Miles and Miles of Smiles!

...I read this news piece yesterday in the TOI which said that 50percent of all foreigners murdered in the Australia are Indians!...Man!...that's some shocking stuff!...its all because of ignorance!...ignorance about diversity!...well, there are 195 countries in the world!!!...ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE!...that's some number...and it'll take you mighty long to get to know about even 15percent of them!!...now, i know you'll be full rolling your eyes and all...but think about it...i mean most of us stay in societies right?...sure you know your neighbor but can you confidently say that about all the residents of the society?....scrap that, do you even know all the people living in your building...you know what, scrap that too, do you know one person, at least, from every apartment in your building?...most of you don't!...and that's because...its just too hard...there are just too many different types of people!...now i pretty much stay in the middle of nowhere, alright!...so I'm like courage the cowardly dog!...just one building, surrounded by unending nothingness on all sides!...but people still stay here....and nice people too!!...or so i think!...well, on my right side is a family...of four...two kiddies and their mum and dad...good folks....pretty well behaved...except when the hubby spills orange juice on the carpet and the fair lady just...well..loses it!...her shrill voice....coupled with the indistinguishable indescribable intelligible word delivery makes our poor watchman redundant...cz i bet no thief would ever dare venture into this apartment cz of her monster mouth!!...right next to me are a bunch of bachelors...who, I'm pretty sure are delighted that section 377 has been done away with!...no no...bear with me now!...first of all, they have pink walls!....bright candy fluff pink....their favourite artists are the backstreet boys and the pussycat dolls!..their car smells of jasmines!...and i once saw empty cartons of hair removal creams and fairness creams outside their apartment!...now the apartment above mine...so aptly called the seventh heaven...is occupied by 4 wipro girls!...weird ones...they'd hug you if they need to get something done but then show you the middle finger after they've got their way!!...i mean they came to my room and asked me whether i go to the gym!..i! and gym!...the chances of me ever going to a gym are rarer than the chances of full frontal nudity in the next Disney flick!!...but they're very cute...so...you know! :D ...on the top floor, stays an elderly couple!...retired and very happy!...i mean, the dude (yes! he is a dude!....he was a boxer for god's sake!) is probably the only guy IN THE WORLD who can compete in a joust of crapolicious jokes with me!...and the chick, (again, I've seen the pictures of when they were young and you know, that if Jennifer Hawkins had seen her then, she'd just die of jealousy!!) prepares the best cup cakes ever!...well what i want to say here is, well don't go by what other's tell you!..do not let your perception of others be affected by what you..umm...read in the papers...or watch on the telly..or hear in other's rants!...don't be brainwashed by people who just want to fuel their political motives!..no no!...instead...talk to people!....be friendly....smile!...if they don't smile back!...move on!...smile at the next guy...and the next..and the next!...i mean what is the world anyway?...its just us!....they're only 6 degrees of separation between us and that's about it.....plus it is the best deal!....you'll get what you give...and more!...so start living, start loving!
