In Tamil, there is a age old adage, that you should ask what is the salary to a man and age of a woman. Hope, people follow this saying in the work place as well.
This is a very very useful topic as far as my position is concerned. I am single,speprated. Now thats where people becomes so concerned about my personal life. Every time I appear for interview I have to answer, why I am single, why do I live alone. Why the hell people need to know that? Can you please provide one suitable answer to zip their mouth?

A job is just like that. U nvr know whn u r in an 'emergency' situation. U hv to be open for such situations, the more u r eager to accept, lesser will be chances of repetition.
I DO NOT WANT TO DISCUSS ANYTHING PERSONAL UNLESS THAT PERSON IS TOO CLOSE TO ME.......IT IS NOT ABOUT RESPECT OF ME BUT RESPECT OF SOMEONE WHOM U LOVE......ALTHOUGH BEING IN TRUE LOVE AND WANT TO MARRY SOMEONE IS NOT ANY WRONG ON WH. I FEEL ASHAMED...I AM ALWAYS PROUD FOR THAT.....
Because I am from Bihar, I never face this problem.
Such questions are directed at people who look like they can be embarrassed.
That is an advantage of being from Bihar. People don't generally go there with me.
Whenever I mention my name the first thing that comes to people's mind is UP and Bihari brothers sitting by the railway tracks or public roads trying to make railway or municipal land more fertile every morning.
The most personal question I have been asked is where I am originally from. Once I mention Bihar, they subtly grimace and change the topic.
And all you people think it is only bad to be from Bihar.

there is no use of being Bihari here. u r right that Such questions are directed at people who look like they can be embarrassed. Be confident n personal questions are avoided.
just straightaway say, I am not interested to discuss my personal life publicly, just do it, even if it hurts somebody let it be, the msg. will be reached, there are people who acts smart by embarrasing others in public gathering or office space, a little bit of rude reply corrects them
