TYPES OF GUESTS IN INDIA

Disclaimer: The opinions written in this post are only for fun. Not to hurt anyone feelings.

“Athidhi Devo bhava” the slogan we Indians literally follow.

 It says the guest is equal to God, the host needs to treat them the same. Not all the time we can host with a warm heart. Some guests are helpful, some are irritating, and some people force us to leave the place. Let’s have a look at the types of people behaves as guests:

1. Nosy:

They say the sky is the limit. Whatever the issue is, whether it is a discussion after 10^th classpath or decision of marriage, they can poke their nose. In addition to that, they give their valuable advice. They might be feeling it is our home and interested in everyday life.  Is it so irritating? Yes of course!! You cannot like the people who are asking even your kitchen cumin seeds brand also.

Our inner voice will be “Can you keep your dirty nose out of us?? We have some private things to do!!”

2. Angry:

Only God knows why they are angry always. They don’t like the place where we place the glass; they don’t like the way we walk or talk. They always question our lifestyles. In general, these people will be elderly, and we cannot argue with them (Thanks to parents who said it is rude to argue with elders).

3. Helping:

Helping people is one in a million. If we are lucky, the one will be at our guests!!

They help with handling our kids while we are serving, lend a helping hand in the kitchen.

4. Cunning:

What to say about this type? Most of the guests come under this type. I hope all of you can relate to this point. The cunning nature is not serious, but you can smell in their voice. I think God has made their tongue with two layers.  They can talk about anything in front of us.

5. Unknown:

These people can be seen only in wedding s and big functions, they come, ask how we are doing, offer their valuable advice, even at times offer their help. After weddings or functions, they abscond. We cannot recognize them if we were away from functions for a long time. Their standard dialogue will be “Be in touch with us, there will be no relationship without communication. Do come to our home once”

Our inner voice will be “By the way, who the hell are you?’’

5. Jealous

Jealousy is the inbuilt emotion for everyone. But these people can be jealous even if we buy a new cell phone. They use statements like “Is it a new model?” “How much do you make a month?” “You are looking good in this dress”. We can sense their jealousy, even if they talk sweet.

6. Irritating:

Not all guests are irritating. But there are few who can irritate by their name itself. They can’t understand our moods, our situation; they keep on asking questions and need answers immediately. They can ask embarrassing questions in public and poke for the answers. One of my cousins was sleeping when a granny came. Granny was expecting a warm welcome from their family. All the family members greeted her, except my cousin (who is sleeping). Granny literally woke her up and asked: “Are you sleeping, dear?”

7. Flirty:

If you are a girl, you may experience flirting from young boys (of the same age). But the unexpected is from old uncles too. You cannot say this is sexual harassment, but you cannot complain about either. They wear an affection mask for the flirting.

8. Calm:

Guests are talkative. As we don’t meet them daily, they will be talkative. Calm guests are rarest of rare. But these are harmless, talk to the point people.

10. OCD:

Did you ever have them in your house? If a person with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder visits us for Dusshera or Sankranthi, you cannot celebrate the festivals. I am dead sure about this. They are eager to teach us the importance of cleanliness and pity us for being dirty all the time.

11. Verbal diarrhoea:

No offence anyone!!! This disease kills us. These people boast, boast, boast about what they/their children have achieved. These people are the exact opposite to calm people.

“You know my son dances very well, even Mr.Prabhudeva asked for his performance”

“Not all get a job after graduation, my daughter got. Maybe your child needs more talent?”

“We bought a house with 1 crore”

“We usually travel in flight”

Usually, our inner voice will be “What should we do now?”

12. Too much frank:

“Your  tea making skills are like tea saucer”

“I will be honest, you need to have the talent to crack this exam, work hard”

“Don’t take it personally; this attire is not the apt one to wear.”

They express their opinions very frankly, they make us believe that they were right all the time and they expect to say “yes you are right and sorry for doing it”.

Never know what happiness they can get from this.

13. Wealthy

Whatever our financial status is, there will be one who is above our financial status. These people fall under two categories, helpful and boasting. I think there is nothing to explain, you all might have experienced how they would be!!

I will stop with these 13 types because you all know what number 13 symbolises. Sometimes we become a guest the others. So try to be helpful and calm!!
