Humans are intruding by nature. We like to poke our noses in other people's business. From famous film stars, business tycoons to even our neighbors or friends, we want to know it all, especially when it’s a tragedy or not so good kind of experience. Probably that’s the reason why stuff like Pune times and other gossip journals are so popular among people. Most people say it’s the way of Indians but I somehow feel it’s a basic tendency of all the sapiens.
Well the matter itself is quite intriguing and the nature is even more and probably that’s the reason I just couldn’t stop myself to pen errr blog it down.
Why should be the question that comes when I think about this. Why are we so interested in other people's life. Well I can literally divide people in categories just on this "why".
First ones are probably like me. I call them as "always bored peeps”. They are so bored of their monotonous life that they think this intruding will get some unexpectedness in their daily regime and probably might get some flavor from others. In short just looking for not so expected and usual.
The second ones are the the worst ones. I call them "saas bahu" types. Their driving force is jealousy. They are more interested in other's life than their own. They love when a tragedy happens to some ones else's life and if he/she is your colleague the better. Well I don’t think i need to explain more on this as to visualize these kind of people you can imagine all the vamps in Ekta kapoor's soaps. My "saas bahu" category icons i must say.
The third one is a rare specie. We can call them as "Gandalf of LOTR" These people are genuinely interested in knowing about others so that they can help the needy. Like the saviors. Always ready to give a helping hand and do some good for the society. Though I would love myself to be called as the Gandalf types but that would be butchery of the name.
Generally a person can be divided in these categories only but sometimes it depends on situations too.People do behave and react differently at different times and sometimes they are driven by other factors too.Thus there is a possibility that one can belong to one category at one time or the other one in some other time purely based on ones condition.
IMO if we think that it’s in our nature to be intruding then why can’t we convert this intruding nature into a concerned behavior.Why can’t we move more into the third type i not always then most of the times,so this intruding isn’t so intruding and becomes more of a concern, a bonhomie.
As they say in Hindi Rai and Chai sab de dete hain, Interrupting and Intervening thats what we Human beings are, Good that yu brought it up!!
