'Neighbours' form an interesting part of life. They just love to observe the happenings of others. There are good as well as annoying neighbors too. Well, I am focusing on those ones who take a special interest in gossiping. It seems that such ones won't even survive without their juicer habits of gossiping.
Small talks are the beginners Wikipedia while the toppers just love to dig in their smashing ways of extracting rumours from others. Such rumours become the spiced headlines of gossipy neighbours. It is amazingly found everywhere. It is quite easy to hear about what others talk especially when people are housed next to each other so closely. Slums and small houses have been commonly tuned with the gossips of daily routine.
Once upon a time of financial crisis, I had to live in a one room housed area and was quite frustrated on discovering that I could be heard by others as well as they were highly audible to me too. Now, that seemed to be quite depressing to me as everyone prefers their own privacy. But, I had no other option and had to adjust myself with this awkward feeling that I am being heard all around the clock. And, the very next day... we have to face our neighbours with a knowing smile!
The neighbouring ladies especially the curiosity-filled gharwalis just love to invade the privacy of our lives. They gossip about our grief-stricken personal moments. They observe us right when we step out of our house. They have problem in the way we walk and talk. They just can't breathe relief in the way we dress up. They just can't understand the importance of our laughter and smiles. They sharpen their noses when guests arrive at our doorstep. They love to create an unnecessary awareness by spreading all false rumours about us. Above all, they simply feign a lot of ghee- smeared Sympathies!
In my another neighborhood, there lived an annoying wife of a rich milkman. Her main focus was only me. She hated me for being a talkative girl. Inspite of being the mother of three children, she used to behave in such an arrogant manner. I have never seen a proud and dominating lady like her in my life. Her children used to sneak right into my window to find out what I am doing in my house. She had problems even when I am conversing with my small child. Her son used to bring his friends in order to eve-tease me. Her daughter used to mimic the way I talk in English. It was overall a ridiculous mess!!
It is specifically quoted in The Bible to 'LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR' but one is often forced to rethink about this especially when we are made to face such annoying neighbors. In short, it has become quite a customary formality to deal peacefully with these kinds under the label of 'adjustment'. Well, I had to bear with them and control myself loaded by huge patience and inner strength until I had moved to another neighborhood!!
Before ending this note of melodrama, let me quote myself - ''NEIGHBORS are NEIGHBORS...So, You gotta love them no matter how they are''.... And, this will continue forever! !
