Matters that do matter

The thought..


I was taking a walk on the lovely night lane in my college. Then I thought about how people think. Why they think. I got a few ideas.
When there is no problem nobody thinks. Thinking is what you do if you are faced with a challenge; a problem.

When nobody gives you lab programs : you think and write them on your own. If they are already available then you just copy paste them.

You think when you have to gift you best friend on his birthday. Something that will surprise him. And it is a problem under hand.

You think in the exam when you feel that there is bleak chances of clearing it. You think so hard that you end up praying to get atleast 35.

You think when someone slaps you. You slap back if it is your friend. You dont, if it is your HOD.

Some times its your ego which thinks on behalf of you. When someone says you are a ******, you reply that he too is a ******. He hurted your ego. You want to hurt him back. Ego thinks. Your mouth speaks.

You think when there is nothing to do. You ask yourself what to do.
You think when you sleep. Most people do not know it. Sleeping is a nice way of relaxed thinking.

You think when you blog. So that atleast few people come back to pay a visit on your blogspot.

You think when you shop. You wonder if you have paid the right price. You ponder about the shelf life of the product.

You dont think when you are in class. You are made to "learn" things and work them out. Not solve them. Not think about them. Because ready made solutions to them exist. And your solution has to match them. Not outwit them.

Train your thoughts. But give them freedom.
