Make a mountain out of a mole hill


The human beings have the habit of peeping into others lives. No matter they want to "feed" with one gossip or another. If you look closely they find "mirch masala " in other lives. I know many by-lanes of mylapore and triplicane in chennai city, particularly the aggrahaharams are known for gossip factories. The old ladies just make or break the person's character with their tongue lashing. Almost everyone , no matter their social status have the curiosity to look into others. Some may pose like Mr.CLEAN but they gather all gossips from their spouse. They normally do not indulge in such activities directly because it affects their personality.

The two important gossips that play havoc in human's life.
Financial related matters.
Human relations matters.
FINANCIAL RELATED MATTERS
"You know your next door Mr.X lost his job because of EMBEZZLEMENT says one mami". No.No. Actually, Mr.X. had a "keep" in his office when this thing brought was to light he was fired from the office "says another mami. (this is how financial related maters can be turmed into a human related matters). The fact of the matter surrounding is Mr.X has started his own manufacturing unit in the outskirts of the city. But, these mamis played "basketball" on Mr.X LIFE. very dangerous mamis indeed.
HUMAN RELATED MATTERS
Who slept with whom is the crux of the issue. Yellow journalisim provides this kind of issues making public to get their "graduation" . For example, the boys meets the girl is the simple meeting but to our gossip-mongering blokes it is more than simple meeting they add all spices like boy was seen at medical shop buying some contraceptive pills, immediately another gentleman would say no.no.... girl already had several relationships before this boy. The girl has a child studying in an ooty convent this information was considered as a scoop says a citizen-journo. This talks not only damages the reputation but also lowers our esteem in the society. Sometimes , half fed gossip makes some of us to suffer insomnia. The syndrome pushes us to any extremes to gather the (untold)half information we don't mind chatting to "gate crasher" once, the info is collected we shut off the "connection".
We all think (presume) our affairs are kept under the carpet as if noboby is gossiping about our affairs. This positioning only substantiate our stance that we are "living in fool's paradise". Shall we say ignorance is bliss.
