It was on the 15th of August,2011.Me,my younger brother and three of my friends-Khen Vualnam,MS and Suan were on our way to Cannaught Place to watch a movie in PVR Rivoli. Any movie it may be, we had a plan to watch and enjoy the movie.It was a just a simple plan.We started moving from South Delhi by a Delhi Metro.There was just an awkward scene,so to say, that happened in the metro..
My younger brother wore a T-shirt tag "Nazi Germany" on that very day. What happens was that there were a Jewish family of 4 who saw my bro's T-shirt.The tag on the shirt couldn't keep their eyes away out of it.Then the son, with full of curiosity, approached and asked us whether we support the Nazi's or not. In fact wearing that shirt with the tag doesn't mean we are supporting the Nazi's and hated the Jewish people. Then the only choice i have is to explain the circumstances behind the scene. Perhaps, we were not aware of any sort of that things, no political motives, no sides, no nothing.
He asked us,''are you from this place?''
I replied, "yes we are from this place.''
"may i help you?"
"Do you support the Nazi's?"
"no, not at all.why?"
"I see the tag and i'm a little curious"
"Oh i see.my mom, who does not know about the history, bought for my brother and he unapparently put it on the shirt.just as simple as that"
Then he asked my brother,"do you know what does this symbolize?"(pointing the tag-on)
Since i am a little ashamed of everyone and also he started explaining how evil it symbolizes, i said,
"i know your history and i'll explain everything to him"
Eventually he went away and i was relief a little-bit.
Then my friend Suan reminded me that people in this world are so sensitive. In the mean time i was not much aware of too many things, in the sense that we do not have much of guilty feelings cause we do not have any fault about it by just wearing the shirt.
We deboard the metro and ran for tickets.
We watched the movie with full of joy.
Things came to my mind only after i reached my room. I was thinking that how is it that people could just come approached me and asked about the shirt that we wore. I asked myself do i look so invaluable and disrespectful that someone could just talk about and asked what they were curious for. It irritated me a lot.
However, the fact is that he didn't seem matter at all when he got back to his place. I have my rights to claim that i have the freedom to wear any shirt i want. But dramatically i did not express any of these ideas of mine. What made me irritated is that the scene happened in front of the passengers watching the drama.
Perhaps i could learn some lessons from the experienced.That, no more wearing shirt with a tag based on some racial,cultural,historical and political issues which could hurt people's sentiments. In other words, seizing the ignorance in this way of life.
This made my day the most embarrassed, irritated and pathetic moment of my life.
