How about a little bit of courtesy?

Some days ago while I was picking up groceries in a market I witnessed this act of arrogance. There was this lady shrieking with anger at an attendant "You people don't have yoghurt? Such a big store does not have yoghurt?" The lady had given a cursory look into the cooler and when she did not find what she was looking for, she made a big fuss over the issue.

If this lady did not find a product at one store, she could simply have got it elsewhere. There was absolutely no need to shout at the attendants. Why do people yell at others who are not in a position to shout back at them?

We are all in a hurry to get to college/office in the morning. But how much time do we really lose when we slow down a bit to let the school kid or an aged person cross the road?

Students who have just completed class X/pre-university/Class XII are at a crucial juncture of their lives. This is the time they would have to choose a field of study/degree major, which they mainly base on their exam score. There is no dearth of so-called-relatives/friends who only know to play down the poor student's results. The percentage could have been 95+ or just average, some people by default downgrade the score. How difficult is it to be a little supportive?

Enter a moderately crowded city bus, holding two bags. It is not uncommon to find people looking at you scornfully because the space around them just got congested due to your luggage. Why do people scowl over trivial issues? You may be dangling from the support rod, still not many of those seated comfortably would offer to help you out by holding your bag for a while.

We do not lose anything by being a little considerate, do we?

Title track of the movie Dil Chahta Hai  :)  :)

Kaisa Ajab Yeh Safar Hai, Socho To Har Ik Hi Bekhabar Hai
Usko Jaana Kidhar Hai, Jo Waqt Aaye, Jaane Kya Dikhaaye
Oh Oh Oh ...
