Complex Chemistry

I somehow got addicted to Big Boss Season 2.


It is not very cool to walk into the house after hours of toiling in office, keep coffee in microwave with restless hands, fight guilt pangs of postponing gym and search for the day’s episodes on youtube. Though such obsession seems childish, I have my reasons. This may sound like a cover-up but I think the program talk’s volumes about human psychology, the chemistry of human interactions and the gospel art of living.


Following are of my observations of people, based on this show which incidently match well with my day to day interactions with other Homo Sapiens....

  • Everyone believes he/she is right.
  • Everyone believes that in a confrontational situation irrespective of their role, that they have been wronged.
  • If someone doesn’t like you there is nothing you can do to change their mind.
  • Complexes define personality.
  • It is easy, almost innate to take bad relationships on a downhill path, immensely difficult to redeem it.
  • Crying is a weapon for women that ensure undivided attention.
  • Revenge is best served cold.
  • You have to practice a lot of silence to earn value for your spoken words.
  • Looks matter.
  • Only winners can be graceful.
  • Life is not a game of chess where your winning or losing will matter. Life is a takeaway food joint with a long queue where your moving smoothly without creating a hassle counts.

Job Satisfaction …

Today again a few colleagues sat down to crib about work…talking about the existing, bitter dissatisfaction….my thoughts not very different from this known trend in my circle….

The possible reason….

Life has two constituents … personal and professional…. They are closely related status and success of one affecting other…
But now a day’s most of us…stay away from families to pursue careers …and consequently they expect the professional life to be doubly rewarding to make up for the non existence of the personal life…

Also today’s careers leave little time for recreation … someone may drive pleasure out of cooking, some pursuing sports, some reading others writing…but today most people work round the clock to accelerate their career progress…so any pleasure, excitement and exuberance is expected from jobs

May be this is over simplification of things…but I still believe we want too much from this mundane act of earning livelihood. …

Fried Brains

Watched this movie…Bheja Fry

Awesome movie…some great performances, awesome concept… very, very real characters…

It was a true reflection of psyche:
• We never learn …
• We all want to be wanted.
• We are so scared to make a fool of ourselves, that we stop expressing
• We realize the importance of something when we loose it
• It is difficult to come in terms with loss, but not gain
• We like to make a good impression
• Help comes from unexpected quarters
• We use power, when nothing else works
• And yes, there are no definite heroes and villains
