Things I wish people would realize

Firstly,
While the world of fashion is opening its doors to the plus size woman, it has not yet progressed in terms of variety.
First the size zero obsession, now a gradual acceptance of curves, but why this slow progress? Is a designer's horizon so limited that he/she can only focus on creating outfits for a certain body type? What about clothes for those women who are under 5ft 6 inches tall or those heavy on the hips alone? Or those with slightly more broad shoulders than the average woman? For the petite frame or the woman who's just had a baby and is looking for some great clothes to camouflage the extra weight? For the woman in the wheelchair? What about clothes for the rest of the world?

Secondly,
The thing about that first interview with a company is first impressions. Many of us take the trouble to put together a smart outfit, to be there a little earlier than required, to brush up on all the info about the company and the role etc, in short, we're on our best behaviour. After all, first impressions do matter. However, you dont always find the same approach on the other end.
How often have you waited at least three quarters of an hour (maybe much more) before they begin with the recruitment process? Has the interviewer ever interrupted you because of an 'important' call and have you waited five minutes wondering which direction to look in so that you don't appear to be eavesdropping while he/she answers the call right there? Have you ever waited a long time only to be told that they cannot accommodate so many people for the written test and that everyone waiting will surely be scheduled for interviews the following week? And that following week never happened till date? Yes we've all faced some of that if not all of it and I'm sure that if not you, then someone you know has had a similar experience.
First impressions work both ways. I wonder if they know that.

Thirdly,
In a country where matrimonials demand fair complexion of brides, States demand a separate entity, people of the west attack people of the north in a certain popular capital, a region of a southern state demands to be identified as a separate state, various types of institutions still have categories like caste and religion in their enrolment forms, regional bias exists when voting for talent shows, when renting out flats etc etc, where is the unity?
Before we talk of the difficulties we face abroad as non natives, let us examine ourselves and the regionalism, communalism, color bias, separatism and other such hurdles we all face right here as natives.

These are the things I wish people would realize, for now. I might just have a part two on it's way.
