Odour of OD

There are two kinds of government officials I knew.

One will be obedient and friendly. A sign for the demand of smiling Bapus for nothing. If he smiles more, it means more smiles of Bapu are needed. According to my brother's observation, he/she will be in surf-excel white khaddar shirt/saree, chewing the pan in the most ugliest way and will ask you for a talk at the tea shop nearby. But I don't quite agree with my brother, for I was surprised by a most simple and honest looking person recently.

Other kind are sulky in their own way, making you run around the departments and at the last, showing the timings sign board, even if you get delayed by a minute just to satisfy their provoked feelings and insults from the higher officials or from the family. There will be a bunch of them, who will be ready to laugh at you, for the unnoticeable things like an unbuttoned collar, worn out knee or a common misspelling. Their general feeling is that, their job is not their responsibility but just out of their kindness and pity, they are doing you this favor.

The fame game

I had quite fun taunting my colleagues. Actually that wasn't my motif when I commented on that Fwd "No God, Know God". But as it went on, I felt interested and loved replying to comments. From this exchange of messages, I found out, there are people, who want to be included in the discussion, which is not of their understanding, for which, they don't have anything to contribute. They finally do it by saying, we must stop the discussion, otherwise it would lead to something intolerable. They stop it forcibly. Childish minds!

That was when I realised, that this group is yet another fools' paradise.
