Are you snooping around?

Lets be true to ourselves… How many times have we caught ourselves doing this? Cant remember?

While traveling in the packed train /bus, waiting in a long queue to buy tickets at a multiplex, in the kitchen while your husband/mother in law is chatting to someone, while passing the Boss’ cabin, conversations in the adjacent cubicle, phone conversations of a colleague, gym acquaintances, while getting a manicure in your parlour ….and the antique one- Cross connection conversation on phones etc…the list goes on….

Wikipedia describes Eavesdropping as an act of secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent!

But eavesdropping is more than just listening in. It's glancing over at someone else's laptop screen to see what they're doing. It's peering into an apartment window as you walk by. It's catching a glimpse through a door that's slightly ajar

Common, dont deny…it’s OK… remember the movie  'What women want'…all that the guy does is eavesdrop. But Of course that’s in minds of women around him…but definitely it was a form of snooping…

If you still believe you aren’t one of them, lets look at this: Scanning through Facebook photos, viewing comments on status updates, tweeting, blackberring etc.  are also a form of evasdropping…

Eavesdropping is an "evolved human practice that is natural and often beneficial," says, a linguistics professor at the York. Researchers today suggest that snooping is not bad at all. How would one prevent crimes like bomb threats, child abuse, etc if everyone minded their own business without peering at the World around?

So lets not be ashamed of it…as far as I am concerned it’s a healthy way of exercising your mind and sharpening your senses. Just like reading a book…It’s a natural way of expressing your curiosity as long as you know your limits…For a brief time it takes you out of your World in to others World! As long as you take it lightly, its harmless, mute form of learning…sometimes you would learn things that no classroom would teach you…don’t believe me? Try it out for yourself!
