It was a busy day for me. I was running here and there as a busy ant. Oh!! The street was a mess. I was waiting in the traffic almost one and half hours just gazing at the long queue of vechiles, I just felt as we all are in a competition running in quest for dollars. 

  " Beep....beep....bee..beep..." the awful horns made me more worse on all vechiles and some drivers were in arguments.


" You monkey can't you take a car and drive what is this you have like a Bullock cart. Can't you drive it fast, or let me ahead "


" You idiot where are you heading...

Can't you see there is a queue..you drunkard."


No...no...my head was full of all these horrible sounds. Oh... thanks slightly the traffic jam decreases, I felt soo hot and I turned on the AC and for relaxation I just turned on the music. I was near to the street. First of all I had to do some shopping at Louis Mall, it had some of my favourite designer clothes. 


I was just on the elevator , suddenly my eyes were fixed on a young couple who was well off  , dressed in branded clothes with rich handbags and the boy was wearing rich branded clothes. I thought they might be living a grand life with no obstacles. Oh!! I have to choose clothes now... While I was choosing clothes I just heard a conversation. 


" Bill, today you are not going for the club, did you hear me." 


" Baby, please listen me....just forget all the past... here is my credit card take whatever you like" 


" Thanks, I want something new." 


I didn't wait more inside the shopping mall since I had so many duties to do. I just went near the cashier to pay for my clothes. The rich couple was too, the girl was in the queue and I suddenly noticed that the particular boy was interested in other girls who were choosing clothes at the shopping mall.


" Sorry, mam this card this expired we cannot take this. Will you pay in cash please?"


The girl's face was red as a reddish tomato and felt embarrassed as there were many Customers were gazing at her stylish manner. She ran to his boyfriend Bill and murmured something, unexpectedly this murmuring became a huge noise.


" You...Caroline.... get rid off me I don't want you anymore. You wasted all my money for shopping malls, I have many overdue bills to pay..if you need to buy pay it yourself" 


The girl was speechless and she burst into tears and ran away. No....I didn't wait more to watch...it is like gossip... While I was coming out off the shopping mall, my eyes were fixed on a simple couple who were dressed in simple clothes.


" My honey, I'm sorry....if I had more money I would have buy more clothes for you from Louis shopping mall." 


" No babe, i didn't even believe we are going to shop there. Clothes are not so much matter but pure love is matter." 


They walked away smiling....I just stopped near a cafe as I was starving to death. Until my menu was arrived I just tried to figure out the couples which I saw recently, how they behave. It was unbelievable. Anyway, the society treats them differently, judging them on their appearance and the way they act and so on.


Oh... next to my table, there was a stylish couple, they were just having some snapshots with only one coffee cup and one sandwich. They were sharing it and they were bursting in laughter showing the simple couples who walk at the roadside.


" See..see..that's Daniel...walking...see...how shabby clothes and his girl friend wearing a frock...that is too old in fashion"


( they laugh at high voice and some Customers frowned at them )


After there snapshots they left, I just saw that there was no tip left for the waiter. Alas!! they have ruined the place with spilling coffee whole over the table and bits of sandwich lying all over the floor.


I had my meal and when I was trying to leave the place, the waiter just spoke to me.


" Mam, did you these the how did that couple acted " 


I smiled and nodded and went away without involving in the conversation. Since my mind didn't urge me to involve in others judgement. 


While, I was driving back to home  it was evening. I just tried to think what I saw in the shopping mall and the cafe, they just disturbed me. A man or a woman must not be judged through clothing or the luxury acting but through it's through their behaviour. 


What I  Iearnt is that we must not judge a person as soon as we see him or her. " Don't judge a book by its cover"
