Random...

Have you noticed this? Its quite funny…actually…everybody is doing these for ages…but it just clicked today at random…remember the old game of ‘putting a bindi on forehead’...eyes blindfolded’….everybody knows there’s no logic to it…no known formula to solve it…no trick to crack the code…no magic to unveil…its just a pure time pass game…meant for exactly that....to pass the time and to have fun…

but still almost all participants take it very seriously including me…they will do all sorts of things…first they will try to look important….as if going on a mission….then when blindfolded they will walk towards the board…in fact they will be led toward the board …don’t have choice there J…then with an authoritative manner…will try to feel the board with hands as if they know exactly what they r doing….will try to judge the dimensions …and pretend to take measurements…with their hands…will take their time to decide the spot…judge the distance from the top of the board…and then put that bindi on the board…99.99% of the times…way away from the spot intended….

and then when blindfolds are removed…they look at the board with anticipation…and with incredulous look…feign surprise that after all those meticulous calculations and measurements…how can one go wrong?...

no way i am analysing the situation…’m just amused at the mass mentality….and I don’t boast to be any different from it…isn’t it a common sense to put a bindi right away without thinking and be done with it…? 

There’s something to it though…a ever present wish to excel….an even more ubiquitous dread to go wrong in front of crowds…and funnily people don’t mind it when they go wrong in front of the unknown people…but they absolutely hate when the people known 2 u witness this…strange but very common…
