For a better comprehension of the post ahead, readers need to acknowledge the fact that I neither smoke nor drink. In this post, I would be talking about smokers in particular and drinkers in general.
Gone are the days when one used to value the importance of austerity in life and even thought of being a teetotaler. When I entered my first year in college, I too recognized the fact that youths love enjoying life without feeling any ethical reservations. But, anyways, respect of individuality is what I appreciate and follow. Infact many a times, I myself encourage my friends to drink/smoke to enjoy the limited valuable years of bachelor life and bust the sullen ambience surrounding one’s aura
But anyways, appropriate reciprocating response is always absent as is expected by persons similar to me. Just mentioning them in brief:
- Smokers never give a damn to the fact that their smoking is passive smoking for others. Many a times they pretend as if they care but that is mostly due to the market value of the person concerned and in long run, the real face gets often revealed. Worst scenario arises when the smoker is your roomie’s friend. In this particular case, he won’t even inquire regarding your personal choices and inconveniences.
- Greatest emotional attyachar is when you go to some place and they offer to have some sweet/paan/soft drink etc together which you deny due to various reasons. Instantly they would also say no their whim. This solidarity pledge often sounds ridiculous. When you had to drink/smoke, you left us all and did merry making/partying with your similar friends and didn’t give a shit to the fact that I am alone, but now all of a sudden, this momentary expression of love sounds confusing.
- Smokers/drinkers would always pretend that they have finally got some elixir and now they are having best of their time in some self imagined heaven and treat the non-smokers as sullen beings fed up with their lives. God knows why the hell they feel that they are the only gifted and the happy lads.
Personally I have also seen that smokers have a restricted gamut while selecting friends, they always look for friends with similar interests. While a non- smoker is always open to friends of any type. Hence, I have experienced that smoking habits block you from getting fresh friends and ideas
I hope my friends with similar interests would be having pretty similar experiences
My head bows for them and all the resident respect in my heart emanates for those only who manage to keep the values taught by their parents alive, in this naked professional world. They are the real fighters of adversities in lifeP.S. This is my first unedited post
