HUM-(an)-ILIATION

Ok for once I am going to try writing a light post. Since many people (only2) had asked me to. And because of those people, you (the ones who are reading this) are going to have to bear with my sarcasm. That’s the way this whole post is going to be. So without any further "blah" here goes the post.
As the title goes it’s about humiliation. And adding a “man” there would be like pointing to a country and saying it is one. But sometimes you just need to be reminded, that only humans have the concept of humiliation, just like we constantly need to be reminded that Canada is a country.
Humiliation is just something that people feel when they do something and/ or something someone else does to them and/or something awkward may happen. So that’s the definition by me, as though I taught you all a class. That’s why people prefer being kids, because they don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed or any synonym of that. In simple words, for kids its
“All game and no shame”
No don’t look at me I just am making this up. Not that we can run around without caring for what embarrassment we went through, but there is a plan of action for everything. So to clear it up, it’s just a part of our life, and for some, life is a part of everyday humiliation. Well, some teachers are there right? Whom students make fun of, and by fun, I mean all the time. So these people fall under the second category. Moving on to the important part, I will help you understand the concept of humiliation, how to avoid it and also how to escape the situation if humiliated.
So going into the topic, I am going to divide this into DO’s and DON’T’s,
DO’s
· Act as though nothing ever happened and it’s just another day at “office” and walk on and say “hey man whats up” then you should look at his face. The humanity.
· Act fast and come up with a smart one liner which will make the people around you laugh more. Like the classic, when you fall down say you were searching for a one rupee coin.
· If it’s a lot against one which is obviously you, and if you happen to know their insults you could use them as a threaten but remember never tell it. Just start with it because this is not your first humiliation and definitely not going to be your last.
· Mock yourself before they start mocking you. The logic is if it’s a self damage, it’s as small as an elf damage.
· Or better than all of the above, do see to it that you don’t fall into such a situation.

DON’T’s
· If you get humiliated or into an awkward position in a work place or a similar environment, don’t EVER look around you and see who saw you. Because that will give a long lasting impression of U being a humiliated person. Of course most people in engineering would have learned this by the easy or the hard way.
· Don’t “think” of the consequences as in what might happen later on because of a humiliation now, just keep moving. Most people never think otherwise so why strain for this.
· Don’t speak if you know that you can never manage to get out of an awkward situation. Because if you speak well, that’s fine you can easily get out of a situation. But if you think you are speaking smart and go blabber like a politician, then you are done for and a goner.
· Don’t fake a phone call at such situations to escape because usually people who end up in this situation are the people who have bad luck swarming around them waiting to attack. So if you decide to pick up a fake phone call and someone calls you it will be something worse than the situation you previously were. It will be like,
“Yeah dude temme ssup, what plans to.. (ringtone)whats ma name, no no no no sheeela sheela ki jawaani ….(\ringtone)..”
· Don’t follow any of these if you are a 1st bencher or a “rules” person.
· And most importantly don’t forget to comment for this else I would be humiliated.

And my top 5 humiliations ever would be

5. Was walking on the road with a friend in a crowded street. And by the end of a street there was a couple looking at me as though i had committed a crime. Then i realised that my friend was nowhere to be found and i had been talkin to strangers for almost 5 minutes.

4. My broadband plan was changed from 2mbps to 256 kbps which is basically a sad download speed. I called up the service provider and started blasting them, after a good 10 minutes the female said, sir you had given a plan change request day before yesterday. The culprit was my dad. It was his plan.

3. This was way back in school days, i used to play cricket and it was my first inter school match. They told me to stand in fine leg. I said ok and stood. Only two or three balls came near me which i picked and threw. I got so bored that i started dancing for macorina song. After a good 5 overs they yelled at me "DOT YOU KNOW WHAT FINE LEG IS? YOU ARE STANDING IN MID ON. YOU CAN DANCE BUT THIS YOU DONT KNOW?"

2. I had told in one of the classes in school that another teacher would be taking the class and the same to the person whom i had told would be taking the class. My good luck they both caught me in cafeteria and since then i was called a cheater.

1. I dont know how funny or stupid this would be but one of my friends had a good laugh for three days after this incident. We were in Dominos pizza and had placed our order and we were talking to each other. Then the guy called out my name and i extended my hand to get the order. 2 girls from behind came and took the boxes and went. I stood there standing like a pathetic loser. The girls laughed till they left my vision area. And worst, the guy said "sir i your order will be ready in a few minutes please wait." OH MAN!!


All these were written out of own personal experience and that’s how I know so much about all this. So this indicates the “self damage” part of the story. And I mean all of these I have personally gone through, including the mobile incident. So take care and be as less humiliated as possible. CHEERS!!
