Pre conceived notions

Not talking about my notions towards any gadget or towards any person. Its exclusive about others notions towards me.

Alright, now that i traveled across oceans and i have a job, i am the happiest soul in their circle. Few weeks back, i was having conversation with Friend1: As a thumb rule, we started with Hi and How are you? Instead of giving a formal response that "i am doing fine", i gave a honest response "i am little above Ok". His unacceptability dumbfounded me.

This is happening again and again (i have many friends ;)). This response took me different phases, Dumbfounded -> got irritated -> got frustrated -> Smiled myself. During the last phase, i decided not to exhibit self pity any more, I started responding "I am good". I decided to keep it plain.

Now it was about me, i wish to write about a "fraternity" as well -

Yesterday i have been to a temple, there was an announcement about a Swamiji visiting Seattle next month. A lady was sharing her experience, She was so excited about Swamiji's program and her speech revolved around "i am greatful to swamiji, you can see that in my face. After attending that program, my life is beautiful and Blissful"

whats wrong lady? Do you think others life has no charm? She is not the first lady(person) i am seeing, who ever attends such a program makes a statement "my life is beautiful now". I was never convinced with these "Subtle" sentences. I just wonder, will these programs bust all my problems? I will try my best not to allow any problems to over take my joy. But these guys never listen to me, they are never convinced with the fact that "Others life is beautiful without any programs"

Now talking about me,

I have a problem. My curiosity overrides my patience and purpose many times. He is taking care of my visa processing and it got denied once and we applied it again. Now when ever, he wont pick my phone, my thoughts crosses boundaries and i cannot stand on that. I become more n more curious and i wish to be loner. when some one invades my privacy, i get more frustrated. Now i will make an impression on this guy and it adds fuel every time i face similar situation.

I am trying to avoid it, let us see if i can avoid it without attending any "bliss engineering"
