Self absorbed zombies

An incident happened with me which made me furious.

I was in my office cafeteria. I was standing in the queue to collect coffee in my own coffee mug. I do not use the office mugs because of hygiene reasons. A man stood ahead of me. He was carrying his bagpack. I stood atleast 20 inches away from him. Suddenly this man decided to swing his bagpack. He swung it hard and it hit me. His bag hit my hand forcefully, hurting my hand. Due to the impact the mug from my hand fell down and broke. A train of "sorry" followed after.

This led me thinking, was he not aware that he was in a queue? Was he not aware that people were around him? Or simply he was self absorbed?

In social situations, everybody is expected to be aware. However, nowadays we are seeing such zombies who are completely self absorbed and unaware of social circumstances.

What do I want to put on display when I post a selfie? Is it a new dress? New accessories? Outfit idea? Rings? Earrings? All of them? None of them? It depends. For me, selfie is a self expression. It is an art.

Life and death

Image
It was a Sunday afternoon. Everything was quiet. Everyone was enjoying their siesta.  I had my coffee. After that I stood in the balcony. I saw a crow who was struggling to pick up something heavy. I continue to observe the crow. Later, I noticed that crow was dragging the dead body of a pigeon. I was shocked to see that. I thought to myself, Are crows cannibals? Will the crew eat another bird? They do belong to the same species, so will the crow eat the pigeon? Soon, all my questions were answered. I saw that the crow dragged the dead body of a pigeon to a car and started to eat the dead pigeon. There were many crows surrounding this particular crow. They were waiting for their turn to eat the pigeon. Soon the crows were distracted. The reason for their distraction was a cat passing nearby. The crows saw the cat and started flying. The cat ventured near the dead pigeon, probably sniffed the pigeon. Then the cat left from the scene. The crows returned to the scene and started eating th

Not a friendly face

Image
I often get told that I do not have a friendly face. Looking at my face, people often tell me that I look very strict. If I don't smile, I appear to be unapproachable. I have been told throughout my career that I look unapproachable. I look strict and that is why I look scary people are afraid to approach me because the way I look. This is purely based on how I look. They don't even bother to interact with me to decide whether I am approachable or I am unfriendly. Based on how I look, I am easily judged as strict unfriendly or unapproachable. The reality is quite contradicting to their judgement. I do not need to say anything in addition to that. That leads me to several questions which are an answer till date. Unapproachable, what does that exactly mean? Unfriendly, what does that mean as well? How do you label somebody as unapproachable or unfriendly just by looking at their face? What happened with "Don't judge the book by its cover"? What happened to "bea
