baawran man dekhne chala ek sapna,

baawran man dekhne chala ek sapna,

baawaren se man ke dekho, baawaren hein baatein,

baawaren se man ke dekho, baawaren hein baatein,

baawaren se dhakden hein, baawaren hein saansein,

baawaren se karywton se neediyan dhoor bhage,

baawaren se nein chahiye, baawaren jharookon se

baawaren nazaron ko takna,

baarwaren man dekhne chala ek sapna

baba bulleh shah

jo rang rangya gooRA rangya

eye contact

As i was travelling back, a guy sitting diagonally opposite me looked at me. As soon as our met, almost instinctively I looked away. Impulsive response. I realised a sec later - the moment was gone. While I looked the other side, my eyes met that of the girl sitting opposite. As I tried to sustain the eye contact, she looked away -similiar to what I had done. The above sequence got repeated twice with better eye contact the next time but no smiles.

A lot of times, I look at people while travelling and they look back and a smile is exchanged. :-)

However, a lot of the time the above happens.

I wonder what role the subconscious mind plays as it filters people :-). I had read blink http://www.gladwell.com/blink/index.html and could relate to it closely. I realise, mostly, I have already absorbed what I had to absorb to formulate a perception in one blink. It's just my transmission mechanism is not good.

But, what I would love to explore is if it is possible to over-ride the blink phenomenon and over ride it well - not only by sheer will power but by God knows what so that result still feels from the heart.

I just hope all this makes sense coz I'm not going to read and edit the above :-))

nothing much

nothing much :-))
you can't do this...set up a new blog and then say - naaaaaaaaa, got nothing much to write.
too many mood swings- too much caffein.

I'll wait.
