"BOO_S : Story of A Blank space"

Have you ever allowed your imagination to run wild?. No?. Well, I have. And to a certain extent I feel that's the only way for me to keep my own insanity intact in this insane world around me. And to tell you the truth I have worked really hard over the years to keep my insanity safe. I have invested hundreds of days thinking futile thoughts taking thousands of weeks forming perceptions based on millions of moments of experience. An when you'll read this line again you'll know that I have succeeded. A person who crashed his plane and died a few weeks ago wrote in his last letter - The defination of insanity is repeating the same action over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. Is it equally true if I say that the defination of insanity is performing different actions and expecting the outcome to always be same!!.

[OK...guess aaj ke liye funda jyada ho gaya. The above paragraph is written only to prove that if needed, the author can dish out serious thoughts and sometimes fool people into thinking that the author also thinks...sometimes(lol)]

I will tell you about the tittle but first I would like you all to go through a little exercise given below. The basis of this "Exericise" is a SMS that was sent to me by a friend. You might have also recieved the same SMS and even if you have and you know the answers, you can still read the below post.

First the exercise. Please fill in the BLANKS given below :

1)BOO_S
2)_ _ NDOM
3)F_ _ K
4)P_N_S
5)PU_S_
6)S_X

SO?

I am sure you came up with all 'THE' words without even realising that you are coming up with them. I know this happens but what I am interested in is this : WHY??

-Why did you thought BOO_S is what you thought they are and NOT BOOKS?

One version of answer given by Y###f, a dear friend was this. When I asked him why he thought of what he thought of and not books, he replied, "Well you will think of what you think of all the time at that time and for me that is definately NOT books". Had it been books he would not have been with me to give this absurd answer. Anyways, I am sure that all of us will come up with a answer like his. This is a very interesting thing to ponder over

I am sure almost all of you thought the Blog tittle is "BOOBS" and none of you, I can bet you that, thought it to be "BOOKS". I agree that people who know me, their thinking like this makes sense. But what about when you had recieved the SMS or when you had earlier read the list. And its really not about knowing beforehand that after you scroll down to find the answers they would look like this :

1)BOOKS
2)RANDOM
3)FORK
4)PANTS
5)PULSE
6)SIX

No, I know given some thought, we all would have filled up the blanks with these words like books, random etc etc but what about instinctively thinking about boo*s, condoms, fu*k etc etc.

Before going on further on this one, I would like to know about your thoughts.

Why do you think we instinctively think about these words first??

Dear Aman,

I am a proud reader of your blog and I would like to tell you that We are Indian, so er have a by default feature to think in strategic order.

I fill these words Alphabatically. for example:

Lets take "BOO_S"
Lets Put "A" : it will become "BOOAS" which is nothing.

Now Lets Put "B" : it will become "BOOBS" and that make sense.

Now if word is completed, story is over. We will go to next word and follow on like this.

I hope you understand.

That was my story, lets wait for others..

Coz we all know when sumthng is coming from you it has to be 'BOO*S'(*B) not 'BOOKS'!!!i guess the reason ur dear frn gave(Y***F)is also correct(specially in case of guyzzz)

I think you yourself have given the answer....thinking/using(these words)over & over and expecting the outcome suddenly different
(f_ _ K = Fork)kahan possible hai dear.
aur jab aise fill in the blanks tu fill karne ke liye dega to hum tera dil kaise tod sakte hain answers to hum wahi denge na jo tu expect karega;)

even if there won't be blank spaces and all the words explicitly written(BOOKS,RANDOM,FORK,PANTS,PULSE,SIX) I would be tempted to replace a 'K' with a 'B' and so on to make something meaningful or i should say co-related or synonymous (I'm not finding a proper word to mention here, author plz help). Any intelligent person(of any gender) will come up with the similar theme here...
PS: i expected more honest comments from females here.

Aman said...

@VIVEK : Well you spoke truthfully my friend. The temptation will be too much to avoid. ANd as far ashonest comments from girls : Well you know as they say...you can take out a Girl out of bhartiye Sanskriti but you CANNOT take out Bhartiye Sanskriti out of a girl :)
