Would you rewind it all the time?

I am in my early twenties. A little over six months ago, I stepped into the corporate wonderland. I also happen to belong to the significant segment of white-collar Indians living away from home. Naturally, I cook and wash after myself. I am also proud to declare that I am not half-bad at it. I did practice it all throughout college. All of it except the cooking part, okay!

This also happens to be my first job.
But wait, what excited this candor, you ask?
A simple Facebook post, a song and the musings of a active, albeit tired solitary mind. You see, the brilliant thing about solitude is that it lulls you into your natural state of being, while slowly increasing the importance of all that you hold dear. In that moment of immense possibilities, you feel infinite and euphoric. Or is it just me?

People are important to me and I tend to end up missing them in moments such as these. Most of them would have gone to bed by now, except for the ones in other time-zones. Maybe, it's time to give them a call? Hmm. Ah, chuck it. I'll enjoy this rare moment of peaceful solitude.

Now, while you sit back and ponder over the subject of this post, I'll disclose the beauty of a song that led me to log onto my outdated blog. Heard of Goldspot,the band?

I recently caught the Jimmy Fallon bug. From SNL to Late Night to The Tonight Show, he's a true entertainer. Watch the Tonight Show Youtube channel if you haven't already. Special recommendation - the Thursday night Hashtag segment. It's a hoot.

And hey! Happy New Year, dear reader.

The Fun Theory

Bored?
Feel like cursing out loud?
Wish to do something constructive and fun?
Cannot recall the last time you laughed until it hurt and you couldn't breathe?

Introducing The Fun Theory ! *
'nuff said.

The deadline has passed and no more entries will be accepted. But there are ideas. Ideas, which can be realized with moderate ease and will definitely make things more interesting around here. Who knows what this might lead to? Better and bigger ideas- definitely. More fun- Obviously!


*The tone of the sentence is just for dramatic effect. I did not come up with this theory. I am just one of those people who spread the idea in the hope that more like-minded people will express support and come together to help realize the dream.

Why do You like the things that you Like?

I have a lot of time on my hands. And its times like these that make insignificant things highly noticeable.

So, what did I notice, you ask.

Facebook's widely popular feature of liking a comment/status/picture or what-have-you.
I know, I know. Its is not a remarkable observation.
But the question is :

What makes people press the 'Like' button?

People will like anything due to one of the following reasons:

1. Because it is witty/new/enjoyable etcetra and they appreciate that.

2. The emotion behind the status/picture/comment resonates within them 

3. To show support/faith

4. To publicize the event/widespread distribution of knowledge

5. To engage in battle of wits

6. They agree with you but have nothing more to add to the conversation thread

7. Because of herd mentality -  Everyone is liking it

8. To gang up against someone they do not hold in high regard

9. Because they do not like the alternative

These are all I could come up with. Do feel free to add to the above list.
