i've been walking around the streets and clicking photos of interesting things like street art and graffiti and stuffs like that for a while now. i have been posting them up on the facebook as well as tumblr. well, that's not the part that i wanna talk about. what i wanna talk about is, how people judge you when you're clicking photos. not that i cared before, cause trust me you i stop and click photos every where i go to and i never do mind people starring at the thing that i click photos of or WHO for the matter of fact.
the judgmental thing came across my mind one day when i was click the posted photos. those are supposed to be together but my cellphone is incapable of clicking both at the same time. well, any way it says ANANNTA SANTI, which means ENDING PEACE and a woman passing by me, who by the way had no manner what so ever to respect the fact that i was clicking a photo just walked right by the camera commented (in Nepali ofcourse,which sounds more rude than ever) "these Chinese click photos of whatever they find". and i'm thinking to myself, wow they do judge people no matter what. that's not it, you see, Kathmandu has this place called Thamel and it is the best place to visit. with all the coolness and hippiness and what not-ness, it's awesome. the local shopkeeper in their best behavior, even though they will cheat tourist, wish you as you walk on by. i guess i look pretty TOURISTY when i'm walking alone with nothing on my mind, wandering around looking around so they were wishing me as well, and getting disappointed when i spoke in Nepali. so, as i was passing by a shop, as usual, the guy said "hello" to me so i replied with the most appreciated smile that i had and as i passed on by he says to the other person (again in Nepali which sounds worse than in English), "That Chick(he might as well have said that) is definitly Nepali". i mean, dude, seriously? you think i'm Nepali yet you have to say that out loud? and i'm going "ugh, people. you amaze me".
I'm down with the whole judgmental thing and well i've somehow managed to overlook the judgement they pass on by me about everyone else including me as well. i think it's because i've never paid attention to them. but these things, i heard it unintentionally. and might i add, i finally know why girls bitch about almost everything. they are judged for EVERYTHING. Guys judge them, parents, teachers, neighbor, friends and even girls themselves. what else would they do instead of bitching about others too.
bitching and judgement is cool and everything, but only if you see it through someone else's eye. what you see might not be true, illusion itself is a disguise of it's own. so open your eyes and realize what might be true could be just another lie.
