That day I was returning from Accoland, Guwahati with three of my nephews and nieces... As I crossed the Maligaon overbridge (Guwahati), I noticed something unusual... Actually that day it was too hot... There was a car in front of mine, a red coloured WagonR, of which all the windows were tightly shut and somebody was using a hand held fan made of bamboo... I felt it somewhat funny... All the windows were shut and that they had to use a hand held fan means their AC was not functioning properly... If they were feeling that much heat, they could simply open their windows... Anyway there was neither any dust nor any foul smell at that place!!!
I was about to have my final funny opinion about those people... But suddenly I noticed one head raising for a moment near their rear window on the left side of the seat.. And you know... My opinion totally changed all of a sudden... Actually some ill person was there inside that car... The lady in the middle of the rear seat, who was using the hand held fan was doing the same not for her own comfort, but for the comfort of the ill one... Probably they were on their way to a hospital... You can easily presume the emotional turmoil the said lady was going through, who was trying to cool off her dear one using a fan inside a car even after the AC was on...
After some time I lost track of the car in the heavy traffic... But I really felt sorry for drawing a funny remark on somebody who was actually in great tension!!!
You know... This is just a simple single example of the whole lot of mistakes we make in our entire life... Sometimes we are in a too hurry to draw an impression... Sometimes we just fail to understand others...Occasionally we are able to overcome these first impressions, but most of the times we just fail... Sometimes just because of these wrong impressions some relationships come to an end even before the start... Sometimes someone is even forced to suffer a hell lot of pain...
During my professional and also in my personal life, I have so many alike experiences... Sometimes at first I misjudge a person (by his appearance) to be too arrogant until I start talking...
Few weeks back, I witnessed a news on TV where some outsider young boys were beaten black and blue by an angry mob in a village... They were suspected (baselessly?) to be involved in some illegal unsocial activities... Their physical appearance acted against themselves to increase the anger of the enraged people... They had tattoes, long hair, unconventional beards and all... No doubt, I never support those people who take laws into their own hands... This is a different topic and will be discussed elsewhere.. But you know what... I have personally met a number of such young boys who are actually much more humble and polite than most of our so called gently dressed people...
Around one month back I met a cute couple at my clinic... You can invariably use all those terms like "Made for each other" etc for this pair.. I was highly impressed by their personality.. The way the husband expressed his concern about his wife, it didn't take me much time to realize his caring nature... The wife was having a black eye following some blunt trauma... I was examining her and he went outside for a moment to answer a phone call...
"Actually sir, he is the man... Frequently he use to heavily drink and then beat me up... "
I was stunned.. She couldn't continue any longer as her husband came inside within a moment. I couldn't even decide what to say or how to act on that sudden unexpected realization... But I didn't miss the silent request in the eyes of that young lady to keep myself quiet...
Somebody rightly said that first impression is not always the last impression... To be true, it can actually be multilayered!!!
