You know, the other day, i was holding up this 'piece of work' i had done, for one of my computer assignments.. and this gurl walks in and she looks at it, and she says, 'ahan...what's that?'
And i said, 'it's mareena's piece..for our framework..in computers'.
And she makes a weird kinda face.
So i take advantage of the moment, and tell her that I think it sux, personally and it doesnt look like what he wanted at all... mean not evn close... and i asked her what she thot..and she said,
'Honestly...it doesn't look right at all. Honest opinion, no way.'
And i smiled. We indulged in normal conversation for the next 5min, until, i took the piece up again and smiled at her and said, 'I think i've got to chnage this... if he's gonna hate it, and if it doesnt look right, i cnt give my work up'
She was shocked and moreover embaressed.
'Sorry' she said, totally flushed, ' i didnt know it was yours.'
In other words, I'd be honest, only if you werent here. :)
I love this gurl bdw, this is in no way an attack on her... it's just highlighting a way of life... taking the easier way out of situations...doing what would put YOU in a comfortable position, rather than taking the hit/being honest and telling someone they suck.
What if everyone told everyone they sucked, to their faces?
Where would the world be? At an understand level... or at a total, friendly level.
I say none... the world would definately, cease to exist.
Ps- Ritesh is labeled cause he told her to be honest, after she was dead on embaressed.

lol .. this reminds me of one intense discussion i took part in my first semester of college in 2006 .. philosophy class ..
'When is lying justified?'
lol we had all the usual answers like "to protect ppl from the truth" and stuff like that ..
but you've discovered something here! your act of lying encouraged the other girl to be truthful!
nice .. plus i bet ure 'piece of work' got good grades ..
