There are plenty of misconceptions of what is cool and what is perceived to be 'cool'. Living in a world (Bangladesh) that loses itself in the limbo of time, I have to admit, gets me irritated. The old school nature and the dabbing of the fingers of the present really does not mix. Just the past couple of days, I have realized there has been way too many examples of what is actually 'cool' - sheik - taken and presented in the wrong way.

• Not classy: Wearing a tight shirt that suffocates your entire torso. Who in the world told your scrawny butt (even the WWE wannabes) that it was perfectly fine wearing tight-douche-bag-shirts? We are talking about in a country in which 9 months of the year it is pure disgusting humidity. No one wants to see your shirt's scar oozing out of your pits zone.
• Yes, there is a way to eat certain foods. This just doesn't happen here in South Asia but pretty much everywhere. When you order pizza at a restaurant, 5 star or not, you eat it with your hands! The Italians themselves would be insulted if they saw you eating with a fork and a knife! Seriously? Since we are on the subject, it doesn't hurt to do some homework in how to eat pasta/spaghetti.
• I don't care who you are never put someone on blast in public. You might think you are embarrassing the other person by shouting insults and possessing a foul mouth, but you are only embarrassing yourself. Regardless of the mistake committed by the other person, you simply refrain yourself from saying anything in public. Your personal business is your personal business; keep things behind closed doors. Even behind closed doors, don't delude yourself in thinking you may get away with whatever you want.
• The ten pounds of make-up! I still don't understand what possesses a woman to dip her face in powder as if it were Scarface all over again. I keep a firm stance on women who think putting a mask on, literally, makes them 'look' better...it doesn't. Wake up. The best a woman can look is at a natural state. Now, not everyone can appreciate that so light (very light) make-up is the farthest I can tolerate. If you take of yourself by eating right and keeping healthy, all of that make-up should be left for a costume party.
• Talking behind people's back, I'm sure is a universal stuck-up habit by many people - mostly women. You may think you are above others by talking about someone specific in your current group behind his or her back. Do not kid yourself. I have always told people never to speak ill of someone if they are not around. This goes to everyone, even my family. I'm sure I have a couple of ignorant individuals who aren't too fond of me but they should know I never speak ill of them. If I am criticizing you, it's for a good reason to show you the door into a home that should better yourself.
