Things that bring me down...

In my everyday life, I come across a lot of people with those little habits that get me down. Like: people having loud conversations over their mobile phones ignorant of the fact that their private affairs are indiscreetly forced upon all those in the vicinity; people prattling endlessly during the movie I paid 150 rupees to watch; people slurping their food around me; people blaring the horns on their vehicles as an aid to their ‘me first, me first, me first!’ attitude while driving to work; auto rickshaws blasting noisy distorted music (if it could be called music) that is heavily loaded in its bass tones; when you are working as a group and a chunk of it is chattering nonstop in a language that I cannot make sense of; people using speaker phones in public places; the jarring ringtones that disturb the silence of a classroom or the peace of an afternoon nap.

In simple words, I think it is noise that annoys me predominantly. And unfortunately, it annoys me more than it should. It is unsettling how such trivial issues sometimes get the better of me. What frustrates me is that people have no consideration for others, especially in public places. I would strictly limit engaging myself in activities that please me to the confines of my house without compromising others’ needs and interests.
