The Cuss Words

Hello Readers! This is Ajinkya here!

I am new to Vocal media. I like writing, expressing my thoughts & ideas in the form of words onto a piece of paper or a word or a google document. I was in constant search of platforms to write & share my stories, ideas & experiences. I was in constant search of an audience who can read my stories, ponder upon, comment & share a feedback on how are my ideas, my thoughts, my stories.

Today in 21st century, we live in a world of social media influencers & content creators who make us aware about each & every thing be it any stuff of day-to-day usage or anything bigger be it pursuing higher education abroad. Social media influencers & content creators are there for us.

From some random Social Media Influencers & Bloggers, I came to know about Vocal Media. I realized that Vocal Media is that very platform I was looking for to reach out to people, reach out to an Audience. People who can read me & know me because of my stories.

I surfed on Vocal & came across this community of 'Confessions' where we can share about our experiences we have been through out our lives so far. Be it of happiness, jealousy, sorrow, love life or any moment of embarrassment. This community has a room for every story & every confession. Mine is not a long one or a great either, but a short description of the feeling of embarrassment I went through in my childhood.

So, this incident took place a very very long time ago. Almost about 12-13 years back, when I was in secondary school. I do recall I was in 6th or 7th grade back then. At that time, I used to go & come back from school with my 3-4 friends who used to stay in my locality itself.

On one fine evening, when we all were returning home after a busy day at school, there was one girl amongst our friends who started behaving very weird. She started teasing us, mimicking us & was creating noise walking on the road. It was all fun till it was between us friends. But, things started to take shape differently & little did we know what was in store for all of us that evening.

Her mischief was increasing. Every passerby on the road was giving us an annoying look & why not. She was making such a noise without any reason that everyone was getting disturbed. And soon, she crossed the limits.

She started mouthing expletives; the cuss words. We were about to reach our home. But, she was on. We tried to shut her mouth but every effort was in vain. At the same moment, a middle aged man, dressed as a corporate, was talking to someone on a phone call. Here, our friend was mouthing those cuss words & some miles away, that corporate guy would have been talking about some business. He got disturbed because of her noise & suddenly, he stopped talking on phone, turned towards us & started scolding us. We school kids got frightened by this sudden scolding by a stranger on road. He interrogated that girl, why was she mouthing such bad words on road that too so loudly & disturbing everyone?

Soon the locals came in between & sorted the matter. We all apologized to that guy & left the scene. That one girl from our group created that ruckus but the whole group bears the brunt.

That day was of great embarrassment & also of a deep lesson.

Won't forget that day anytime in my life.
