Overvaluation and Undervaluation

 Some things we undervalue (my list- you can beat me up if you don't agree)

1. A smile.. or humour, in general. 

2. Children, by imposing our ideas on them

3. A cup of coffee or tea from the neighbourhood cafe/darshini/vendor

4. Beautiful people (not skin) from our immediate connects- friends, cousins, colleagues, other non-celebrities

To complete the piece, we overvalue

1. Speeches, most of which are insincere.

2. Adults

3. Fancy stuff, branded goods of whatever category..

4. Cricketers, film stars, celebs of whatever field (except academia? just kidding!)

I will stop here for now, for fear of being badly beaten up!

For starters you cannot be goodly beaten up. Although I hear you can be soundly beaten up. Latter sounds more like a drum than a person.

These Were Liked a Lot
