Hi,
You are in a difficult situation, probably you have been brought up in a free atmosphere that is why you are feeling the difference.
My suggestions are
1. For the time being- In Rome do as Romans do.
2. Get some work experience and then get out of Rome.
Get to a metro like Delhi/NCR where you will not face this kind of problem.
The interiors of our country are still living in stone age as far as treatment of women is concerned
so its better to leave such places rather than continue getting frustrated.
Because the problem is sticking for too long in such places is that
very soon YOU MAY BECOME ONE OF THEM.

Hi Kriti,
It's a human nature "curiosity" and it’s a very common thing in the small town like Agra, it may be a plus point also that the people of such places interested in other, not like Metros where nobody bothers for other, it’s definitely not a question of stone age and backwardness of people, it's just a mindset and which is now improving, you may feel awkward and bad this because you are new to this kind of atmosphere, and leaving the job for a silly reason, that others are not happy is not a good idea, I feel the suggestion given by Mr. Sayeed and Mr. Vikash are very good and will help you.
Best of luck.
and the tag line of Manish is very good ""Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people. If I'm not there, I go to work!!!"

Hi kriti,
As per my experience you should not bother what others say or think because if you know that you are right then you are..the most difficult situation is when you have to answer your conscious...the main matter of concern is your head/boss,then do clarify if he says something and if he does not say anything but only behaves abnormal because of this...then you can say(by yourself) that ...."sir here the people are quite different,they donot like when a boy talks to girl..i can share this with you because you are matured,broad minded and can understand"...this line would definitely change his view if not permanent but atleast for you...and this is what our matter of concern is
Hope this will work !!!

Dear Kriti,
I would suggest some things:
One, list down the purpose for you being at that place - in detail.
This will clear things for you in the first place. That is bcoz if you are sure of what you are there for, you will hardly get time to waste on other irrelevant opinions.
Two, time is extremely important, so while you spend time understanding people and culture there, focus on what really matters to you and your growth - in the long run. Keep working and performing on areas that are out of your responsibility too. This will indirectly inform everyone that they have a mute leader among them, always ready to contribute and make a difference, and not just to pass time.
Three, be honest to yourself and your intentions. What people think about your moves is their problem, not yours.
Everything happens for a purpose, so rather than getting bothered about what ppl think, keep following your heart and you will keep feeling good from within irrespective of what keeps happening outside..
Let me know if you need any further support on the same.
I am learning and living in a similar situation, and just sharing the way i m growing at my workplace..
Warm Regards,
Kirtan..

Dear Ma'am,
I think the discussed subject is only one side of the coin.
Throughout my career, i have seen so many offices/establishments where employees chat with each other without any valid reasons ultimately resulting in not only low productivity but also spoiling the quality of other employees who continue to work nearby. The common places are Water/Tea Vending machines, Meeting Rooms, Lounges and even workstations etc. I have also witnessed some organisations, where the management had to notify employees on this. Unfortunately, the female employee percent is more in this respect. (Ladies to excuse Please!!)
Although some amount of oral communication is but natural and has to be there, talkativeness in office hours really hampers productivity and quality.
Having said this, it is advisable just to have more attention on the task, avoiding unnecessary chitchating. I do not think there will be seniors in your establishment, who are neglecting to talk to you on your assignments related queries and matters.
