A random post

Had a good time yesterday, bowling with my secondary school Tamil class friends. I was happy only to a certain extent, though. I didn’t like that outing that much. I felt like there was a divide between us, there were obviously two cliques. I didn’t like it. But everything went well. I can’t say much in here, but i’ve discussed my feelings with Kasturi.

I was listening to one of Suresh’s podcasts again and in it he was explaining why he avoids Indian college-mates/passers by. I was surprised at his views, but at the same time realise that it’s true with me too. I mean, i don’t avoid them but i would keep a distance from the Indians here. I just find them quite weird. Let me tell about an incident that happened yesterday, Kasturi would know too. As we, a group of Indian girls that is, were walking along the road on the pavement, a vehicle passed by. The driver kept on sounding the horn, we got so irritated. There were a bunch of Indian workers in that vehicle, more than twenty or so people. All were starring at us and smiling, giving that kind of ‘signal’. It’s called, ‘jollu vidurathu’ in tamil, right? Aiyo! I hated them. Another vehicle did the same thing as it passed by us.

These people would do anything when they are in a big group. But when alone, they just shut up and keep quiet. I can’t believe it. I respect them and the reason why they’ve come to Singapore and all. But this is simply too much. The Bangal boys are another story. All they do is just stare at anyone, be it an old woman or a young one. Haha… I’m not kidding. Just go to Little India on Saturdays and Sundays, one would just cringe from the numerous stares you get. But I just don’t care. I’ve learned to ignore them a long long time ago. I can survive millions of such stare now. I don’t care at all!!

Anyway, I learned a technique that is simply just for fun. Haha… When a guy is walking past you, first look at his eyes and make eye contact with him for a second or two. This is just to let him know that you are looking at him. Then slowly (not so slowly because you’re going to walk past him soon) bring your eyes to his shoes/slippers/flip-flops/whatever and stare at it for a while, as if you find it weird or nice. Anything. Then turn away your face from his shoes/slippers/flip-flops/whatever. After he has walked past you, quickly turn behind and look. Make sure he is not turning behind and looking at you too. You will notice that he will be looking down to check his shoes/slippers/flip-flops/whatever!! I found it very funny when i first did it to a middle-aged man. You can do it to a girl too. Go on, try it! Haha…

I have nothing better to do…
