Abandoned Stuff


I probably lost interest or ran out of time, because if i don’t finish things in one go, they remain incomplete drafts like these. Most of these would have come to my mind in the most boring circumstances, and then when i began to pen them down i lost everything i had collected in my head. Whatever.

Impressions:

“It is often said that children have the most candid opinion. Irrespective of the benefits or plausible losses, they give their brutally honest view of things. Origins of this feedback could be credited to the fact that they have not had the same experience as us adults have with the world and our decisions or assertions. Which to say is partially correct because our gray matter works like an ever evolving dictionary which forms the base of our decision making process. While there are countless factors that attribute to filling this dictionary, one that stands out, and is rather strange is impressions. Now there are two faces to how our brain interprets impressions, 1. By the way one looks/talks/write 2. By their actual behavior .

The strange thing about impressions which i earlier wrote is the quality of our brain to judge someone when we haven’t even met them as yet. It creates a virtual image of the qualities which it deems to fit in a persona one is wearing and this image is so strong that it takes good effort for your head to realign with the correct personality of that person. I’m bored now.”

Why we change:

“Our heads work like a gear does, it keeps on rotating to an input, metaphorically of course. Interesting thing to note is the change and how we respond to the change . blah blah blah”

Let me tell you your story:

“I’ve been planning on writing this piece for a long time. I am not a vocal person, i do things in the most tacit form possible. i don’t know how i got this, but i have this ability to refrain from using words. As a consequence i observe, and i do it in detail. Looking at pieces of texts/pictures can gauge the person quite well, what they have been through or how they lead their lives. No, i havent been lately watching Sherlock. It somehow comes to me quite easily then i put my theories to test by doing experimenting on people which 60 – 70 percent of the time come out positive. There are place where i fail miserably but all humans are not same, and i am not psychic. Often i’ve been told not to pry on private lives of people, but somehow i cant help backtracking people o their origins. I do not stalk them and dig their things up, but i frame them up within a few minutes. Lets just say i met you at a bus stop, i’ll not talk much but i’ll observe. Probably everyone does the same, but i think i derive a feeling of winning something after my brain crafts a persona and it fits them perfectly. ”

Hilarious:

“Often have you seen people doing remarkably unique things that leave their mark on your head. Most of them are excessively funny and stupid. There are people who try to get into character of somebody else and fail while you cant help laughing in the back of your head. Some of the excerpts that i remember from past few years:”

    Impressions can be deceiving. Maybe you need a ‘threshold’ count of meetings with a person to craft a judgement about him. Moreover, at times you may not need even this count of meetings, but the ‘type’ of acquaintance you have with someone. E.g. you meet a person at some casual friend’s party in some cafe, you sit there for an hour and have a random talk with some new person and you make up an impression; on the other hand if you meet the same new person for the first time in some other situation, say at the funeral of some close friend’s relative etc., the type of conversation you will have with him there will give you a totally different insight about him.

    Again, maybe! You can totally disagree with my bullshit but this is my take on the things you wrote.

      True, I was going to make this point later on, but I lost interest. You know for a person who looks all stern like I do, impressions create and mostly break lots of stuff, conversations /relations etc.

    It’s interesting how, fragments though these are, they make perfect sense.
    I agree with Saad Umair here, that impressions can be deceiving. Whether because of deception or otherwise, IMO, impressions are flimsy; they can be changed as easily as they are made, depending on circumstances.

    I actually like how this piece reads; an old sputtering motor; many energetic starts which eventually fizzle into nothing. 😛
