Parapraxis

Now a word like the above title is most likely to be seen in a G-mat vocabulary list or a really fat dictionary. But what it actually means is-

A slip of the tongue (or pen) that reveals the unconscious mind

We all experience Para praxis in our own ways.

Oftentimes it s disguised like a court jester being the one who brings a few laughs-read sarcasm or attempts at being funny.

Rest of the times, it s like a straight-faced Scotland Yard detective giving you the shit as it is. But both times, the source is blissfully unaware.

Assuming it s a slip that doesn’t make you feel good about something…

Now is it the fact that the person is hiding it that makes you feel cheated? Or is it your imagination’s proclivity to see the dark side to it?

Or do you even care?

If you don’t, then by now you are wondering

Huhhhh (scratch of the head)……maybe I should check my mail now
Or check out some videos on youtube or something….

So let s just spare everybody the rigmarole.

THE BOTTOMLINE: To each his/her own.

We find our own answers.

Let’s leave it at that.

The above has been quite a trivial post.

A blogger friend of mine once told me in a tone of extreme erudition that-

"A blog should be about starting a revolution with a keyboard. It should be about pressing issues that should bother a concerned citizen and incite him/her to do something about it. It should be about exploring and finding answers to human existence.

where do we come from?

who are we?

what is our purpose?

why do i find rani mukherjee annoying?

why are there no drive-in cinemas in india(except in two cities)?"

After that extremely sagaciuos advice, i decided that this blog is about everything -but that.

A mixture of obscure randomness(like the title suggests), some suprisingly serious attempts at "pressing issues",

points of view on everything over and above the sun(including the sun).

Criticism(constructive or meaningless and spiteful) are always welcomed.

All cards accepted here.
