasionally gives us sweets and talks to us. We talk to him because we think it would be unfair if we don’t treat him as an equal. It isn’t his fault anyway is it? So yesterday, this guy was distributing the Prasad to every student who entered. While all the guys took it, some of the girls refused and this is where the major discussion in this post begins.
After I entered and took the Prasad, there entered a girl and when the guy offered her, she refused as if he was an untouchable and as if the prasad was poison. Another girl did this and it made me really sad to see them do that. I thought the guy would be feeling bad too at this inhumane treatment but his expression remained the same and I figured that he has had this happen to him a lot of times and that hurt me even more. I felt like slapping those girls hard across the face and make them take the prasad. It isn’t about the holy day or all, all of you know I don’t give one piece of shit about religion but I did that only for the guy and I feel those girls could atleast have done that too. He wasn’t being indecent with them or anything. Then came another girl and our guy offered her and she took the whole packet. This brought a smile across the guy’s face and made me very happy too. When so small a gesture can make somebody happy, why not do it?
The very interesting part of all this is that I used to think that the girls who refused were actually pretty cool and chilled out. It’s not the looks always, I thought they were pretty cool attitude-wise but turns out they weren’t. And after witnessing all this, my respect for them has definitely decreased. You can call this as judging someone based on just one experience but sometimes, one experience is enough to tell you what a person is like. On the other hand, the one who took the entire packet was considered uncool by me. She’s as pretty as the rest of them are but I thought she wasn’t cool. Turns out the other way round and I was really shocked. The question of the day is, what is the limit of this attitude thing? Don’t people just go too far sometimes?

Hey that really sucks. I often wonder where that attitude of self-promotion and self-importance comes from. I think Paris Hilton has a lot to say for herself. It irks me to no end. Especially when you get to know the “undesirables” and come to realise what amazing, intriguing, beautiful and genuine personalities they are. Sounds like these girls need some reality glasses.
I totally agree with you Anna. And I think we guys are to blame somewhere too. We make these so called hot girls feel like we can’t live without them and then they start thinking too highly of themselves and ultimately this self important behavior comes up. Someone just needs to tell them that they’re just human beings and they have no right to hurt somebody’s feelings. The day they realize this, I guess they’ll become better human beings.
People like Paris Hilton don’t realize what responsibilities they have. She’s considered to be a role model, I don’t understand why. If you ask me, she really hasn’t done anything role model like. But now that she is a role model, she needs to behave and not teach young kids bad things. We don’t want a whole generation of Paris’ on the road.
You know what’s actually wrong wid these self admired ‘cool’ gals is their acquired status of being ‘Cool’!I know so many of such kinds..!..They define being cool as defyin the ever made rules in whtever area they come across..be it school..their workplace or humanity!..Somethin tht makes them controversial is what makes them cool..huh..wht a shit!
Just like you,even i had a tym when there used to be a slight thing inside me which often used to make me feel ‘Un’cool and uncomfortable about myself on being confronted wid such gals..but now,i hav all my reasons to put them down to their levels!..I so wish we had more of people like you in society who cud respect the right kind of gals..and guys too fr tht matter..
@Priysha: Ah, you’re the first one who said there should be more people like me. My mother says she’d do anything to have somebody better than me
I totally understand what you mean by having a trouble communicating with these so called “cool” girls. They just think too highly of themselves but when you get someone who can just say a few words that can smack these girls back to the ground, it’s amazing. The look on their face is worth seeing because they just can’t face the fact that they’re just normal human beings too.
That is so true..you actually come to know the character of a person only when you see them in a situation like this. Its sad that some people don’t give a shit about others..
You’re right. It’s useless making opinions about people when you haven’t seen them behave in such situations. Seen it now, will never make the mistake again.
And thanks for stopping by
