Can people be judged on first sight?
Can People be judged on the first sight?
I’ve seen many of my friends giving wild disclosures about a person’s behavior on the first sight. Most of us believe we can rate or (to be precise) judge a person the moment we see him. Friends, forget Albert Einstein’s “e=mc2”. What do you think on seeing this?
A freak? A maniac? Or one who has wasted his life chasing a crazy hair-do? To be frank, almost all of us would have wondered at-least once, if, this was the man who defined all contemporary laws of Physics.
This “ATTAINED ALL NIRVANA” attitude is not confined to modern Indians. When Mr. M.K. Gandhi went to England to attend the second ‘Round Table Conference’, people were just unable to accept his identity. They thought how this ‘puny, semi-nude man of physically-weak constitution’ would challenge an empire that has ruled almost all the globe for nearly a century.
The truth, however is very different, friends. The Mahatma himself once described how one’s value depends on the ‘inner courage & wisdom’ and not on the physical looks or attitude.
People with a not-so-kingly looks have been successful monarchs in the sands of history. People who have never been to school gave the world the definition of ‘democracy’. People who wore rugs became golden legends. At-least after this , friends, let us accept the vitality and profoundness of the inner-self and not of looks!

TIME!
"MEN TALK OF KILLING TIME, WHILE TIME QUIETLY KILLS THEM".
-Dion Boucicault
"TIME = LIFE, THEREFORE WASTE YOUR TIME AND WASTE OF YOUR LIFE, OR MASTER YOUR TIME AND
MASTER YOUR LIFE".
-Alan Lakein
"TIME IS THE WISEST COUNSELLOR OF ALL".
-Pericles
Though the above sequence may sound cynical, it adheres to 'Cynicism'. I'd say that the 'most annoying thing' that one might face in his life is to wait for someone, unless one doesn't value oneself. Right from early days, time-keeping has been valued and preserved as a trait owned by learned and wise peculiars.
1.) Mulla Badani, the brilliant historian of the Mughal era cites that emperor Babur had a terrible rage against the court's "late-masters". His acrimony was so colossal that he had to deploy a special scourge for his court!
2.) Japan's Samurai way of warriorship emphasises the vitality of good time-keeping in battle as well as in habitual life. A 'Samurai' was expected to be as keen as a 'Peacock' and as swift as a 'Cobra'.
3.) Professional etiquette doesn't approve faulty time-keeping. Henry Ford, the illustrious motor-typhoon holds the record for firing (not literally, of-course) his tardy employees. He valued time greater than his venture.
I wonder why this kind of sheer adherence to time is noticeably rare amongst Indians! The worst thing in bad time keeping is that apart from conspicuous squandering of one's time, the 'late-master' also apparently trifles the hours of the one waiting for him. I must not fail to mention the fussy nature of every 'late-master' in brushing aside the fact that he had deliberately consumed the hours of the eager commons. This scenario is mostly manifested in special occasions. I wonder what would happen to the chief guest at the eleventh hour!
Hope now comes in the fact that the younger generation now values time as money (Thanks to Sir Benjamin Franklin). Recent judicial acumen too cogitate epoch as a major criteria. Contemporarily, government assemblage punk in time, offices are closed in time, price hikes are in time & even scorching summer is in time (just kidding). The eminent indicia is in the verity that commoners have once again attributed respect, dignity to the 'time-masters' & negligence, ignorance to the 'late-masters'. Henceforth, friends, if you'd like to hold your heads high, be "EARLY BIRDS"!(literally, of-course).
