Here are 10 Things..

..(in no particular order) which seem to test my patience or to be more precise, prove the absence of it.

  • My low tolerance with a select few people & they are very few.... I think I give pretty enough room to everyone. But there are a few people I just can't seem to get along with. Guess you can blame it on bad vibes. Oh, I try so hard but my body-language just gives me away!! I am very bad in hiding my feelings. Everyone around me knows what my current mood is.. I make sure that they do.. ;-) Anyways I still have to pretend to 'not dislike' them, even though I know that they know :-(
  • Those 'well-intentioned' relatives who just can't seem to think of anything else but you & your family's happiness. But in reality are always jealous with your happiness.
  • People who oppose you just for the heck of it. Especially the stubborn ones who won't even listen to what the other person has to say.
  • Arranged marriages where the girl is expected to be beautiful, intelligent, smart, educated, a great cook, an obedient daughter-in-law, a perfect home-maker with a good career, an ideal wife & to top it all bring in loads of dowry!!
  • People who are always bragging about something or the other. I know some who are 'pro' in this.
  • People who get bored in their own company. They get bored too easily and in the process bore others too. It takes a huge effort to stay away from their boredom, even if you are someone whoz pretty excited yourself most of the times.
  • People who are always late for meetings, appointments - formal or informal. Hey do whatever you want with your own time but please do respect others.
  • COLD!! And not the weather 'cold' but the sickness 'cold'. Oh it has been a constant companion of mine as long as I can remember.
  • Movies which try to justify extra martial affairs. Sorry guys.. i can't understand that.. like in 'The English Patient', the love between the lead pair may have been great but i couldn't understand the heroine cheating on her husband.. why was she not happy?? It wasn't as if he didn't love her. How can one love be great and another trivial?
  • My wonderfully "choosy'n'forgetful" memory - some things I can't forget and some things I just can't seem to remember. And there's no pattern in there. Just random.
You know, thinking about these 10 things was so difficult.. it nearly tested my patience.. I was about to leave it in between.. but then I guess I am patient enough.. ;-)

Ahem the one that stood out was movies touting extra marital affairs..
Well I also get irritated with them.. But Ashu i dont think we can ever find reasons into it..
See when Martians and Venusians start co habitating.. I think reason goes for a toss...
So just take it at face value.. and dont get very irritated.
On a second thot.. Think about it Ashu.. given a choice.. Can u choose between 2 very gud frn of urs wid whom u hav to lead ur life?
Tough choice rite..
U wud b happy wid one..
U wud b equally happy wid the other..
But if u do choose one it gives room for an 'extra marital'(if we can use tht word) wid ur other frn rite?
What say?

--Prakash: Thank you

--Amu: Yeah I know. It's difficult to think of a situation unless u r there but from where i stand now, i don't like it one bit. Regarding choosing between 2 friends i m sure it wud be a difficult choice but once a decision has been made, shouldn't ppl stick to that!! Scope for an affair is always there.. its how u see things.
