???

why do we have etiquttes and 'manners'? why do we have to follow them even wen we dont feel like it ?
Ever felt lik " i wanna be myself" .. seen ppl fritter and get fidgety wen they know that they are being 'watched' and trying (pathetically) to do wat they have been TAUGHT is right ! why ?

Let me live the way I want to live. I dont feel lik saying 'good morning' to every moron I meet in office. No i dont feel lik holding the lift so that the obnoxious looking fat guy can delay me another 30 seconds (!!) and I dont want to send 'formal' mails to my manager even though he sits a stones throw away from me .. ( i know coz I have contemplated throwing that STONE at him ! )

Why do we have to wear blazers, full sleeve shirts and shoes (with socks) for interviews ? (if the interviewers are impressed by that why dont they also wear that shit to the interview room ??)

Why do some tasks always have a 'right' way of doing it ??

AND : why do I suffer from an acute hair loss even after trying al 'solutions' ??

I wonder I wonder ... I am still wondering ..

ps: lucky me that there is no 'right' way to blog ... or is there ? (who the hell cares anyway !)

its all about impressions my man... its all about false impressions.... u gotta wear blazers to make the interviewers feel u r pakka managerial material.... u gotta say good morning to reflect a positive attitude in u.....

everyone hates doin these things but then everyone does it.... todays world is all about fake smiles n "hope u r fine"s when what u really mean is "die bitch dieeee" hehehehe

anyways we r all in the same boat n its real nice to be able to spend time with close friends like u when one can forget all niceties n just be oneself.....

@anilu: impressions .. 'its better to be hated for wat u are than to be loved for wat u are not " !!

Hey "a smile" "a good morning" may change the mood of the person at the receiving end...it costs you nothing..And regarding the attire in the interview..Have you ever thought why people wear tie..(Am not talking about the looks..necessity ..Some science will be involved...) don't you think so ??

i agree.. its too tough to eat the right way.. to speak the right words.. its so tough.. i prefer not doing it the right way.. i have read there is a right way to blog too.. but no one sues us we dont follow it.. thats the only difference..

@megha : etiquette only prevents the person from farting out LOUD .. but the fragrance remains .. so .. (I rest my case!)

good example though ..
