I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Bias...
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
I always thought that I am fairly open minded person but it seems like I was fooling myself in thinking so. On Sunday, my mom asked to buy some hypertension medication for her from a nearby pharmacy. I walked over to that place and I handed over the prescription to the guy at the counter. The store was fairly packed with customers, not the rush you see in evenings but both the counters had enough people. A girl stood next to me and asked for i-pill. Everyone, turned and looked at her. I rolled my eyes. It took only a moment to realize that couple of them were actually looking at me. I felt hot around my jacket collar. In next couple of minutes I moved to next counter to buy chocolates. When I was walking back home, I realized that I was no less than other patrons who give "the look". Irrespective of how preachy I am I felt ashamed at my own bias, however unconciously done.
