Having fun at someone's expense! sounds creepy and mean isn't it, but there are loads of (in)humane beings doing that every day, for years, on and on ...
Making fun of someone's physical appearance is the one of the meanest and cheapest thing a human being can do. After all god has been given us the physical appearance and we cannot claim the credit of being beautiful nor can we be admonished for being 'not so beautiful'. As they say, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and everyone is beautiful in their own way.
Who is flawless? well none! but why do some poeple (actually most) do not understand this and can't stop themselves from pointing out someone's physical appearance and don't even realize that they are actually hurting the other person. Isn't this inhumane to be cynical for no reason.
This thought has crossed my mind, several times in all these years, i had been ridiculed during my school and college days with questions like do you even eat, how come you don't fly when heavy wind blows and doesn't your bones prick you; i mean come on, what do they achieve by saying these things except for hurting the concerned person's feelings and may be even do damage for their self-confidence, initially these things used to hurt and later i realized to ignore such people, and in the process i have now realized that i have secluded myself in the quest to avoid such people (loads of them in my aparatment colony!) and find myself without many acquaintances, leave alone friends within the apartment complex!
Why am i talking about all this suddenly today, well day before yesterday my sister wore the saree i had gifted to her this Deepvali, she was looking nice and fine and looked beautiful to me, well to some of those nosy, mean neighbours it was a chance to spill venom yet again to bring down our high spirits as they shouted out to her saying 'please take care as it is windy today, coz you may fly away!' i mean .. come on .. grow up, don't you have common sense, how can some just fly away!, you have better jobs to do, than just lounge around in the corridor , gossiping away, i seriously wish they had something to do, and that too from people who are no beauty queens themselves by no means, when will this syndrome end, god knows, i have learnt to tackled it one sure strong way - IGNORE, even if you shot back, their habit of mocking at others, gets an impetus feeding on the reaction!
here is the outfit picture of her , isn't she looking nice and pretty, i am not saying this just because she is my sister, but because i firmly believe that she is beautiful, due to the fact that everyone is beautiful, and for you see to it, you need to have a beautiful heart ...
I have been telling Adithi to snub back at anyone who makes fun of her physcial appearance, something like you are lean, oh so small and so on, and never take any of it to heart, she seems to have understood and shot back at one of their annoying nosy neighbour who commented on her when she was on the swing; Here is their conversation ....
Adithi, you seem to be so small please do not swing so fast, lest you may fly away, see my son (name not mentioned out of kindness as i do not intend to return the mean attitude shown by them!) is of same age as you and is so hale and healthy (i might as well say big and plump if you are talking of dimensions!) for which Adithi said, i am not small its just that your son is too big for his age, hence looks bigger than me! God , i know it is bit sadistic, but wasn't i happy to hear this, i was, i really was, as i realized that my daughter is now ready to take on the big bad mean world of nosy gossip mongers and cheap teasers! Thank God!
