Is appearance really an indication of the person you are? While as a college goer almost twelve years ago I would have agreed. Today however I stand to hold a much different point of view. Due to the circumstances I am in I tend to dress differently now and many teenagers who do not know me, when they see me in a sari give those looks at public places like malls, salons or at a social gathering, as though I am the sterotyped (grudge…grr..)typical TV serial household woman who doesn’t bother much about outside world other than her home.
What a pity I feel that even the most well versed and outgoing personalities, feel appearance is an indication of the person he or she is.
Trust me from my own experience I have slowly learnt not to judge people at the first interaction. Somehow I have felt unless a few conversations happen or interactions take place at different places one cannot know how a person thinks or behaves just by the way they dress up. This is become true even when I have seen in the past some of my hubby’s foreign language’s classmates dress up in the most fashionable attire and are very simple at heart or even conservative while dealing wiht certain issues.
well if annybody has anything to say on this do write to me.
i came across your blog as I was trying to get to know a little more about you after reading your article Tell Me How in Hindu which appeared on Nov 1. I am enjoying reading your General Thoughts, it is true on how we judge people on their appearances which should not be the case as it is indeed pretty shallow.
