How much I hate those who ask the obvious is inexplicable and I really cannot quantify the hatred for such people.Now this hatred of mine if I recollect started way back during my school days and got fortified over the years once poeple started getting more interested in knowing my future than me or my family. I blame our social system for this and too some extent ourselves for letting people trespass our privacy and taking the liberty to dig deep into our personal lives...Boss why can't you lead your own and let me lead mine???
It all started with bumping into people on the road while going to school...On one hand you are rushing down the road to catch your school bus and on the other you find the so called neighbourhood uncle with a wicked pan stained smile asking you "so going to school"? Now this question is asked inspite of seeing me in the school uniform and having himself dropped his son to the bus stop for school...I felt like replying "no uncle am just going to the fancy dress competiton dressed as a school student" but the forced respect that our social and family system taught us made me refrain from answering him this way..
Then when you would have just reached 12th standard you will have a host of people visting your house and then asking "so thinking of a career now"?...Obvious yet they ask it so that the moment you say yes they have their advice ready for you on how to choose a career although their own son had to ultimately open up a shop failing to make a career for himself...This is not all though as at every step of life you will encounter such persons and the stupidity of their questions is direclty proportional to your moving forward in life..The moment you finish your higher education comes the inevitable question "now must be looking for a good job"? At this point you feel like replying back "no I only got this degree so that I could ask your daughters hand in marriage instead"...Offcourse someone who has invested time and money both to get his higher education would definately have a career goal in mind and its nothing to be asked but no we cannot stop poking our nose into others asses...
How I wish these people would change but no they have their clones everywhere and I suppose all of us have to tolerate them at some point in our life as they are thick skinned and would probably never change...What an irony!!
