Appraisal

Its that part of the year when u r evaluated for all the wrong and the lil good u have done for the past 365 days.

Appraisals are as important as my 10^th class because we would beg and plead for a double-digit score in tests just to smile away for one extra marks we scored compared to our rival in the class.

In schools and college we got evaluated thru tests and marks cards. In childhood by parents and siblings and ofcourse the unwanted relatives.after marriage till we die we get evaluated by husband, his family, his relatives and then our kids and so on…In office by people above us. Is their any point in life when we r not evaluated for whatever we do??

Its only when I filled in my appraisal today I realized how badly we are always been pin pointed for all wrong and not given any credit for all the good we do.. We always did just what the society or family would accept it as good. And the trend continues. Even with 20 yrs of solid education and exposures to different things we still get appraised by others and we still bother about it in every aspect of life personally and professionally.

Gals may be we are called the modern, educated, super women with multi tasking abilities which are way above men’s capability but still its just we who are always eveluated in life. Its just we who are expected to accept every unwanted and undesired change in life with a big SMILE. If just being all this makes me a WOMAN then I seriously think am not happy being a woman.

With probably more than half my life gone into acquiring qualities as expected by OTHERS I’m just thinking.

Can we ever change this view of life??? Can we ever live without doing things for others. Can we also be a little narcicist?
