Just another post

I'm wondering if being responsible, honest and living with certain rules are considered as a negative quality nowadays? I have been observing while having long conversations with friends and colleagues, when i say things like I've never bought a movie ticket in black or have never sneaked out of house to go out, people actually look at me like I've not been living.

I'm pretty responsible in few things. Have never lost phone, cards, money and stuff. I've never dozed off in a bus, missed my stop and walked back. I never sneaked out of house 'cos i never had to. I could let my family know where I'm going and what time they can expect me back, and it was fine. I've not lost things like phone, wallets, finger rings and stuff. I have never even lost a lip balm and I'm a girl. So you can imagine.

I see people around me who leave their belongings on their desk and go away. They are not really bothered even if i ask them to keep it safe. I can never be that way. Can never be carefree knowing my things could be stolen. I am responsible. I'm not proud of it 'cos that's how I've been and will be. But i don't understand when people take this quality as something that i need to feel bad about. I understand losing things would make us realize its value. I also believe in falling, getting hurt and learning my lesson. But I'm this way about few things.

I have lost my Tupperware bottle though, 'cos of a stupid thief at work who has a thing for water bottles.

I'm not too sure what I'm trying to say in this post. Now I'm missing my water bottle. Can't type anymore.

  1. Having some decent values in life is actually a positive way of telling that I am enjoying life!!! But as you mentioned, somehow, things have become topsy-turvy and following rules is considered old-fashioned!!! But if you want to be differentiated from the pack, follow your own rules!!!

  2. who said taking care of your belongings is bad? why on earth would someone leave their stuffs for someone to steal (it cannot be called stealing, it's like donation)? take care of your water bottle.

  4. I think you are trying to say that you are responsible. Being responsible is a very good quality. Please introduce me to that person who says being responsible is negative, I'll take a class. ;-)

  5. Its not just another post, in fact i feel it is one of your best posts of all i have read so far Kavya.. I myself am such an absent minded person who once put his answer paper into his bag instead of submitting it to the examiner, and lost many a things in other instances. but the loses have not been colossal thanks to God's grace! Have gone thru lots of anxieties in the process which doesn't seem fun at all. So its good to be responsible actually :)
