Familiar Strangers

"A familiar stranger is an individual who is recognized from regular activities, but with whom one does not interact. First identified by Stanley Milgram in the 1972 paper The Familiar Stranger: An Aspect of Urban Anonymity, it has become an increasingly popular concept in research about social networks.

Somebody who is seen daily on the train or at the gym, but with whom one does not otherwise communicate, is an example of a familiar stranger. Interestingly, if such individuals meet in an unfamiliar setting, for example while travelling, they are more likely to introduce themselves than would perfect strangers, since they have a background of shared experiences."(wikipedia)


well this phenomenon,i bet everybody has experienced it.
ther is another kind of familiar stranger is when you see a person and u find great affinity towards him/her.you feel like i
have known this person for years and are compelled to strike a conversation with them.
this has happend to me several times.There was guy i met while playing football,he resembled my younger brother,i was compelled to talk to him.
then the other day there was a girl i saw in the bus and i was like,i know her,i have known her for years.
and the list continues.....
i am lookin forward to meet more of such ppl [:P].
HUff HUff!!!

News Channels eh??

news channels these days have become from news channels >>>>>>>> entertainment channels.
these channels have to operate 24/7 so they have to show fillers when there is no news around.
another way to survive is by "making news",literally,when there are no natural calamities,disasters these news channels do their own
bit by doing sting operations.some channels show what recent developments are going on in daily soaps while other show
some babaji doing black magic and stuff.its time the news channel to be responsible enough and serve the purpose they were created
in the first place.
not all news channel are like this,but most of them are.

Oh God,gimme a break.
HUff HUff!!!

Procrastination!!!

I am an awful procrastinator.I absolutely cannot work on projects,assignments,tutorials, u name it for college until the last minute. For example, I had something on the order of 16 weeks to do a project for graduation. I started a week ago. I simply cannot make myself work on something that I still have time left to do.
I guess there is always something happening in life..
You dont wanna miss any of it, living life is all about possibilities and change!!
So much can happen if ur willing to put effort into it...
Doing many things at once or not doing something at all is definately apart of our nature as humans!!

You wouldnt see an organised Chimp leaving something until last minute!! Its because we know we can!!
Perks of being who we are i guess!!
I hope this will change with time :)

HUff HUff!!!

Times, They Are Changing

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

though the "Times are a'changin" the song still stands. a song for generations of past, present, and future.

Some people see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?

everything that happens...................

Sometimes i wonder what i have been sent for in this world :P
may be there is some kind of master plan in which all is predefined and no 1 can change it.
all the bad,sad things that happen in life are happening for a reason.
i also think that if it is supposed to happen it will happen and things will automatically fall into right place. you don't have to try too hard.
suppose one might say that what if in the future someone invents a time machine and comes in the past to change the events wont he be altering "the plan",well then it was destiny that has planned for that person to invent a time machine and to alter the timeline.
i can go on and on this topic,more to come l8r :P.i will be happy whatever destiny has in store for me :)
once again, everything happens for a reason.

HUff HUff!!!
