I went to our nearest SBI branch yday....it is actually an Agro - Dev bank......so the whole crowd comprised majority farmers....people with basic or may be dilapidated dress up or may be low class for some of us......I wanted to deposit some amount and it was a huge line in front of the cash counter....people were waiting for an hour....I was a bit confused whether to go back home and come after a while or to finish the job.....finally I decided to stick to the line and finish my job....all the people were men and I was the only girl there......after five minutes.... Few men volunteerily told me," Jiji aap bath jao.... Kaybe khada ide.... Wa saab aaye jab bata diyaanga.... Aap pelam kar leejo kaam aapra"....... (Thats our local rajasthani influenced dialect)..... I never expect that....and I dint believe it too....I was touched to see their sensitivity.....later the clerk came and I was the first to do the job....thanks to all those guys.
On the contrary when I went to an urban office in bhopal earlier.... which had the sophisticated crowd.... No body actually bothered to consider me going first in the queue even after having a 2 months old baby in my lap....I had to fight for that sensitivity among the so called civilized brutes.
Here I am talking about "the notion people often have"
Most of the people judge others just on the basis of how they look or their dress up or from where they come from or whether they speak good english or not......and thats so ridiculous.....because if that is the criteria..... most of the parents of our generation's crowd will surly fail....
I had an upbringing in a trilingual environment of Hindi, English and Malyalam..... Since my mom is a malyalee who couldn't speak hindi in her initial days and later learned our local rajasthani dialect of village too....she has been very particular that we dont leave our earthiness and sensitivity.....I never understand how sons or daughters of those mothers who are not so modern or cant speak english become so insensitive and show their fake sophisticacy.
A good human being is a sensitive human being and this quality never relates to what you wear....
I remember in a marriage reception in my family.... People of our village,the farmers....they all were touching the feet of the bride and bride groom...and some so called sophisticated urban people of Barat were telling, " kaise kaise logo hain inke yaha"......I would say.... very true kaise kaise log hain is duniya me...jo itni choti soch rakhte hain....aur khud ko sophisticated, sensitive samajhte hain......
To me all those farmers possess the real Sophisticacy and the later can be called insensitive Gawars.
