Today afternoon I was at the famous Kairali hotel. I had my lunch and was waiting for my turn to wash my hands since there was a guy who was already doing so. As I was waiting, lo! suddenly two guys came from behind, overtook me, washed their hands and coolly went off as if they hadn't seen me waiting in front of them (or were they blind? God knows). And they know very well that I wasn't waiting there to watch a movie.
And this is not the first time it has happened with me. A month back when I went to have my breakfast in a nearby mess (a small one), only one table was vacant. It was almost 8:35 and I had to reach my office at 9:00. I washed my hands and was proceeding towards that table when from nowhere a guy ran and overtook me and sat in that table. I really got irritated to the core. But since that was my birthday, I didn't want to spoil a good day.
I know that everybody is in a hurry, and that in today's world it is "kayi ookullavan kaaryam kaanum," but isn't there something called a courtesy at all? After all what did the guys involved in both the instances gain? My curses or a few seconds? There are instances in life where you need to be competitive, but definitely not in such cases, where there is not much benefit for such actions.
I basically feel that it is their parents who are responsible for such actions. Somebody who is not brought up in the right way are bound to behave in such ways. I think animals have better courtesy!

Ha ha ha!! What Ramesh Bhai..it seems that u r really irritated??
Of course I was irritated at that time Tipu, not now. I thought I would share such experiences with you all....
There's a simple solution for this Ramesh... in both the instances, it was because of your habit of washing your hands... So, the solution is to stop washing your hands..
Do it like the Americans do in loo! :-) Have a paper tissue
