Observation 0100

Two people who bond really well - best-friends, mentor-protege or a couple - are more likely to share a liking for the same jokes, than the same poems or movies or books or music or political parties.
Corollary: They're more likely to like the same sitcoms than the same poems or movies or books or music or political parties.

Observation 1000

Sophistication (when not of machines or mathematics) is hypocrisy.

Observation 0105

'Bored' is fast becoming the slang for 'lonely'.

Observation 0005

At the very extremity of sadness, the plea to cheer up offends.

Observation 0597

Few things please men more than their joke getting loudly laughed at, particularly so if it was an original. But even when it is not, the observation holds.

Observation 0690

Dating does a whole lot of good to one's self-confidence, and undoes it too.

Observation 0975

This store of cotton garments at Lajpat Nagar is so good and so reasonably priced that it leaves buying Fabinida the only reason for buying Fabindia.

Observation 0008

Even when people know inside that their qualms are dishonest they get very hurt at their qualms not being taken seriously, because they know that only they know that their qualms are a lie; others who don't, ought to still take them seriously, they strongly feel.

Observation 0360

The act of missing people (miss-able ones, of course) starts a little before they are actually gone.

Observation 0144

Truth is an addiction, fortunately the rarest of all, unfortunately the deadliest.

Observation 0500

The contribution of metaphysics to the world: vast numbers of trees felled just because some shallow people wanted to write vast amounts of sham for some hollow people in order to fail to help them understand some really critical issues that do not exist.

Observation 0025

If you love yourself too much, others will not; if you hate yourself too much, others too will.

Observation 0099

Few things in life are as pernicious as a second-rate dictionary got for a child.

Few things in life are as pernicious as a second-rate dictionary got for a child.

Observation 0022

Those who are fervently into the business of speaking only the truth (very few, yes) are seldom into the business of trying to make people believe them.

Observation 0746

You frequent bad jokes or poor puns or pseudo-witticisms not so often from people with an undeveloped sense of humour, who in time normally realise their inadequecy and suitably abstain from much joking around, as from those whose well-developed sense of humour makes them think they should pun all the time.

Psychological Laggards

Dear page, your emptiness and mine
correspond, so I guess we're fine
when we bond. Bond we can't very
easily with others, can we? Merry

making of kids as a cracker burns,
we see, smile at with observant glee,
but we mostly can't partake in turns,
you and me, in that fun, can we?

This world's too fast for us for whom
a quick flutter of a cuckoo's wings
can mean a day's musings, or a room
opened after ages with a broom, brings

pictures of wilderness to mind to stay
for longer than with each other lovers do.
For now distractions galore, people stray,
and it's not even that their love isn't true.

Let's face it that we're from some other age,
that it's natural for us to be alone, or let's lie
to each other that our rage, dear page,
is a matter of mood, is a whim cap-a-pie.
