Judge...Admire...

RK of RwB has tagged me to write on the kinds of people I judge and things I admire.

People I judge:
  • Myself (I am too self obsessed to ignore myself!)
  • Who dont maintain eye contact while talking
  • Who talk extremely loud
  • Poor listeners
  • Who give advice even if unasked
  • Who cannot accept a different opinion or view
  • Who are extremely polite or overtly nice
  • Who watch soap operas
  • Couples who sit side by side (and not opposite to each other) at a table in a restaurant
  • Who dont have a passion about anything in life
  • Who tell that they dont have time for anything
  • Who use Internet Explorer (No, not exactly, well, yeah, may be!)

Things I admire:
  • Honesty
  • Movies
  • Music
  • Cartoons
  • Humor
  • Exploring different things
  • Inquisitive mind
  • People who manage time very well
  • People who accept their faults gracefully
  • Left handed people (Sounds too silly, but its very fascinating for me!)
  • People who know what they want from life and achieve it
  • People who are knowledgeable, without having 'holier-than-thou' attitude

I am not as familiar as RK about the Inky Pinky Ponky methodology. So, I would tag anyone who would be interested in taking it up.

Comments

Lol - honest post.
"I am too self obsessed to ignore myself" - gee, coming from a Woody Allen-bhakt, why am I not surprised? :-)

"Couples who sit side by side" - interesting pov :-) - what's the reason?

I was self obsessed even before I knew about Woody Allen. Its just that I like his brand of humor.

I have this theory that couples who sit side by side have nothing to talk to each other - its my yet to be proved scientific theory ;) Its quite complex actually, may write a detailed post on that sometime in future :D
Re. Woody Allen, I was just saying that self-obsessed people probably take to his movies more readily. Of course, I just watch them for Scarlett :D

Couple who sit side by side have a very valid reason.There is more surface area of contact that way!;)

@BPSK
I too love Scarlett :D

@rk
Thanks!

@soumia
First of all, anyone who has a blog is not completely non-techy. Second, you dont even qualify for non-techy dumbness. Third, I myself am not too techy (Techy guys use Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org!) to make technical judgements :D

@TSI
Thanks for the comment!

@krupa
Sitting side by side increases the surface area, but they miss the hand holdings, exchanging gazes and of course footsies! ;)

nyah! you can still play footsies,hold hands..and if you wanna look at the other person..you just need to turn your body a little!

Hey,
I hit upon your blog randomly and I must say it is quite an interesting one. I totally agree with many of your points, especially couples sitting side by side in a hotel :). I never understood why they do that (unless there are some corny intentions, as Krupa mentioned :)).

Cheers,
Sandeep.

Left handed people! Interesting indeed. I once read this book 'The Left-Hander Syndrome' that suggested that being left-handed is a pathological condition. Recommended, since you're so intrigued by them. ( http://www.amazon.com/Left-Hander-Syndrome-Causes-Consequences-Left-Handedness/dp/0679744681 )
Also, couples who sit side by side, I totally agree! Most people I know though dont seem to think there's something strange about that, strangely.

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...
