Oh that gawker!

I mentioned in my previous post that I delve in last minutes, that I perform best under pressure. But how about the feeling of being stared at when you at some task? There is something greatly enervating about being stared at. I can’t deal with situations where somebody ogles at me amorously or peeks into my computer screen, or listens to my phone chats.

During my school/college exams, I couldn’t concentrate when examiners would walk in the classroom and suddenly stop behind me, quitely peering into my paper. I would look down and pretend to be reading the question paper or I’d stare into the air as if I were scribbling in thinking deeply for my answer.

I tend to get uncomfortable if someone observes me on the train, at work, or even in the kitchen when someone stares at me juggling with the spices or tossing my pancake.

My new rule to deal with ‘being stared at’:
Don’t fret, don’t be vexed. Either allow your senses to be accoustomed to such oddities and behavioural patterns or simply stare back. That helps to get people off my back and also gives me my dose of amusement -:)

My fellow Indians, Happy Independence Day. Celebrate your Freedom and enjoy your long weekend.
