Why are people still so stereotyped!!!???

Today i viewed a sociological aspect at the Chennai Airport. Well being a sociology student , to me now nothing is like ” OMG!!!! This actually happened!!?? :O ” . Now i simply feel ” I guess this is sociology ” .

Well my family and i were at the Chennai Airport , talking to my sister outside as we were well before schedule. As we were talking , a transgender passed us and was talking to the security. He , [ and I'm saying that as the face and shoulder build was male ]  did not have his ticket as his colleague [ i assume ] . The security lady was asking him a lot of questions , i guess after seeing his passport. It surprised me how , transgenders alone need to face all that and not us!!! I mean literally 5 mins of questions n answers. Then his colleague finally came and gave the ticket and he was allowed in.

I went a little closer to the door to search for my dad when i heard the lady talk about him. She just randomly commented saying , ” in the passport everything that says about his male , but he acts like a female “. She mimicked him and started laughingly. I was amused and irritated at the same time.  To a normal person , they would also laugh along , but to a sociology student , it’s a whole different perspective. I looked at this from a complete sociological perspective. I thought , i can’t believe people were still so stereotyped.

That transgender was quiet educated , i guess was flying on work , decent and well dressed. He was quiet poised and did not behave in the usual way we see most of the transgenders. I mean what different does it make of who they are. Is it not a FACT that they are still HUMAN BEINGS!!!!??? Why the freaking DISCRIMINATION!!!?? Yes of course may times they may come across to be an irritation , but even so , they are NOT a BAD OMEN!!! Then why do we treat them so??? Why can’t we give them a chance to be who they are?? Treat them as our equals?? The difference between them and us is ONLY the way they are OUTSIDE!! But given  a chance and if we observe , they most certainly can do EVERYTHING we can and CAN be our EQUALS!!! If only they were given a chance!!!!!

Well , i feel this is a matter that greatly needs to be looked upon. If only we start looking at the things differently , stereotypes will become non- existent.

 

Ever since I met Sami…

I met sami on august 18th 2010 at my cousins wedding. I used to be a girl of million and more words. But as i came off age it reduced. I hardly spoke to anyone. Mostly i was with my phone but even that just seeing old msgs of my loved one. * sigh * As most of the time i was alone, sami used to come sit by my side and talk. I never knew what to talk to him. But his few talks used to amuse me. It used to take my mind away from things i didn’t want to think but could not stop thinking. Somehow there was something in him that brought back the old self in me. I always felt at ease when he was with me. I just could keep talking to him. We started our friendship from there. We started off with Facebook chats , then went on to mobile texts and then phone calls.

 

When we first started talking on texts , i never felt all the close to him. But he used to text me every single day in the evening. It felt good at times that someone thought of me and wanted to speak to me. That slowly went on to hours of texting and then started off with sharing personal things [ from love life to general stuff to sex to everything ] . We never really felt awkward even for a second. Because it was to us a diversity of topics. I twas never for us like a girl and guy should talk only this kind of topics and not that cause people might think bad. Then the phone calls started. It started off when once he was quiet upset about something and was crying. I could not bear to see him like that and called him. That was the first time we spoke. This is how i friendship grew and we became really really really close. I really dunno about him. But i speak to a lot of guys. Sami is the first guy who i felt , I could TRUST him POSITIVELY with WHOLE heart. I have no clue if he shared everything with me or only some things but i shared each and every thing with him. Everyday , it so happened that whether he texted me or not , i texted him if something happened to me or any of my friends. If i had any problems he was the FIRST person i went to. I used to cry to him many a times and he always , and im dead serious , he ALWAYS used to make me smile or rather LAUGH!!!! Only he could do it so fast. Anyone else would just give up even trying.

Sami soon became a very important part of my life. I just wanted to keep talking to him everyday. He was the most patient with me. He used to listen to every single one of my non sense. If the topic or situation was serious , he used to make it funny and ease my tension. If it was a general or a funny topic , he just used to make it funnier. He was [ touchwood ] ALWAYS and i mean ALWAYS a really HAPPY person. He was just ALL THE TIME smiling man!!!! At times his smile would irritate you but also make you smile at the same time.

