Where's the problem??

He: "Get an attitude,gal!"

Me:"Hmm?"

He:"I mean,how can you simply talk with anyone?Kuch bhaav dikha!"

Me: (Wondering what has hit him)

He:"I'll tell you how to do it.You know,talk in jargons and metaphors,when you argue show down the other person,show that you know more..and your blog..!! Post some sense...I mean the last one you posted.."

Me: (interrupts)"Hello?Didnt you read my rights? I have the right to not make any sense :))

He: "See? That's your problem!! Take yourself seriously.Dont let people mess around with you. Get a 'no non-sense' image. I'm telling you,people value you only if you play hard to get!"

Me:See...I dont talk or post to judge or appreciate my 'value'.I do it coz I like it,and if people think I dont make sense,so be it.I'd rather spend time laughing and chatting instead of trying to pose as someone who's "Miss.Know-it-all."

He: "Sigh! You dont get it,do you? Zarine...show some attitude for God's sake!!"

Me:"Look dude..I dunno what acc. to the definition of 'attitude' is,but for me it's something which defines your persona. And if my 'attitude' is to be laughing and be buddies sorts to anyone I feel like,so be it.Exclusivity may have it's own charm,but hey,I'm not intrested in being Princess Di!So...kindly....Shut up?" :)

Hell...damned if I do,damned if I dont!!

Your last sentence sums it up..
Hell...damned if I do,damned if I dont!!
But then, I also tend to agree with the_new_cloud that attitude, more often than not, is a way to cover up rather than show off.
An interesting read,nevertheless!!

Hmmm....interesting to read some statements here. I was in a college that defined attitude as per a lot of people, but (pardon me if I sound ignorant), I still don't know what "attitude" is meant to mean!!!! Like, wtf? Does it mean being rude? Or sarcastic all the time? Or perhaps it means showing off? Or does it just mean being YOU!!!!! And being comfortable being you!!!!

I find most people unable to define "attitude". Indeed, I have yet to come across someone who can define what he or she means by this usage of the word.......It's something like "Fountainhead". People like that crappy piece of trash coz "you're supposed to like it", Personally I find most people privately admit they were bored to death readin it. I was too. Attitude seems similar......u use the word and want to have it coz "you should have it". Mad rush.....stupid people.....

Hmm..attitude..isn't it the way you carry yourself? What you actually project to the world? The thing is certain features have been identified as the 'cool ones'.So you have a 'cool attitude' if you posess these.Showing off,talking in high funda lang and the likes come under these.

I agree with Manish and Sameer that often people try to make up for their lack of knowledge by having a snobbish air abt them,so tht none really bothers them and in turn discovers their actual content ;)

Umm Mike,agreed many people pretend to have 'it',just the way they applaud 'The Fountainhead' coz if they didnt they would be asked "Why not?",and more often than not,people dunno what to say :).So better comply than contradict. :)

Dunno mademoiselle......more than the urge "to comply rahter than contradict", I think it is the innate human hunger for appreciation and the dislike for being perceived as different.....

As for the definition of "attitude", I have been told by people that I "have an attitude". Attitude as per your definition is something that every1 has. However that then belies the fact that people say that "either you have an attitude or you don't". IMHO, it's just become a piece of jargon!!!!!!!!

Principle 1.

Waiting for returns somehow robs life of its precious moments.Return of a loved one,return of a gesture,return of a call,a SMS,return of the Jedi..err,tht's getting too much. Waiting for something big,eventful to happen.It never really does happen,does it? Setting huge long term goals,looking at the big picture,thinking about the future...bah...aint it boring? I never believed in planning,coz they never worked for me.All the plans I've made so far have met the same success as fish living in a frost free fridge.And the analogies I make these days suck as the Microsoft Products do.And am not talking abt their vacuum cleaner.Old joke,I know. So,what's the point in giving ourselves the false hope of a security and control when nothing happens as per the plans? The level of comfort it brings might be a good carrot,but it's as comfortable as lying on a rock and imagining you are on cloud nine.This was bad too,I agree.Thank you. I've decided to take lil decisions everyday.

Killer V.

Vengeance is a powerful driver. It takes you over and makes you lose sight of sense. To give back as you got it gives one a sense of Power. The power to make/mar someone's life. In the heat of the moment - when the other person is at 'your' mercy - you have to make the call. Pull the trigger or let him go. All those past moments flash in your mind, hormones start racing your heart and you pull the trigger. Peace. Its over. Or is it a begining of a tumultous future? I have seen people take revenge. I remember that smile on their face and their emotionless eyes. Some people hurt/kill others to remove all that symbolised a painful past. They think by removing that person, they can shrug off their past. Or if they give that person his 'due', they'd feel better. It's been a while since I saw someone, who destroyed/spoiled someone else's life, lead a peaceful life himself. Has anyone of you witnessed this? Not taking revenge is considered a sign of cowardlines

Principle 4.

Before I forget,hello...am not on a preaching program!!! I already mentioned in mah Principle 1 post that these were the lil rules I was setting for MYSELF.Read that again.MYSELF.For Zarine. Toh dont blame/criticise me if you dont find them fit for yourself...and btw,after Princi 1,I've stopped listening ;). And now the last(!!) principle for this season.Once winter strikes in 2 months,we'll (I,me and myself) will be back with a new set of the same :D. Dont carry it too far.Yepes,that's the princi 4.I was thinking...would it be better to frame it as "Draw your lines",but for those who arnt artistically gifted,I wont make much sense.But,hey,wasnt I writing these for myself? Whatever. What you give to a relation.What you demand from it.What you expect from the Indian cricket team.What you expect from the Meteorological Dept.What you expect from Airtel (Grrrrrr).And the likes.Dont let it cross the rational limits.Airtel service personnel believe in Hutch.High time I
