WHY

The best example for an avalanche effect can be experienced if we cultivate the habit of using this "WHY" word for everything. If a person is having this habit of using this word more frequently then it is recommended to learn to use sentences which cannot be questioned back. What I have observed is that the word "WHY" is the one which leads to so many doubts and which leads us to dig deep into any matter. Just for an example of how this word leads to so many questions I have tried to write an imagined conversation between 2 friends

person1: where are you going?

Person2: to watch a Hindi movie

Person1: why u watch only Hindi movies?

Person2: because Hindi movies will be good.

Person1: why they will be good?

Person2: because their stories will be good, acting will be good, direction will be good... basically those movies will be usually high budget movies.

Person1: (with lot of questions in mind asks only one) why those movies will be high budget movies?

Person2: because Hindi movie will be watched by so many people and movies will be released in so many centers. Basically they are playing in a huge market.

Person1: (with lot of questions again) why is that they have control over huge markets?

Person2: because Hindi is our national language and hence many people will understand that language so number of viewers will increase and hence the returns they get is also high and hence the market is also huge for them.

Person1: why did they make Hindi as our national language?

Person2: sorry I do not know.

This is just an imaginative conversation but still tells us how dangerous the word "WHY" is. My friends tell that I ask so many questions but the fact is their answers will be so tempting for me to ask back some question which continues until they lose patience or I lose patience. but I must say asking questions to ourselves is very good like why are we like this, why did I choose that option instead of other, why I am doing this...... if we start asking questions to ourselves it serves two purposes; one it makes us understand ourselves better and another is it really helps us to sleep soon if we are insomniac by anyways.

House party with the team

It all started over a cup of coffee. Me and Shree were having coffee and I mentioned about hosting a house party in my place. I just mentioned about my thought and as always Shree got pumped up with all her energy and pushed me to send the invite immediately. I always think and think and think, but always delay in executing. I had this thought from almost an year but never took that initial step of inviting. It was Friday evening when I sent that invite for Wednesday. I had already decided I would be working from home on Thursday and from friday anyways I would be on vacation. So that would be an ideal get together before my vacation.  I could not do any arrangements over weekend as I was totally busy with other things. On monday people started accepting my invite and I started to realize the open tasks. There were mainly 3 things in my list; logistics, food and drinks. Logistics was the main thing. Monday a...

Love/Arranged Marriages

Few days back I was discussing about marriages in India and the discussion was mainly on whether to get married to a person whom we find ourselves or to a person whom our parents find. In both the cases we have to compromise on many things and in both the case after compromise also we are not assured that the partner is right for us. In arranged marriage, we will marry a person whom our parents decide. Our parents chooses a person on various criteria like his/her family, his/her current job, his/her current salary, his/her economic condition, his/her horoscope and all non-sense stuff which really doesn’t matter. These things do matter but according to me the only thing a person should look in his partner are his/her thinking patterns. Parents give much more importance to the family, and in this case i am totally against to their thinking. I have seen so many cases where the sons/daughter thinks quite opposite to what their parents think. For instance there is a friend of mine...

Crazy Movie-Marathon

If someone asks, ‘what is the one thing you have done which you will probably never do?’ I would say this. Yesterday (2/24/2018) I watched 4 movies back to back in theatre. If I think I would be shocked myself. Fuck me what the hell was that, 4 movies I mean seriously??? Yes, I watched it and to add more I watched all 4 movies sitting in 2 nd row from the screen in the same hall, same place. Now Oscar fever is going on everywhere and AMC theatres are playing Oscar nominated movies back to back on 2 consecutive Saturdays. First Saturday 4 movies would be played, and second Saturday 5 remaining movies would be played. We just have to buy a day pass and watch all the movies played on that day. Yesterday they played ‘Phantom Thread’ at 10:30 AM, ‘Lady Bird’ 1:00 PM, ‘Three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri’ at 3:00 PM and ‘The shape of water’ at 6:00 PM. AMC must have spent some time choosing the order of the movies I would say. First movie’s genre was Drama/Romance, second was...