For me it was impossible to get angry on him as much as i tried!!!! :O But he is the sweetest and the SECOND best thing that happened to me. Now , at present i always always and ALWAYS only think about him, [ and as usual people are suspecting me. Impossible man these people are!!!! ( from parents to friends ) ] . Thinking about sami makes me happy , gives me peace , puts all my fears and sorrows away. Just hearing his voice , forget that!! even seeing his smile takes me to a whole another world!!!! To me he is like an angel sent from GOD. I just can keep talking about him on and on.

It’s 9 months since i know him and for  all that he’s done for me these  months , anything i do and say is just not enough to thank him. I really don’t want to lose Sami to anyone or anything in my life. So all this is what has happened ever since I MET SAMI!!!!! ;(

Salsa the Master B’s way!!! ;)

Well after 3 weeks of HIP HOP which ended quiet DISASTROUSLY!!! I moved on now to SALSA!!! finally , what i’ve been waiting for. I did try salsa twice before and it was kinda easy. But when my master did it… the only thing I did was let my jaw drop! My master , Balaji anna. I was all excited when he started off. But i have no clue why i found even the basic step tough to catch on. I don’t know if i just didn’t get it or i was too cautious of how i was dancing this particular dance???!!!But when my master started his moves….. i was like OMFG!!!!! His grace , that flair , the way he did the steps , everything…. EVERYTHING,was sooooooooooooo PERFECT!!!. It was wonderful to see. All i could do was just stare. From his hands to his hips and to the leg everything was just AWESOME!!! I immediately got a complete complex of ” I CAN NEVER DANCE LIKE HIM!!!” and became very cautious in my every move which made only things worse!!! The only thing that was running in my mind was ” How can anna dance like this?? so flawless and effortlessly??” He was a natural!!! I could only feel myself shrinking next to him instead of pucking up the courage to be bold and dance as well as he does. But yes!!! I have decided… if im gonna be PERFECT in SALSA , it’s going to be the MASTER B’s WAY!!!!!  

My passion – A HEAVEN!!!??

Well i was kinda of mood off the whole day yesterday and it was time for my dance class. With the kind of MESS i was having in my mind , i prayed that i focus and dance well today as it was time for PERFECTION to take it’s place. I stood by the window , thinking random things. I did not notice my sir come in or tap his feet in order to get my attention. I only realised moment’s later that he was present in the room. I apologised sheepishly and the class began. He sensed something wrong in me but did not ask me until the end. My mind was not focused even when started off with the stretches. I was starting to worry that i would probably be screamed at any moment. But thankfully the moment we started to DANCE , things changed. My mind went clear, i was more happy and focused. It was strange but it happened. I wondered at THAT moment if it was the DANCE STUDIO that caused this change or DANCE ITSELF!!?? Whatever was the cause , being there was sure like being in HEAVEN!!! I was starting to wish the classes would be an hour longer!!! That’s how my dance and the studio make me feel.. ATTACHED , HAPPY AND HEAVEN!!!

Short Story Slam – Week 2

In the west side of Texas , there was a man called Naxi. He was the sheriff of that town. On the job for 20 years , he was known for his bravery , dignity , perfection and his fabulous work! One day he was riding his horse down the slope from his house. As he looked around he saw a slight disturbance behind the nearby tree. Within a flash a wild stallion shot by him. Doing nothing and expressionless , Naxi sat on his horse and watched the horse gallop past. His one hand on his hip and the other ready to take the lasso… Naxi waited for the right moment. He then charged behind the horse. Lasso at the read he threw it around the horse as if i were a saddle. Within minutes and without strangling the horse Naxi got the horse in control. He at first thought of letting it back loose in the wild. He then thought better of it and took it back to his stables.

A young girl from the town has witnessed all this. Fortunatly for her she had a camera in her hand. She captured Naxi’s photo just minutes before he began to charge at the stallion.

