First for 2013

   

This post is not exactly what i wanted to write about. I started with the idea of posting a questionnaire i took from someone's blog as lately i have been too busy ( Ok fine. That's a lie) lazy to write about anything. And we are already into the second month of 2013 and i'm yet to post anything which implies that my blog or rather i have been hibernating for too long. Ok back to the business. As i was skimming the questions something caught my eyes.
      It read "List 2 bad habits you have". Immediately my tiny brain started the thinking process and i was surprised that i couldn't think of any. Wait..before you jump into  conclusion,.. No...i'm no angel! Then, why couldn't i think of two bad habits of mine? It's simple. We I don't acknowledge my bad habits. I 'think' i'm good and that my bad habits are too trivial to be considered as 'bad'. As my brain slowly lists down the bad habits, i tell myself "no..that happened only once", "nah..i do that only when i'm PMSing", "i was forced to behave that way so that's not my nature" and blah..blah.. We could be so protective of ourselves, don't we? 
     Life gets definitely better when you are able to see you flaws and accept them. It's impossible for you to rectify all you flaws but a little bit of effort is definitely better. It's funny how we can judge others easily and label them at the very first sight. When others make mistakes we put a tag on them and refuse to give them a second chance and conveniently banter them relentlessly. That includes me too. But when the same mistake is made by us, we turn a blind eye to it. We, tirelessly give numerous excuses and reasons for our wrong doings and eventually succeed in convincing others of our innocence. If only we channel half the effort in understanding the others around us and giving them a second chance, life would be beautiful. 
      The question may seem a frivolous question but it has actually got me thinking. How unfair we are to the others around us. We are so obsessed with ourselves that we refuse to see the flaws in us. So, now i'm gonna list down my own flaws..(definitely not going to post about that :))
