Beware of MotorMouths!

There are 3 kinds of people in this world: those who talk less, those who talk what they need to and those who talk a LOT! Lets leave the first 2 categories at peace and attack the 3rd one: People who talk a lot. What do they talk about? ANYTHING. Just make a mistake of starting a conversation with them and you'll find yourself becoming a victim of their non-stop chatter on various subjects ranging from synthetic chemistry of colloidal nanocrystals to rava dosa and onion chutney combination. The first time you listen to this person, you'll be awed by his/her knowledge thinking it is genuine knowledge. But after a while as you listen to that person more often, you'll realize the dark reality of these motormouths. The dark reality is, they just talk and do nothing. Just nothing! The annoying part: they repeat their favourite topics again and again even if you're not interested in that topic at all and the worst part: you end up wasting your PRECIOUS time! It can be really hard at times to have such people around you, in your family or at your work place. In family it's easier to avoid them but when it comes to work place, it is hell cuz you just cannot escape them, especially if that person happens to be at a senior level or worse, your guide/boss. So how do you escape them? Just plug your ears, scream and run away. Heh. Now, you wish you could actually do that but you can't. Best way is to simply stay away from them and when you have to face them, well, what you can do is - just sit there, plug your mind and meditate.
~Om Shanti Om~
Now, why I wrote this blog..?

I have a similar (parallel) experience.. Those people who always keep talking of past (esp. their past) and I am emphasizing "Always".. sometimes, is good and okays.. And if one walks looking back, then a crash is almost inevitable.. also, who look just on the ground at the present without having relevance to future.. again not looking in front (i.e. our Dreams, wishes, plans and alike)...
And I am fed up of "IRRITATED" by some 'such' persons having some and combinations of these traits.. "I warn them on face if it gets too much or off time" :) [Your note was thought provoking (You are)]
