Twelve mistakes you made in 2013

N.B:  Don’t be alarmed by any of it.

      When you ditch your closest friends and your brother to spend the worst New Year ever in the most happening place in India, take a hint, you got some bad mojo to start the year.

      When invited to visit the house of important people in your future life, accept graciously or live with the decision, don’t crib about it every opportunity you get even if it’s only in your head.

      If you imagine that your closest single friend will not take your getting hitched well, if you feel uncomfortable, it’s called instinct, follow it, instead of conducting an opinion poll & trying to garner support, you don’t need to secretly obtain political support for your party.

      You don’t get points for forgetting to mail the invitations or sending them to the wrong email id, that’s just an excuse. Whatsapp & Facebook are not replacements of a telephone call.

      If you invite a friend from outside the city to an event remember to include him in all the group gathering, anything else is an excuse.

      Not keeping in touch with friends who are abroad because you are engaged is exactly the hypocritical thing you would hate. Making the effort to get on Skype for a man instead of your friends makes you a loser.

      Just because a colleague and a friend did not reply to your sms or call doesn’t mean you be an egoistic bitch, and complain to everyone about it. Calling her or mailing her would have taken less time.

      Blaming a good friend for good solid advice which prevented you from doing something you know you would have regretted is called being a bitch. God knows how many times you have peddled advice; at least no body threw it back at your face.

      Just because you are not in the mood to attend to some surprise guests doesn’t mean you can pounce on the under the guise of small talk or look bored, that’s just misbehavior. The least expected is diplomacy & interpersonal skills, in all walks of life. Not having the decency to call them and apologize immediately just makes you a delusional & defensive idiot.

      Just because your vacation plans with your friends isn’t final doesn’t mean you don’t share it till the last moment, that’s just plain rude and to defend yourself over this is juvenile. Where’s the honest spirit in this? Try walking in the other’s shoe for a minute.

      Just because you are in the habit of panicking before any travel doesn’t mean you throw a public tantrum in the guise of a fake call to a friend & behave hysterically & not bother to apologize & pretend to be the victim. You know you are wrong but you would rather be the Ostrich.

      Just because you have lost a parent or left your job or got married shouldn’t be an excuse for anything that you did or didn’t do, nor should that give anyone the right to dictate who you are. Grow some ovaries. Do the right thing. Stand up for yourself.
