A few days ago, a friend was fuming and fretting over the ‘filthy inquisitive’ ways of her female colleague. “Her eyes, ears, and even olfactory senses are eternally trained on everyone/everything around. So, she is always alert to even the slightest of sounds, smells, and sights! Naturally, her own work would be ever shoddy, with not a scintilla of focus in it. Even if she sees a pack of wafers in my palms, with pinpoint precision, she’d parrot out its particular brand! I hate to utter this, but the unvarnished truth is how utterly uncouth it is to be that ‘ultra-inquisitive’..Well, it is not uncommon to find these ‘nosy parkers’ everywhere, who are ever prying on what others are doing/talking about/even eating. Here, I recall the remarks of a relative, who often gets nettled over the noxious ways of her ‘nosy neighbour’: “This one fritters away colossal time in constantly keeping a close check on me. She has 360-degree, tirelessly roving eyes. She always keeps gawking at my attire and anatomy while ignoring awful stains on her own apparel.”.Faith is fundamental to inner strength.The distraught words of both had me dive into deep deliberations. Truly, some of us surprisingly squander time and energy on studying others and their lifestyles. The plenitude of posts and pictures, posted on social media platforms, seems to be profusely pandering to people’s prying minds. And the fabulous reward for fiery inquisitiveness is fluster/frustration in following up the ‘superficial’ fun-filled posts..Now, as an antidote, why not try assigning positive tweaks to negative inquisitive traits? For instance, say, at the workplace, when we identify an individual with inspiring qualities, we can be inquisitive enough to know how s/he imbibed those impressive attributes and later try instilling it in ourselves. Yes, one can foster feisty inquisitiveness in finding out about a fusillade of other things. Like, names of flowering trees during fun strolls in fabulous gardens; working of vehicle engines while commuting to work; significance behind several rituals/festivals … The diversified knowledge is akin to a deadly massive ocean, and data stored in us doesn’t equal even a droplet. Indubitably, there are dollops of knowledge to imbue rather than dissipating time in being ‘unduly inquisitive of unneeded issues’ – which delivers not a dime of dividend."> A few days ago, a friend was fuming and fretting over the ‘filthy inquisitive’ ways of her female colleague. “Her eyes, ears, and even olfactory senses are eternally trained on everyone/everything around.
