ROD (Rubric Of the Day)

ALOOF: Distant physically or emotionally; reserved and remote. At a distance but within view. He is reserved to keep dignity. An Aloof patient doesn’t get along with people easily. They never enter in to the intimate zone of others in physical and mental level. 75 centimetres around a person is considered as his intimate zone. Only a very close person shall enter in to your intimate zone for communication. Aloof person never enter in to this zone. He hesitates to shake hand with you without an invitation. He never asks your personal matters and even personal details. One of my friends in Jaycees (An international youth organization) doesn’t know the whereabouts of his fellow members. Once he was appointed as the programme director of an event. His duty is to call every member over telephone and to welcome the gathering. He literarily failed in these 2 duties because he doesn’t know what his fellow members so as to guests! Remember he was the winner of 100% attendance Award in the previous year. He presented in all meetings attended all training programmes but keep a distance from his fellow members! In another occasion one of the member of the same organisation brought all members and beautifully introduced not only the guest but also all members! He introduced each every member of our organization by narrating an event in their life and their reaction to that event. This introducer was a part of each event! He took initiative in others matter and played his role without anticipating a negative outcome. He made certain condition worsen because of his interference. When both these patients consulted me on different occasions I take Aloof for former and Meddlesome for the later.
