the circle of friends

I was reading a blog yesterday, by this indian girl that lives in toronto,(a friend of mine recommended her blog as a link on his blog, so, i have also started reading hers) and she has some very interesting thoughts and comments.

her latest post was on how indian girls hate seeing other indian girls succeeding, be it in careers or their personal lives, and I am forced to agree with. Gone are the days when we would look at our friends, smile and truthfully and sincerely congratulate them on an accomplishment, No! we smile and congratulate them while we silently curse them to hell and back.

Point of note..
I recently introduced a friend of mine to my another group of friends. Now, this girl is younger than we are, has just qualified and has started a really good job. I think she is absolutely wonderful, sweet, and is a really nice person, but at the end of the evening, one of my friends commented that she found her to be "a pretentious bitch" . Now, she has no valid reason for saying this, since she hardly ssaid two words to the girl let alone asked her about anything that she does. She based her entire opinion on "sweety" becauase of the way she sat... yes, she called a "P.B" because this girl has the good sense to sit up straight, has good posture and has manners, when it comes to talking to people, so, instead of learning from her, jealousy rears its ugly head, and she stoops down to name calling and slandering... all for NO GOOD REASON... Get to know the person, speak to them and then form an opinion, dont !!! DONT judge a BOOK by its COVER...and GROW UP !!!!
