Chetan Bhagat’s The Girl in Room 105: Critically Appreciate Kaushal Desai
Like any other book, “The Girl in Room 105” title also contains a number likes ‘2 States’, ‘Five Points Someone’, ‘Revolution 2020’ etc. Having a number in the title has become the trademarked style for Bhagat. The book also has a lot of comedies for laugh and witty one-liners that you will enjoy.
However, something is different in the book. The book cover is not cartoonish like Bhagat’s other books. There is a photo of a real girl in the cover. The first impression from the cover is clear. This is also a romance book but with elements of mystery and tragic. There is no happy ending in the book this time.
This presentation seeks to deal with the characteristics of one of the basic element in our lives. If we appreciate how to act and treat this most important element, it will make us into better individuals.
Unwarranted criticism is a result of people’s own fears and insecurities than anything concrete. It is more a reflection of their own jealousies and feelings of being threatened.

We can all see some aspects in others that are indicative of who they are likely to become in the future. There are few surprises that we are likely to witness in the lives of others, because we can often clearly see where people are going, even before they can.
Arrogant behavior broadcasts to the world that you are weak and afraid, afraid for people to see who you really are. It can de detrimental to your career as well as your personal life.
3. April 17, 2015, around 2:30 pm, I decided to do this project. I was indecisive
about what I wanted to do. While commonly washing my hair I decided to not style my
hair and allow it to air dry. After my decision, I was very reluctant to doing this because
my hair is not one texture and I am very ashamed of this fact. I consider this a flaw of
mine. After allowing my hair to air dry, I decided to head out and run some errands. I
needed some things for the house, so I needed to run to Walmart. My car was recently
hit on campus, so I also had to get an estimate cost for the damages done. Walking out
of my house, in Lake Charles, I saw my neighbors, Mrs. Mary and Mr. Robert, who are
up in age and are accustomed to a particular look they deem appropriate as well as an
understanding of how I carry myself on a regular basis. Their initial reaction was
nonchalant and normal. They welcomed me as if nothing was wrong. I was actually
waiting on Mrs. Mary to ask me what I have done to my hair because she knows that it
is always changing. After chatting for a while, I finally asked her how she felt about my
hair, and her response was “is it finished yet.” I thought it was hilarious and explained to
her my project and she proceeded to explain how I could actually wear my hair that way
because she has recognized a trend of people wearing their hair like that; her husband
said he liked it so much better than the dreadlocks on “the women.”
While we were talking, my mom was approaching our house and before actually
pulling in the driveway, she stopped in the middle of the street with the most disgusted
look on her face. I could not help but laugh, I tried to pretend as if I just up and decided
to wear my hair like this, but she was not having it. She demanded an explanation.
Once I explained, she still proceeded to say that it looks “very unorganized,” which led
to my little sister saying, “ya look uncivilized.” I knew that my family or friends would
4. take this incongruity well. I asked my mom if I could go with her to one of her preacher
wives’ events and she came up with so many, in my opinion, ungodly reason to why I
couldn’t attend her event. So, I left to get the estimate on my car. On the way there I
could not help but notice that people in others cars at stoplights were giving me some
strange looks. On my arrival, the man who would perform the estimate on my car gave
me a subtly surprised look, but said nothing about my appearance. I then felt a tad
convicted of showing up to a professional setting dressed inappropriately. Therefore, I
explained to him that I was doing a project. He said that my appearance would not have
interfered with the estimate. He continued to say, “If you want my opinion, you do look
kind of “wow.” We walked back into the office and he insisted I ask his colleague for her
opinion. She said her initial thought was I might have recently gone through a rough
wind/rain storm. We laughed and continued with the business of my estimate.
I then began running my errands, and grew quite uncomfortable going into stores
like Wal-Mart and Famly Dollar because I had relationships with many of the
employees, especially because of my association as “Pastor and Mrs. Campbell’s
daughter.” After receiving a plethora of strange looks and a few distant chuckles, I
began to ask people, “What were your initial thoughts of me?” A woman said I looked a
“tad cave womanish,” but I would have just be going natural. Her son said that he liked
my hair; it just looked similar to a chicken. I also took in consideration of how many
people did not react at all to my hairstyle. After returning home from running errands, I
grew leery of showing my friends how I decided to wear my hair for the day. I already
knew that they were my worst critics. I was the one that they looked to for the most
recent trends, especially because of what I decided to major in. They invited me in and
5. harmonically screamed. I was ambushed with questions of why I did it and thought it
was ok to wear my hair like this. My friend, Ciaara, the hairstylist, insisted she do
something to my hair. I stopped her and explained that I had a few more hours to wear
my hair like this. Khadijah and Precious, after understanding the criteria of my project,
were laughing so hard tears were coming out of their eyes which led to me laughing
because I know my friends love me even though they found an extreme amount of
humor in me walking around like that. Ciaara set an alarm on her phone because she
just had to do something to my hair. While she impatiently waited by her phone, the
other two seemed to not have been bothered by my hair at all. As the 9 o’clock hour
approached, I was itching to do something with my hair because walking around like
that was treacherous.
6. Questions to Ponder
The reviews received with my program of dress were definitely consistent. The
people who I interacted with definitely gave opinions that one would give to a person
walking around as if they either did not care about their appearance to others or of one
who though to attempt a new trend. They were more negative than positive. There
seems to be an opposition towards those who chose to go against what society says is
appropriate. The reviews, also, were definitely expected. I expected people to respond
negatively to my appearance because it was out of my character as well as a violation
of southern Louisiana social norms. Pertaining to myself, the way I wore my hair was
definitely inconsistent. I was reared in a way that a woman should make herself at least
presentable to the public, and the way I wore my hair and the response my mother gave
to my hair definitely proves that as a fact.
I must admit, this project was indeed a challenge for me because of the way I
was raised. I also can admit that many of my insecurities have formed from me being
raised to look of a certain prestige because of the reputations I contribute to. I also have
to form my own reputation as an individual. My neighbor, without any motivation
explained to me that I should understand my beauty no matter how I dress or wear my
hair. My initial emotions were regretful and wanting those six hours to already be over.
Those emotions grew into a sense of confidence because of the initial reactions of my
neighbors, especially, Mrs. Mary. Her words rang in my mind as I entered every setting,
that I am beautiful no matter how I present myself.
7. Factors like my insecurities and my vivid understanding of how many people
perceive me affected to accuracy of how interpreted the responses from others. I am
one who takes what people think about men affect how I present myself as well, as how
I think. I am working on improving some of those insecurities of mine, but I do have
grown to understand trends in how I allow people to control me. The explaining to those
who opinions I received about my project sight have slightly tainted their opinions.
I learned that appearance is very important and conformity in appearance does
not brutally affect high school students but everyone. Conformity in dress is a very large
contribution to social norms in society. It is of an importance that is not that has not
been recognized by the individual because it is not thought of as a basic human need to
the average individual. The vast majority of the meanings associated with my dress
were either my hair was not finished or it just looked horrible.
From this experience, I learned so much about myself. I am very capable of
understanding my beauty no matter what I wear. I also learned that I am very high
maintenance. I learned that though many people notice flaws, the number is double by
those who find positive things about you. I also learned that my little sister loves the fact
that I can do strange things like alter my daily appearance and continue to love myself. I
also understand that my appearance is tremendously involved in everything I do. It also
has a great effect on why certain people interact with me. Though this effect, I do not
allow my appearance to define me or how I interact with people. I loved this project, but
I will not dress this way again.
