Q & A

The very first moment this idea came to mind I thought, ‘Damn! It’s cool.’ Believe me, it’s like a great therapy which unless tried is not well understood. It’s not obviously a quiz or a reality show from the TV soaps which has made the life of many a one remarkably miserable recently where people haplessly spend their valuable time and money not knowing what to do in a hope to make it to way too big in life. But this is much bigger than that and also much simpler which works with magical effects. Actually it does not take more than a moment to realize that it’s indeed a wonderfully fun filled little game that you can play anytime and then die laughing while holding your stomach in your hands. Now before any more bullshit craps you need to know what is this first of all, haan? Well, this is a list of few questions that you got to ask yourself. Now the questions can literally relate to any topic that you can think of - wired, goofy or sloppy. The uglier the sexier, the creepier the better. Depends completely on you, how screwed up your thoughts can be!

Now that’s not all. Once you have found a question to ask yourself please note it down in a piece of paper. Now comes the better part. Human mind works faster, faster than even our thoughts. The moment you found a question your mind will also prompt an answer to it at that very moment and it will be associated to a certain outbreak of expression and emotion that would come out as a result of that question which you would have felt that moment. So what you have to do next is put a single character like %,@,!,?,* as a result of that expression for the question and then note down the answer also that your mind prompted to you that very moment. Now remember, Don’t really start thinking a lot in a way that you know, you want to find the best answer to that question. To make it really interesting just take the first impression that you had about the question. Now ask yourself another question, may be on the same lines or something that will make you feel crazier. Follow this process and try to find a few more questions and answers to those. Once you have done this keep that piece of paper away for sometime. Go, take a walk. Come back and now read out the questions and those answers that you just finished a moment back. How does it work? You will start wondering that could you really ask yourself those questions in a normal situation and more surprisingly if that would have been the same answers you would have given if someone else had asked those questions where you don’t get much time to think about. Now this can be a very funny experience at times. Other times you might not feel very good but remember, hey! That could have been a real awkward situation when faced in front of others. Now at least you have a second thought over it. How does it help? This helps because it brings out the questions those haunt us mostly, questions that we find to address most difficult or question that we really don’t want to deal with in a fear to let others know about it. But your subconscious mind will surface only those questions that really worry you all the time. Normally you will find it tough to voice them but this way you might just end up finding it much easier. And as we said, mind is spontaneous. So it will always tell you what actually you want to do in such a situation. Guess the better part of this; if you can share this with someone very close who knows you well will appreciate this and make you feel better. He might laugh at it, but isn’t it the best part of this whole thing?

To give a small example I will list down few questions that I asked myself one fine day. To have an idea why those questions came to my mind that day you need to know only this much. After fighting with some real life problems at home and at work recently life seemed very monotonous that day, not that it was better earlier. The feeling was always there, ‘Man. This is not working! To hell with this life. I need a change.’ So I said, Well since you need a change what can you do to make it feel more exiting and adventurous. Now after that, the questions or thoughts that came to my mind, I would have never though of ever considering them. But they came because all the time they are there somewhere at the back of my mind and which were to be answered in near future. May be in a different way but at that moment the answers looked like these.

- Q: (Do you want to) Get married - (`? `– initial reaction) A: What? Have you gone nuts? That’s what scares you most and now you want to get married! Moron. Don’t even think about it. Moreover, go first find a girl who knows you truly.

- Q: (How about) Buy a House – (`!` ) A: He he he! You ***, you don’t have enough dough to buy a plot now and you want to have a House. Holy shit! But, but I always wanted to have a big house of mine. Yeah, yeah all that dreams and all, long way to go boy!

- Q: (Can you) Change the job – (*) A: Now you have really proven that you are big time mad! People don’t have a job these days and roaming around the streets to make some money. You want to switch your job! Go die in hell.

- Q: (Finally) Leave everything and leave – (` `) A: That’s the last you could have asked man. Yes, I know, but I always wanted to do something else. This is not where I want to be. What is that something else? You don’t know what you want to do. You don’t even try to do those things that interest you. Where will you go and what will you do leaving all these?

Note: What kind of an opinion you develop of me from these questions and answers that I leave up to you. But that’s what exactly my mind told me when I asked those questions and it could not have felt better at that moment. :-)
