Time goes like anything, it was like yesterday that we had just started taking our first step, mom's open arms, dad's protected love, and all the pampered life which we lived was like it had just happened seconds before. Then what changed us all in such a manner that we forgot our very ethics, our culture, and our values all together ??
It was 23rd of November 2014 , I saw her crying in the college campus; I asked her what had happened. She was too reluctant to tell me, still I emphasized on knowing her more. After about 20 minutes she started telling me .... and it goes like ...
.
" Am I so bad ?? Is there nothing called friendship ?? Is it all because you have to project yourself to be too good among your peers ?? I came to this college with a hope of making new bonds, learning new things, learning life in a better sense...is this all i am going to get ?? " .. I was not getting a single word of what she was telling me ... still I kept on listening.... " I came here with hopes of better future ... and not to be insulted and back bitched about. Friends I thght who were my friends were never my friends .... They behave really good in front of you; but behind your back they go n bitch about !! " ... I was shocked .. boys n back bitching sounded weird... "They talk when girls smoke, they talk when girls drink... but who are they to create a discrimination about it .. ?? Will they be back bitching about their family as well .. ?? " There was a pause of about 5 mins and I really had no answers to her questions..
I asked her could she give me more details ...
She continued ...
" I smoke because someone real close to me hurt me .. I am trying to overcome that ... Its not like you buy me a cigarette n u get me ..."
I was still confused ..
"People think that a girl who is smoking or drinking ... she must be too open to deal with anything, I rarely find peace here ... If she talks with someone doesn't mean that she is a talk of the town..."
I was now getting what she wanted to tell... She lighted her cigarette n just walked away ... and I thought .... the girl had indeed highlighted a good thought in my life...
People undergo a change; they change for good and they change for bad.
But, does anyone change so much that they forget their ethics and values ??
We always see the things we are, if we are clean we regard the world to be clean and pure, but is world really clean... is a food for thought.
People talk, gossip and spread things .... they say it's up to us whether we get affected or not ... but in life there is a thing called threshold... and then come's a stagnation point where you cannot accept the WRONG !! And then you eventually come to a conclusion that in this glittery world full of glamour and show there are just 2 types of people ... bad and very bad ... and if you chose not to be either of them n be a spectator .. well they'll use u physically , or through their words and ruin your happy and small content world !!
