Acquaintances

"Acquaintance" a mess to have one!!

this is the one thin line (or a heavy word) that separates friends & strangers!

these are the people who you wish you could ignore, but can't do that, because your doing that may upset them, and unlike friends, you can't expect them to understand, and unlike strangers, you can't have an I-care-a-fart attitude towards them!!

Such people are really difficult to handle, especially if you are a no-nonsense kind of girl like I am!

If I can't stand person,I really can't stand them, and if I find a person OK, well then, it's just OK!

But acquaintances!!

ow!!

Best est examples are people like your mum n dad's colleagues, or worse..

their kids!

an ache to be with..

Every time i come face to face with them, all i remember is my mum telling me how prodigal these kids are and what an embarrassment I am!!
yeah, i get clumsy at times, but my "manners" are never far from me!!
another example is that of heavily-interfering "neighbours"

like, well, this uncle(why cant we just call them by their surname? like Mr.*whteva"), I met yesterday,

he looks at me and says, "Anaya going to college does not imply you need to become a beauty pageant contestant, trying to go slim, it should be like there should be pits as you walk, and people should say things like 'Anaya walked this road'!! eat something, you need to be healthy "

I just said a "yes" and walked off, but what I really wanted to say was, "like you care! duh!"

A simple explanation to this attitude of mine is that I my stomach was screaming with hunger as I had just returned from classes and despite that, my mommy dearest sent me to a *very important* errand of hers!!

and then, its my weight I am losing, not yours!!

And there are so many better ways of making people talk about you, and making pits on the road is not exactly my claim to fame,

and in case if you haven't noticed, Indian roads have enough pits in them...

well, of the so many things I want out of my life, this category tops the list!
so congrats!

please be sure to collect your price money of a final wave and get out!

in fact...

on reconsideration...

GET A LIFE!!
