You are not that bad!

People who believe in first impressions don't like me much. As an inane introvert, I don't go and speak with some strangers. I call it the reserved attitude, but people call it arrogancy. Once my friend told me "When I saw you for the first time, I thought you are a guy with lot of thimiru (arrogancy); who wants to talk to you?". This is the honest feedback on my first impression. Nothing got changed till now. It still remain same but for people who follow my blog. Now I am getting feedbacks as a guy with some sensible thoughts too ;

Three months ago, when I spoke about my love to my girl, she wanted me to meet her sister and brother-in-law. That meeting idea made me more conscious. You got to market yourself in those situations, which I had never done before. Frankly, I don't believe in my look or my first impression. Baffling situation gave me some confidence also. I said to myself "You are not going to lose anything. If meeting goes positive, you may end up with two more friends. So cool and be yourself".

Me:  "Hey, how good you akka and athimber are?"
She: "They are very nice people, you will enjoy the dinner with them"
Me:  "Ohh, that good to hear, I want to give them a good first impression. What's gonna be your dress for the evening?"
She: "Why?"
Me:  "Thought we could wear some dress which will make us look like made-for-each-other pair"
She: "Comeon....let's not pretend ok? We are. We will be ourself"

Later we meet them in the restaurant. They are indeed nice couple, found myself comfortable in speaking to them. We, techies, share a common thread which can weave us in one society. We had lot of common topics to chat about. And I was in my high spirits that day. Besides, their friendly attitude made me feel at home. After hours of chat, we left for the day. I pinged my girl in the next day morning to know about my feedback.
She: "You are not that bad da! They liked you. You got some sensible thoughts also in your head"
Me : "Thank god. You made my day"
