Small things BIG difference!!

05 things that irritate me about people:



->> People who give very little respect to other’s feelings and are to the least bit empathetic. Such people live in a parallel universe, I guess, because they want respect but they just can’t seem to treat others in social manner. For eg: I have seen people do not respect certain kinds of jobs. I can keep a maid in the house. Get my house “cleaned” by her but I somehow can’t allow her to sit on the chair or eat in the same utensils (which she’ll of course wash) or I can make the waiters run around for my order but can’t seem to smile at him. I mean is it below dignity to appreciate other’s work??!!

->> Then there are people who don’t say THANK YOU, basic manners which we are taught in kindergarten. Or even those who won’t hold the door for you when they are walking through right in front of you. And I mean girls as well. So, you keep the door open for the next person walking in and the other person says thank you for the gesture. Is it so tough to understand??!!

->> Then there are people who think very highly of themselves. Okay so you have landed a high-flyer job and are ‘uncle scrooge-swimming in money’ but you still can’t go around throwing your attitude. People have the general tendency to stare and throw their weight around even when they don’t know the ‘saamne-waala’.. And sometimes people don’t even have the above high-flyer job or the money to swim in still they’ll throw truck loads of attitude.. DUH!!

->> One bit about guys here – Guys who can’t stop staring at a woman at the wrong place **even while talking** should get a grip. Please go and drool someplace else. I have a face and I like being talked eye to eye… So do you mind??!!!

->> I talk a lot and I generally like to tell about myself or my day or what happened before which was oh-so-funny and I don’t mind hanging out with just guys and I don’t mind cracking jokes with them and laughing out loud and I like occasional partying to unwind and I love dressing up. But that does not mean m trying to get attention or I probably smoke and dope and get drunk every night or I have had at least 10 boyfriends..!!! People should stop judging. I have realized that when we make initial opinions about some people we could be so wrong about them and we could actually like that person and be good friends. Give it a thought.

05 things I like about people or at least would like to see in people:




->> Smiles!! I love people who smile or laugh.. Tell them a joke and they give the correct kind of response. The bright smile makes your day and trust me everybody likes to be around such people.. It never hurts to smile at even strangers (of course you should not land up giving some naughty signals)!!

->> Helpful people. They are very few. At least in today’s world; very rare. I don’t mean that one should go out of their way to help someone but a small gesture of showing that you care about the other person and are willing to extend a hand is more than enough. It gives a sense of security to others..

->> I like it when people stay in touch. For months maybe you won’t find time to talk because of busy schedules but one day you just surprise a friend by giving a call and saying hi!! It’s the best feeling ever. I genuinely feel happy for the whole day and m assured that I have made some good friends along..

->> Somehow I like people who take time to get friendly and know the other person. Instant friendships never made sense to me. When people take initiative to know the other person, talk, laugh together, share memories, and listen to each other’s stories… basically be a part of someone’s life… Close friends can really make a difference in life!!

->> Its nice to be with a person who is caring. Not over caring – as in to the point of irritation. But someone who makes sure that you are fine, if u need anything, or holds your hand while crossing the road, or looks out for you if some danger is sensed, tells u when your hair seems funny and sets it for you… (and I mean a girl being caring for a girl as well and not just the boy-girl equation)


These are small little things in life. But they make a lot of difference and one realizes that likeability quotient sometimes is based on these minute details and not on superficial things. But then these are totally based on my opinion!!! You could have your irritating and happy moments.
