Life is all about situations and the way we deal with them, about people and how we tolerate them. Just when you think everything around you was fine and good, suddenly you come across something which makes everything wrong and makes it look bad.
As a young headstrong girl I was always outspoken and voiced my likes and dislikes openly. At that point of life if I didnot like somebody I would make that very clear and would avoid any interaction with them, if I saw some untoward incident I would protest, if someone sought help I would help, if someone would shout I would shout back.
With time my perception has changed, the way I react to situations now has changed. Somehow a more calculative me does all the 'thinking-before-speaking' thing. Now I do not react immediately, my brain thinks, calculates the pros and cons, chooses the most appropriate words which are politically correct and then my mouth utters them. All is well as I am now believed to be an intelligent person, a person who is good natured, cultured, and has brains. But somehow I feel that its not the true me. I feel I have become shrewd which I do not like, but the world likes me like this.
