^Importantly I need to realize that I can’t wish away the people coexisting with me at home and at work. At some point, I have to learn to relate to them and get along with them. I know it is even more difficult to fit in a group of new faces than it is to fit in a pair of Jealous 21’s skinny jeans! Getting along is not a one-sided process because by doing so we’re giving something of ourselves by assuring others that we ARE concerned and willing to do things for them. And hence it is how we’re affecting somebody else’s life with our thoughts and actions. For once we need to treat people just as we would like ourselves to be treated! Personally I feel the starting step to this whole fit-me-in process would be to atleast remember NAMES of people around us and replace it with- ‘Aye you’ or ‘Hey there’! Infact I’m almost trying to get rid of my habit of distancing myself from people who despite being corrected innumerable times spell my name with a single ‘A’ instead of ‘AA’! I mean I don’t even ask you to put an extra effort to spell it from your epiglottis: P. So to all my doctors, teachers, known faces, certificate writers, pizzerias. Just dial, Flipkart etc – It is MY name and I want it to be heard just the way it is. All I want is just an A with another A placed beside it! Seriously what do I do ? Place flashing bulbs around my name ? On the contrary, I make sure to pass on a joyous smile to all those first encounter folks who spell my name correctly at the first go. :)
Thankyouverymuch. Love Double A-ed ‘Aa’yushi.
