Hear No Evil...

When a person lives in a society,especially a highly electric one called ISB, eternal curiosity about everyone except himself/herself creates or originates something that we all call as gossip.

Ofcourse the main aim of gossip is that it is meant to be heard by the person about whom everyone else is talking about, and this would be achieved with a high level of well wishing and dropping the word in the right ears.

The thing about gossip is that, the target person, when he hears that people are talking about him, might react in a few typical ways. He(she/it) might rave and rant and make it known to whoever gives even half a ear , that it doesnt bother him a bit ....and then go home and rant /rave some more...

Or he might adopt the famous counter attack stance, and start a rumor about every single person he meets that day...

The third type, my favorite type, is the person who strongly believes that 'If you cant beat 'em, join 'em ' , and whole heartedly goes about reinforcing every single rumor...

Well all these are good options....infact they are in increasing order of effectiveness of taking care of those innocuous whisperings, but then most of the people somehow end up doing the fourth and the worst thing that anyone can do.....that is denying them....

The denial mode in most activities of life, like love, hate and rumors, is the worst reaction to anything, and is a vicious cycle....which we can call the curse of the first denial...

So guys and gals, don't deny.....join in the fun......

Insomnia...

I thought I had seen it all in ISB..the stress, the parties..the people....

But I wasnt prepared for my latest affliction.....caused mostly due to lack of stress...
Its 5.30 in the morning, and I cant sleep a wink!!!! I am trying to, since the last 5 hrs!!!!!

We used to pack so much in one day in the earlier terms, that I would be ready to sleep any time, night or day....even on the 5 feet uncomfortably short sofa.....
Ofcourse there are other reasons.....which are barring me from the noble act of a good night's sleep.....and we will definitely not delve into these....

So right now I'm restless, bored and tired of seeing TV and....for the first time....not in the mood to read Hitchhikers'...

I shall be really glad to get some good suggestions....

I've started yawning now....so I guess blog writing helps.....
for me as well as other insomniatics who read it...

happy snoozing....ta
