Writer’s block? Is it?
It’s been a long time since I wrote something. Probably because I was too busy with work and new responsiblities. One other reason is, my wild ideas in the past few months were not worth writing.
I didn’t have the habit of spying before. :-) Rather, curiosity never killed my cat. When I was simply wandering through orkut, browsing through profiles of friends and finding new (old in real, but new in orkut) friends, the funny thought striked. Aren’t I loving what I am doing now? Yes, ofcourse. When we get old school friends and college friends back, when we are in touch with our colleagues even while being away from work, I love it really.
Like any other coin, orkut has this head or tail end, where we open our life like a book.. When husband passes a hi to his wife.. when the best friends continue their discussions in scraps, when sisters or cousins discuss the family matters in scrap books, and the rest of the world, if interested, can read it… Sometimes, I surprise myself by spying to other people’s scrap books…
Thats one side of human nature. Finding happiness in other people’s secrets. Is it the same feeling that drives people who watch soap operas (a.k.a mega serials), dipped in tears of ladies and has long long never ending episodes? What tempts them spend so much time on that? Isn’t it the same saddistic curiosity of peaking to the neighbour’s secrets and finding happiness in his tears?
Sympathy – is something which everyone so commonly show towards a person’s misery. What does he or the receiving person benefit from this? – The answer to be frank is, “Nothing”. Then why do we do it? :-) Again, its yet another side of the coin. Like there are so many other feelings in the world, there is sympathy also. Hence there are tears and hence there are mega serials too..
