Nope Nope

I looked at my watch just now, and realized how people these days judge everything by its look, or at least by how a thing makes them feel when they use it, or how it makes them look.

Call me basi, I know I am, but we are so blinded by that. I know I could get a so much better watch with better quality and specification than this one, with a lesser price but apparently I ended up buying this one instead -only because how it looks good on me. 

Unfortunately, we use that same principle over people, when it comes to interviewing. Isn't it so bias? Brata and I got into this discussion on how a candidate used color contact lenses that didn't match her skin tone. Really? Isn't that so low? But that's exactly what happened. 

We just couldn't stand commenting on people's appearance, could we? But to use that as one consideration, are you serious? Well, in one occassion he said, 'I am going to work with that person, remember?'

So yes, that kind of rules (judging a book by its cover) applies everywhere, however idealistic you'd like to defend whatever you want to defend. 

It's so mean, but it happens in today's world, dear. We purchased shoes sometimes not because they suit us comfortably, but because they make us look gorgeous in there. Even if we feel terrible in them. What a stupid fact.
