there are certain things that i would never do a few years ago..
and now nothing can stop me from doing those..
what causes these changes in the head..
i mean isn't it the same me now and then..
what changed?
not in a mood to exemplify now.. will do so soon..

laugh at the truth?
ok.. i noticed one thing..
people tend to laugh at the simple things in life..
simple observations.. made by anyone and expressed
completely truthfully in a simple manner will undoubtedly make you laugh..
one may say that i have drwan the conclusion from many sources but the one that really got me thinking, and i have already unwittingly given a hint in the sentence, was bicentennial man which i happened to re-see yesterday..
in one/many of the inconsequential dialogue exchanges between andrew and portia, portia always mentions that no one had/has been able to make her laugh as much as andrew did..
what i noticed was that she was finding the simplest of observations funny.. if not outrightly so, at least subtly.. like when he says ''i never quite understood the meaning of pearls before swine"..
now this is funny for her as well as the audience..
but we use that expression pretty often though not everyday.. and we never give it a second look.. but here when it is highlighted.. at least to me it was very funny..
another incident occurred today or maybe it was yesterday.. i cannot recall exactly at this time..
but it was this incident that instigated me to write this entry..
it was with sadhu, and one of my observations was funny for him..
its not the first time that a mundane observation has been found amusing
it happened many times before with a wide spectrum of peoples..
i guess.. its about the way i was brought up.. my parents though encouraged, never forced their concepts of any thing upon me.. they fortuitously were not aware what a great influence that has had on my life.. and i thank them for it..
so the things that many people take for granted are still a novelty for me..
and i do not mean that i was deprived of life experiences.. i will not be too far off the truth if i said that i have had a very full life, almost full enough for more than one my age..
but it is the small things that do no matter in day-to-day functioning that i missed out on..
now i cannot put my finger on any particular incident.. but there have been many..
and well if it brings a smile on peoples faces.. who am i to complain?
and this entry was in no means of imagination a complain of any sort.
