People! There is a announcement to be made. The mind of the people of this world is dead. The basic ability to think is gone. If you think you can think, then think again.
Lets talk about politicians. We love to slam them, and this is the perfect time to do so. The so called union budget is out, and is hailed by economist as good. Now, lets talk about dead people. The opposition. Walkout on a budget speech? I mean are they mad, or have no common sense at all. When a finance minister is doing his constitutional duty of presenting a budget, he is not making his comments, what sense makes them walk out. Who are they trying to please? The common man will only abuse them, not hail them.
Lets move on to the next dead thing, TV. There is not a single Monday to Thursday 9 PM television serial, more commonly known as Daily Soaps, which is not dead depressing. They start crying on Tuesday and cry till the Tuesday 2 weeks after. This is plain 3rd degree torture. The silver lining in these are the YRF television shows, which are decent and witty. I recommend watching Mahi Way and Powder, the latter is just like the Prison Break of India. But, they have less viewers, so SONY TV has shifted them too 8 PM and 11 PM spots. I mean how can you relate with some auntieji wearing 5 kilos of make-up and 20 kilos of jewelery the whole day? Phew...
Last year, the social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook flourished like a dream. It was like morning started with twitter, orkut and facebook in the day, and good night with twitter again. The trend is slowing down now. This is called the stage of dying. Mind you, social networking won't die ever. It is a juggernaut that will keep rolling. Only, the trends will change. Social networking sites are cliche now, the next big thing is awaited. Only innovation can save this sector. Otherwise, they will be like Ekta Kapoor K-serials. Dead and gone.
Next up is the part 2 of MEWHU.

Five Things to do Before I Die
1. Sky Diving - You cannot ask for more thrilling experience. Everyone has a dream to fly. This can be the closest experience. Plus I would like to do it with my favorite music playing in my ears, Rehman probably.
2. Bungee Jumping from 007 Bungy Jumping Center, Ticino, Switzerland - Bungee jumping is the ultimate adrenaline rush you can achieve. I dream of this from the first time I saw this on TV. By the way, the location is one of the highest you can go!
3. Write a Book - That is understandable, isn't it? I love to write. This blog is a living example. Well, I've about 50-55 ideas on the story of the book. The problem is to choose one. ;-)
4. Make a Fantasy Film - Oh ho...I have got about 1000 genuine ideas about this. Big Hollywood set, big stars, humongous special effects, even bigger than Avatar, 3D without glasses. Here, funding will be a huge problem!
5. Be a part of revolutionary movement - This means bigger than save the tiger campaign, no offense guys. I really want save the environment thing to grow, to the heights of independence movement. And I have a big idea for that too!
P.S. - Hey guys do like the new name of the blog?

Me and My Experiments with Human Understanding
Part 1 - Gathering the Truth
All this while when I was away, I was experimenting. I was trying to find out the hidden universe and how it works. This universe is nothing but mind. As we all know, our mind and our thoughts are the most complicated thing in the universe. How thoughts are generated? This question has no scientific answer yet. It has deluded scientist for years. You should have heard of Artificial Intelligence but still, its artificial. This makes this topic very interesting to experiment with. But I am not concerned about the scientific part.
Nobody can draw a conclusion about how a mind works and respond and certainly not at my age. That is why this experiment is a life long one. Although some parts of this experiment can be discussed. So, part 1 of this experiment is to find out the truth in anybody's response. Again, no conclusion can be drawn. Other parts will be shared in other posts.
Truth, is what had actually happened, is what you actually thought, is stranger than fiction because fiction is made-up and truth is a physical reality. Now, how is truth physical when we are talking of mind and thoughts? The answer lies in body language. Lies are not taken in a good way by the body. You can figure it out yourselves.
The elusive question still remains. How to get the truth out of somebody? Trust me, it needs practice. Even your own reputation and behavior makes all the difference. Even if somebody knows that you are trying to get it out when the person is unwilling, he won't tell you anything. Well for the matter of fact, you have to be a good liar to get the truth out of somebody. I am only talking about the worst case scenario. Some people just spit it out, some just need a slight push, some are really tough nuts to crack. You have to find a way in. The best method is to start a conversation depending on the victim's mood. Then go for it directly. Ask the question. If the truth comes out, then you will know it. Trust your instincts. The problem comes when you are told to go away or words like "nothing" or " kuch nahi" comes out.
Before saying anything more, I would just like to say that when somebody really doesn't want to tell you anything, then don't disturb him/her any more. There is other side to this too, sometimes you need to share someone's feelings. It is necessary to make him/her feel good. Extra forcing can lead to serious trouble. Once this is taken care of, proceed.
Now the fun begins. Now you have to play. Truth can be known in three moods anger, frustration or laughter in increasing order of difficulty. Just bring that person to one of the above three thresholds to bring out the gold. Here you have to do it yourself. Much have been told. Just a tip, go through the motion very quickly.
Please guys and gals, try not to try this on your good friends. They will tell you the truth themselves. Try this on the person you envy.
This was my experiment. I was just giving you the procedure. I am not claiming myself to be a guru. These are just my thoughts and I am sharing them with you.
I just tell stories and they just turn out to be true.
