A mid-afternoon discussion..

written on: 25/11/09

Over the last two days I went through some experiences which changed the way (or from where) I think. I realized something really shocking but interesting about myself:

“I think through my “nose””

My nose has been completely clogged and locked since the last two days, and only then did I realize that I couldn’t think straight because of it. I would start saying something, get distracted in between and not be able to revert back to my original chain of thought. I ended up dropping words from sentences. I looked like a zombie and from what I am told, I behaved like one for the most part.

Through the course of it is when I realized that I probably give too much importance to my brain. It dawned on me that my nose is what does all the thinking and strategizing and not my grey cells. So the next time I come up with a smart solution to something I should now give credit for it to my nose and not the junk under my skull.

I fully intend to write a full blown research paper on this and am definitely looking forward for the nobel price for this path-breaking research. I need to start preparing an acceptance speech and train myself to handle the media frenzy that will come along with the recognition.
This email should be proof enough that with my nose on a strike, I cannot even write a good email.

The worst part is, because of the nose and subsequently my brain on a vacation, I lost an opportunity to score some good first impression points with a cute girl I was introduced to yesterday. I could not unleash my boyish charm on her (for all those waiting to make smart ass comments on this, can take those comments and shove it up their…… nose ;)). How could you make a good first impression when you are blowing your brains out through your nose into a handkerchief every few minutes? I didn’t stand a chance. Lol

Btw, my special talents will be on display later today evening trying to do some screwed up version of the following

don’t ask why and what it is about. Just be glad that you are not going to have to watch me doing that. :)
