Snobs…….. And here they come!!

Well, I know it’s a topic peculiar enough to start my writing career with(:P) but then its something which draws most of my interest every time a person showing snobbish traits comes into my contact. As to how I always wonder how can people even think of behaving snobbishly with others based on the one and only fact that they live in BIG cities? I have always wanted to write or create something which can reflect my thought-stream a bit (if not completely ) but I always gave up taking it in a no-big-deal kinda manner. Yesterday was the end and heck of it!

I know of people who feel like penning their feelings down when they find themselves in a great mood or may be in one which may accelerate the speed of co-ordination of their mind and hands. For Eg. My soul sister about 8 years older than me and the one and only reason of me writing this thing coz of me being a great great fan of her notes in the past 4 months which have inspired me down to the core and who did not post even a single note in the time-period of about last two months because she went all blue finding herself caught up into a squirrely web of relationships making her accept facts and take some tough decisions of her life. I would rather repeat this sentence: Its a relief seeing her get back to the stuff in which she really masters coz somebody great has said that If you can do a thing pretty well, it means you are enjoying it! :) Think my case is completely opposite. I never feel like penning stuff down whenever I'm in a great or may be not-so-great mood. For who’s got the time to open a notebook and write something which makes li’l sense to people of utmost importance to us(call it my laziness, if you can). But then suddenly I realize that it isn’t a matter of getting recognition and fame as to what you write and how you write, its just the mental peace which we get after providing words to our thoughts, inner-most feelings, passions and discoveries. As for now, It was just the overlapping Exhaustibility over this ‘Snob’ thing which led to the birth of this not-so-useful note in my mind last night.

First I thought why the hell should I write it?...I then said “C’mon, giving some time off to something which I’m looking forward to lay my hands on ( from a very long time) won’t cost anything” And so I’m at it! Look I don’t really know that how am I going to carry this thing on(coz there are almost thousand things going on In my mind at this moment) but I just know that It’s gonna be real fun, for being completely exhausted by a topic which is of utmost harm to me. So, getting back to the point, the word SNOB is defined as a term used for persons who think that they belong to a better class of society, serious victims of the ‘superiority complex’ disease and thus looking down and behaving rudely with people whom they think are comparatively of a less degree in several factors such as status, money, lifestyle or sometimes religion too. Dude! India is Independent now! then why not your thought stream?

I always wonder over the fact that why all the snobbish figures in movies etc are either “cheer-leaders” in the school sport teams or are the famous and wealthy fashionistas having millionaire fathers and mansion like homes having all the sources of comforts to suit their needs.[and still they remain unsatisfied with what they have and keep competing with the simple girl represented as having angel-like-qualities…just for the sake of snatching attention of the most- popular boy(generally the hero)—who gets attracted by the simplicity of the latter, giving no damn to these mean-godesses! :P ]…On a serious note, I strongly feel that 40% of kids coming from wealthy families adopt these snobbish characters from such movies itself! They don’t really want it but such stories and ideologies compel them to accept the fact that they are the ones who play a ‘superior role’ in the society.
But for me, Its not just the traditionally notioned ‘cheer-leaders’ or the people from wealthy families who really can be termed as ‘Snobs’, it’s just a stereo-typed view! I think everyone of us has a li’l amount of snobbery inside ourselves from the very day we were born.(now, I know you may think I’m nuts but it’s a fact) I don’t say that all of us are snobs and behave snobbishly always. It’s just that mood swinging is the most vital part of human behavior and thus, even though most of us succeed in controlling such emotions maximum times, one can’t escape having a sarcastic view over the other when it comes to their own intrest!

Now now, Sarcasm and Snobbery are way too different let me tell you. A light sarcasm can be handled in a nice manner by patient people but handling snobbery may lead to serious heart-breaks at times. A person sarcastic in nature possibly isn’t always a snob(if he knows what he is doing in a true sense) whereas snobs always leave behind prints of dark sarcasm and a sense of deep insult for others. And so, there are such characters around me too. I don’t always mind having them around me for I never give a damn about what they say or do, still it is interesting dealing heroically with them, making them understand their fault during the whole process. The ones in my family are one-of-a-kind cases, I tell you. And so I am not interested in wasting my energy in writing about them. None of my friends are snobs, thank god! And then I don’t think anybody else around me can ever dare to behave snobbishly with me at least. (:P :P)

But here comes the most interesting part of the note, my questionnaire which I prepared specially for one-of-a-kind snobs I know and then my comments over such non-sense reasons of being a SNOB!! So dear, tell me, why do you think you are superior to everybody around you?...It possibly isn’t your confidence or over-confidence…rather it’s proud of being a snob….so tell me…
1. Coz you are wealthy? (for heaven sake tell me, if you were the one to toil and tear for achieving every luxury which you are getting today?)
2. Coz you’ve got a great sense of fashion based on the million dollar dresses you own?(as if you were the one who earned money to buy them?)
3. Coz you change your boyfriend/ girlfriend every second day? (hey! Tell me what is so cool or useful about it?-is that helping you out in any ways??)
4. Coz you live in a big city? (wtf! Living in a big town doesn’t mean you are better than those who come from the smaller ones. Every successful person in the world has either lived or has been part of a place where one is free of all the pollution, noise and crime! )
5. Coz you get to party and get drunk and dance like crazy all the night in pubs and discos? (haha! And as if it is very sensible and enjoyable?)
6. Coz you are an NRI? (you should be ashamed of being one dude! Studying in one’s own motherland and serving somebody else’s?)
7. Last but not the least……Coz you think you’ve got some brains?(haha…think again!)

And so I think I’ve got sufficiently enough reasons to confront a Snob. I never have and I never will tell anything such to people even if they behave rudely for I know one day they’ll realize that what they did was wrong. Well, I’ve got nothing wrong against any body, this was just to release my frustration. And thus drawing near to the conclusion of my not-so-useful note, in midst of my board exams thinking deeply as if it is to make a difference in the world. May be not now, may be not tomorrow but one day it surely will. And I just know that .Period. And ‘til then all you Snobs -go mad behind your snobbery…… And I’ll go mad behind laughing hard on it!! :P
