The Art of Gossiping

You can't deny the fact that everybody loves gossiping.

Now, some may argue that females are more prone to this chattering.

If you feel that Men don't gossip; then it's the biggest myth!
The fact is, gossiping is never gender-biased. This starts from the very beginning of your life, be it in school or college, you tend to gossip. And this ’foreplay’ reaches its peak when you enter your workplace.

“सुना तुमने, राज और सिमरन के बीच कुछ चल रहा है...
दोनो रोज़ ऑफ़िस के बाद पानी-पूरी खाने जाते है...”

“इस काजल का नाम काजल नहीं बल्कि मक्खना होना चाहिए था... बॉस को मक्खन लगा-लगाकर प्रमोशन ले लेलिया...”

Such conversations are a part of the daily routine when you come to the office.

Once upon a time in one such office in India...

Yawning, you are trying to concentrate on your work when a colleague comes to you,

"Hey Dude, I heard something about you...”
(Now this is a very deadly statement to hear. When somebody tells you that he or she has heard 'something’ about you, your mind races towards hundred-odd things which could correspond to that something.)

"And what that something is?” Suspiciously you ask him, fearing what is kept for you in-store.

"I heard this... I heard that... and yes, I heard that as well!", he blushes, as if he has read the book on your life.

"And who the hell told you, all this nonsense?" you ask him a bit surprised.

"What’s his name? I don't remember.
Arnold Par...? I happened to have lunch with him today, but I don't know him", he confesses.

"Arnold Parkerson? From Sales and Services?" you ask, stressing on the name.

"I guess yes, Arnold Parkerson! Right! But I don't know him personally. Neither does he know me", he confesses again!

So the point here is, Arnold and your colleague don't know each other personally, but still, they tend to share gossip about you.

This anecdote proves that Men do gossip!

But while gossiping one should not forget the two basic rules -
1. Always gossip only in your closed circuit and not with any Tom, Dick and Harry.
2. Don't forget rule number 1.

These two rules were forgotten by Arnold while chattering in front of your colleague - a total stranger to him.

Because if you keep gossiping with anybody and everybody, then there will be some notorious elements in society who will make sure to make a gossip of you by writing about you in Media, Social Media and wherever possible!