A Dream to Remember…

I had a dream this morning [ and morning dreams are supposed to come true.. right? But this one is far from it!! ]. It was something so similar to the climax of the book ” PROPHECY : THE RISE OF THE SWORD “ written by ” PRIYA K “ [ a senior in my college ]

My dream started off with me in a place on the beach. I guess it was a guest house and all of us [ students , some who i knew and some who i didn't ]were chilling out since it was summer hols. I have no clue where this scene suddenly came from. I was in A/V Room and i found the ” GODS “ , and strangely just they didn’t  have names , sitting around the room , their eyes fixed sternly on me. In my dream the ‘ MAIN GOD” was not seen. I only saw the 3 brothers of that God. Strangely , i seemed to be [ already ] quiet close to one of them [ he was cute too ] [ I'll just call him ' My friend' ] Well the news came to me that , I was somehow the ” AVENGED ONE “  :( :O [ for reasons unknown ]. I had apparently done something to offend the gods. They challenged me to a fight. Me , who doesn’t take SHIT from anyone not even THE GODS agreed for it. The challenge was : I needed to save the people. From what : Cyclone.

Well the day passed by like that .. with fireworks between me and THE GODS!!

The next day. We had dance practice [ don't ask for what , i have no idea ]. Well i came to remove my slippers in the A/V Room. ” MY FRIEND “ was next to me. It was then that he told me what the ” MAIN GOD “ had planned to start up a cyclone. I got totally pissed and started yelling saying ” this is completely stupid and that I’m really fed up of the MAIN GOD , etc.. etc.. ”  My Friend was like ” Stop it! His brother is staring at you” [ another HOT guy ] I turned to see that guy glare at me and smile. I rolled my eyes and huffed out of the room in fury. Within seconds i looked up to see on all 4 sides , the sky was turning black. The girls in the guest house and around me panicked. I ran at the speed of light.

The cyclone was moving in fast and somehow i sensed some dark magic around it. I ran from side to side and up the guest house and screamed at the top of my voice ” RUN OUT!! MOVE!!!” The girls stampeded down the stairs and out of the building. I only remember seeing myself almost alone in the A/V Room. The GODS simply casually and coolly staring at me with those evil eyes.

I really don’t know if i managed to save the people and myself . Before it ended, I was shaken awake.

The difference between my dream and Priya’s book was :

1} The place : My dream – The beach house & Priya’s Book – Lemuria

2) Source of the prob : My dream – Cyclone & Priya’s Book – Thragone’s soldier’s 

3) Characters Name : Me – Harshika & Priya’s Book – Neha

4) Neha knew all the gods and was close to NONE while I didn’t know ANY of the GODS and was close to ONE!!!

SO this was my DREAM!!! One which i never want to forget ever!!!

Short Story Slam – #1

This is my first short story.. So let’s see how this goes….

It was a beautiful summer day. With summer vacations on the go, Laura’s family wanted to go out and have some fun!! Laura an adventurous girl with her brother Len who was also an adventure freak wanted to go on HOT BALLOONS!!! There was a fine festival on the nearby park. The park was called SHIMMERING PARK. The grass was sparkling with due.. crystal clear water fountain in the middle and everything can be picture perfect for a park. The park was just 10 minutes away from their house. Lisa and Lint , Laura’s parents thought HOT BALLOON flying was a pretty good idea.  Within 15 mins they were all set to go! On reaching the park , Laura and Len saw 3 HUGE hot balloons. They raced to one of the balloons and got on ready to go.  The balloon man let the balloon fly. It soared to a great hight. Laura and Len were excited. They saw beautiful cloud shapes , flocks of birds flying and finally a beautiful rainbow. In the balloon they also found 2 baskets of treats along with a bottle of wine. They had a ball of a time on the HOT BALLOON. After what seemed a long and a wonderful soar they came back down. They found that the park was filled with people and the wine party and moved to  full swing.  Happy with their adventurous flight.. Laura and Len went to enjoy the party with the parents.
