There's a famous line from a Hindi movie song which goes like this, "Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna". Not minding their own business, they will always poke into others lives and have a say. I guess that's what being social is now-a days. That's what it meant may be when some elders used to say and even I heard in movies, aakhir rehna samaj mein hai hume. Because these people judge and have an opinion about other's lives. Today, while reading a news report on Indian express about central govt. employees pensions getting raised, I just scrolled down to read people's comments. I was literally amused to read how conveniently people complained and titled central govt. employees as useless fellows (some even used really bad words for them) and that they don't deserve it. Seriously, so amused to read that. My father too is a retired central govt. employee and I have seen him not coming home for every 4-5 months because he was posted in highlands of Kashmir (even during Kargil war), Maoist prone North-East zones. Coming home after months was a usual routine in our house. We were not blessed to see father everyday like those other civilians children do but I am so much proud of him. He has worked in extreme environments from Kashmir's minus degree temperatures to facing Rajasthan Badhmere's intense desert heat, and many others like my father in the same fashion. And when knowing all this, you read some people calling these central govt. employees names is what really disturbs you. May God give them wisdom!.
Similarly, read another news article today where MTV VJ Bani shared how people have bodyshamed her for having a muscular body. This was specially she faced in India whereas abroad she was much appreciated for her hard work-out. Without knowing anything, and mattering to the person per se, people just open their mouth to speak shit most of the times. I have seen in the IIT itself. It is expected that people in IIT are educated and therefore supposed to have common-sense, alas, they all do the same. Bicker! It seems this is their only way of having fun.
