The Perfect eyebrow!

As far as I know,I never had one.  I have failed the standards set by society for as long as I remember and completely succumbed to people staring at my eyebrows and secretly and sometimes not so secretly ( in fact right on the face) judging me for my substandard maintenance techniques.

However to this day, I do not understand what a perfect eyebrow looks like. Every other person has a different definition to it. My experience and research suggests that the thicker the brow, the more is its acceptance rate. If unintentionally one gets a tad bit bushy there, your mum wont let you live in peace. And if its thinner, the parlor lady will suck every inch of confidence from that petty soul of yours.

Mentioning the parlor ladies is of utmost importance here. They think they come with the authority to humiliate every other less interested and clueless individual with deformed eyebrows.

"What have you been doing to them? "they would ask,clearly questioning my ability to do any good at all in my life.

Well, you know the last time I checked I left the same parlor with the eye brow technician posing to have performed some heroic act on my face.Two weeks later I would stand nowhere when technically all I did was let them grow!

Some would also release their disappointment while they are threading away, a little twitch here and a little there. Irrespective of all that, never question their integrity towards your eyebrows. Learn to embrace the pain for its for the better.

A question that  for sure will mess up with your brain cells is "What shape will you like to prefer?" When I was first attacked by this interesting query, I without much a thought replied with, "I would like to have a normal eyebrow."

 Considering the expressions I received in return, I knew that didn't go well. As years went by and as weirdest of fashion trends evolved, types of eyebrows that one can choose from have also outnumbered the types of hair cuts one can have.

There's a soft angled eye brow and then there's a hard angled eyebrow. To this day, I am unable to differentiate the two but as the names suggest they should be opposite to one another.

The flat shaped eyebrow is well, flat whereas the S-shaped eyebrow has this tiny curve and ends with a tail. It certainly looks like a  little snake fixed above your eye. Why would anybody even want to have it?

To top it all, there's the weirdest Exotic type. If anything it does, is not make you look exotic at all. Horrible, yes!
Given the types of eyebrows existing in the world today, I don't regret asking for a "normal" type that first time.

One thing is for sure that the concept of a perfect eyebrow will continue to bewilder the universe till the end of times and the parlor ladies will unapologetically observe to demean the poor clients like myself. The only key to success here is to don't let that confidence ooze away and wear that façade of I know it all about my eyebrows, lady! You'll end up with an eyebrow that suits your face and not that  dramatically ruin it only because what's trending! Keeping it natural is the only way forward.
That's the closest I've been to The Perfect eyebrow!

5 types of annoying colleagues

Blessed are you if you have good colleagues. The kind is so rare, it hurts! People usually complain about their bosses being the villains in their lives but we fail to acknowledge that an annoying colleague is a bigger pain in the ass.

My four years of working in a corporate environment has given me the opportunity to interact with different characters from various backgrounds especially those I never in my wildest of dreams want to be associated with.

Here are a few that deserve a mention.

Note: Any resemblance to any person  below is intentional. If any of these personality traits strike a chord  with you, my job's done!

The opportunist


This person wears a façade of humility and  friendly attitude who initially, very convincingly manages to take you in his trap.

 Opportunist will look for anything and everything that give them the possibility to portray themselves as  hard workers, committed,loyal and inspiring workers. In reality they are just  limelight hoggers.

 By the time you realize what's actually been happening, the damage has been done. An opportunist is quicker to act and apparently is  far more a clever planner than you are.

The only way to deal with them is to make a good judgment at the start. If you aren't dumb and don't take longer than usual to understand personalities, you will be able to point out these morons easily at an early stage and be able to avoid them.


The JD fanatic

This guy will pull out his job description every time you ask for help in a job that is well out of his JD. In extreme cases he can unhesitantly  question the boss's order too. Typical stance being, "this is not what I am paid for".

Annoyingly, they will every time shift that job to the other person, putting an argument that it suits their JD more than it suits his even if it doesn't. These guys can either succeed well in their game to an extent that they manage to convince everyone the importance of a JD and how important it is to work within it or they fail badly and eventually lose their jobs.

If you work in an environment where all employees are treated equally and nepotism is a forbidden concept (in other words a very ideal workplace which seems to be non-existent) a JD fanatic will eventually loose. However in the real world, bosses have their favorites and a guy  will always dare to do something like this when he knows he has a stronger force behind.

Its always good to take up work from colleagues in the initial days of your career because every job is new and every work teaches a different thing. However its your right to question when it becomes a norm by a boss's favorite!

The Sweet as Honey


Be aware of them. Change your course, if you see them coming your way. You might think I sound negative and that some people are genuinely sweet. Yes honest, sweet people are super consistent with their attitude and you know when you work around them.

The fake ones are super professional with their tricks and know what works best with the bosses. In their company, you are ought to feel side-lined because that's exactly what they will be doing to you by simultaneously sympathizing with your circumstances because well they are sweet.

The Traitor


This person is your friend. Your gossip friend. But this person is more of your supervisor's friend who you usually gossip about. This person is a traitor.

Part ways as soon as you realize. You have already acted dumb enough!

The Clingy


1- They share your lunch.
2- Ask for lifts from home to work and vice versa religiously.
3- Never return your borrowed stationery.
4-Take up your workspace whenever they feel convenient.
5-At worst,use your pc for their own job without your approval.

They are clingy yet most harmless. Love them at your own risk!
