What are they thinking ??????

Every personality and attitude is different. Which is natures design !!

At the same time, its not all the same that used to be at birth. Upbringing, society everything shapes it over the tenure of one's life.

Last week I came across two such human beings which are far from tolerable (to me and to the dozens of other people who observed these people).

Interestingly, both of these people are so far successful people !!!!

Dr. Ramaswamy (name changed)

An PhD, an MBA, educated in USA. Moves from degree to degree. Not picked up any real practical job for an year at length yet.

Dr. Ramaswamy, as I understand, is - bachelor, young and bright.

And his marriage proposal was being discussed with one of the most practical, nice, bright young lady I know very well.

Over the course of getting to know each other over e-mail and internet chats etc, the personality of Dr. Ramaswamy stands up uniquely, and for some reason very predictably.

Dr. Ramaswamy starts his e-mail with "chou" - while rest of the world ends an e-mail with that. If the girls gets amused, he refers to a dictionary that says, "Chou can also mean Hello".

Dr. Ramaswamy says the girl not to feel inferior because her academic degrees are not as good as his (the girl is one of the brightest engrs I know :).

He claims that he drinks milk only from "Happy, alive cows".

Dr. Ramaswamy, says the girl most likely has "Auschwitz Syndrome" and unlimited googling does not even find the right meaning. Thats when you know, its told to show some one knows cornor cases !

Nevertheless, the relation did not go anywhere before even it started. The girl, politely "let-go", "Dr. Ego" !

After all in his own words "He does not do women" :)

Sangeetha Madhavan (name changed again )

This person, is a marketing professional for a global company. She comes to the office gym some evenings (and from the looks of it, she really needs it too.. who does not now a days :) !

From the moment she enters the gym, negativity starts to spread. She has not yet registered, neither received doctor certificate that is mandatory to start working out. Everyday, she says to the front desk, that she is one of the busiest person in the company and does not have time to do that.

From the moment, she enters, she tells this gym has a bunch of guys doing time-pass ( there are many serious health freaks as I see them, who also happen to enjoy their work out together).

And she comes in the busiest hour of the gym. Asks the gym instructor to remove people working out on cardio equipments so that she does not have to wait. She does not like the music in the gym. Every minute, she would complain about either adjusting the volume or changing the song.

Rest of the gang there goes on enjoying work out, music - any music at any volume and her attitude. She has literally become a laughing stock for the gym users and a nightmare for the gym instructors and front desk people.

She is the one, who put a handkerchief on a cycle to claim its her's when she comes in :)

Betaal is clueless if Dr. Ramaswamy would ever be able to have a real job for a long time (outside of academics) and if Ms. Madhavan will ever get in to shape (for the body part above her shoulders).
