Perfectionism

PERFECTIONISM

The society expects perfection in EVERYTHING. Not only in his home, one expects perfection in neighbourhood too.  Now that’s something wrong. There’s no wrong in being fastidious in the things you buy. When you expect perfection in people, they simply  avoid you.

When I say am interested in writing short poems, they simply ask “Oh! That’s nice! Common tell me a poem on “ME”!!”

Does every famous poet have the skill to write instantaneously?

When people don’t know ANYTHING about something, they simply relate it to what they merely know about some other thing.

Here it goes!

When I say am doing B.Tech Food Process Engineering, people hardly understand. I waste my time thinking how I could describe my course of study in simple terms. I tell them about dairy technology, bakery and few popular brands of processed products.

They just reply, “Oh! So you’re doing catering! Say so!” or

“Hotel Management? Tell me in simple words na!” These ones are just bad.

Still Worse replies are there. “Why take such a course? Dint you get an engineering seat in the local college at least?”

P.S : Dear friends, please stop caring to reply these dumbos!

The evilest question that the today’s college students face is “Have you been placed in the campus interview?”

When the answer is NO, then comes the next life threatening question. As if they really care, “Oh that’s bad! Your parents have invested so much money educating you. Don’t spoil their name.”

Even if your mom and dad had some faith that our son would seek a job and prosper, they’d lose hope hearing such words. You’d look like a dumb idiot in front of those unworthy aunts whenever you meet them at occasions. This is why majority teens avoid coming to family functions these days.

Stop acting like you care for our family.

I appreciate your son was the state rank holder, studied in the MSU and was placed in the best organization with a lakh monthly salary and is perfect to the core.

I cannot meet your standards. Stop now you big ladies to expect perfection out of everything.

And your standard of perfection is the ultimate level of human stupidity.
