A Bright Idea

I have an Idea, for those close to me, i know you would be bored! Still...

A world very essential to my survival is the world of Television and this part of the world has an interview of every rich and famous or occasionally, rare poor and forgotten. During one such heart pour event (read scripted heart pour), i had an Eureka moment and i decided to interview myself! (Three close ups accompanied by the sound Dhang!) Before you label me a narcissist, let me explain my reason.

I often analyze people based on their interviews. Judging i would say, would follow occasionally but i believe its rare. I super analyze to an extent that i feel stupid. But after the taxing process of dissecting lives of people unknown of my existence i still give them benefit of doubt! By doing so i believe i am practising compassion and tolerance two virtues Dalai Lama and my father promote highly. I have learned something! Wait... you are labeling me a narcissist again! Don't! i am just a contradictory confused soul who wants to be good.

So i decided on walking the walk of those rich, famous, poor and forgotten and started working on to develop a questionnaire for myself. Let me tell you this was the toughest part! After few checkered pages,I quickly made a list of 'not on list questions' and that included almost all questions with monosyllabic answers. So that left me with the questions which questioned my beliefs, views and opinions.

These are very easy to answer if you are doing it in your head, as you can quickly shun or overlook the repercussions of statements. But when you write them down as answers which the whole world is to sit and read or watch with a cup of tea at leisure, in a secure environment surrounded by their loved ones who encourage them and promote every little thought and actions they have ever dreamed or dared, It is a different story. But then if you don't answer what you want to answer, you aren't strong enough in your views. And if you answer what you want to answer, the chance that you will rub people the wrong way is fifty percent! And that i believe by statistical theory but if i asked Woody Allen's character from Annie Hall he would deny the theory and convince us that the figure will be ninety five percent if not hundred. I love this man.

It was a tedious job, very nerve wracking. Of course it would be! Thinking bothers me! I mean rational thinking bothers me, You see it is an onerous exercise. It needs clarity and often creates curious inversion of perception! And this inversion can cause lots of strain for your future interviews.

No there is no conclusion to this exercise, in case you are waiting. It is just a rant! That means i am still on my over analyzing spree!
