Pimple Theory

(Late evening discussion at my home on sunday)
"You have got a pimple, anna", exclaimed a friend of mine.
"So?"
"Somebody has a crush on you!"
"Really? This is the first time I am hearing this theory"
"Yeah, you did not know about it?"
"No, I am getting pimples from more than 10 years. I never realized who all those people were", I started laughing.

What started out as casual talk soon turned out into serious discussion. I was proposing theories, building stories around it.

Okay, lets assume that the pimple-crush connection is right. But, whats the use? We will never know who the person is. Its like getting missed calls in old phones which don't have caller ids!

May be there should have been ids associated with pimples. Then, it would have helped the crushee recognize the crusher (is that the right word? ;)) Nobody there calls this pathetic joke of mine as a pathetic one. They are such nice people!

Okay, this theory sounds very profound. Lets assume that some person has a very clean (?!) face, I mean without pimples. So, such people will be liked and they will be the crushees. So, as soon as the crushers start increasing, more and more pimples will come up. As the pimples grow in number, crushes starts reducing, thereby reducing the pimples(very similar to the demand-supply-price funda) After sometime, the pimple density reaches a constant which is called 'p'.

Lets assume that somebody having a crush on me is the cause of the pimple on my face. Now, I will apply some very good ointment and the pimple will be gone in a few hours. And some girl in some part of this planet will be left wondering, "Come on, what was I thinking a few minutes back? Oh, I completely forgot" :))

"Aunty, how do you tolerate your son?", my friend (who by then, was totally shocked by my theories) was asking my mom.
I decided to give everyone a break and got up to get a second round of evening snacks.

What Exactly Bothered You?

I am amazed by the display of naivete by people, their naivete so deeply conditioned that it ceases to be artificial. These people are very well aware of the reality, but when you show them some proof to confirm that, they are aghast and shocked. What the hell am I ranting about? I am talking about "The curious case of N D Tiwari"! To be honest, when I heard about it, I laughed out loud. Not because there was something funny in his achievements, but the way people reacted to it. So I am trying to understand what exactly bothered them? A Governor was doing 'it' ? ('It' upsets more people than lets say, if he was taking a bribe of crores of rupees from those 3 women) A Governor was doing 'it'? (Come on seriously, are we not taught in schools that politicians work for people and poverty is dropping like Walmart prices?) A Governor was caught doing it? (What is revealed is always only the tip of the iceberg. Just imagine the uncaught! Is it the "env...

Ringtones

Why is it that most people don't keep their mobiles in silent mode, in general and particularly in meetings, movie halls, theaters and concerts? Why is it that people who hate silent mode, don't ever use "Increasing ring" feature? Why do such people use very loud ring tones? Why is it that most people use a very common ring tone and it takes them eternity to pick calls? (Yes, they don't even realize that its their mobile that is ringing!) Why is it that people with the most irritating ring tones are the ones who get calls very regularly? Why is it that most of the ring tones are monotonic? (Don't you think polyphonic ring tones are so less irritating on the ears?) Why is it that people so frequently use the default Nokia monotonic ring tone or a badly played version of Malgudi Days? Why have I never heard a nice polyphonic ring tone of Hotel California or Pulp Fiction theme or something? Why?

Limitations Of Human Imagination

I watched the movie "The Abyss" yesterday. Unadulterated hollywood alien-sci-fi garbage. Pseudo-emotions mixed with american-arrogance, so much crap that it would have given Karan Johar some serious inferiority complex. But, this made me think why so many alien stories are so similar. Lets come to the assumptions in the alien movies: 1) Aliens always love to make contact with the humans (If I were an alien, I would try to make contact with crocodiles - much more interesting, right?) 2) Aliens are generally much more intelligent than humans (Its hard to beat the dumbness of humans - probably aliens don't watch Big Boss! Also, since 'they' contact us by reaching 'our' planet, they must be better than us!) 3) Aliens by default understand or learn English (by intercepting the cerebral signals and interpreting with the aural waves and decoding to hexadecimal system - you will be given some such nonsense by the story writers) If you tell the aliens "howdy...
