Worming Through Ur Mind

Worming through the mind:
Did you experience something like this,

yes we had an uncle and he was very fond of
[Arvi] chepangkizhangu sabji a lot dry one boiled and roasted with good coating of masala and aromatic,
Now my mom used to say he would wait for all the children to be served they were atleast 7 in number together, so grandma as she served and would go in to get the next item, mani mama would say cheh look at that arvi does it not look like a goat’s shit all lumpy lumpy brown brown and the children used to go yuck ya and he would slowly say imagine all that going in and you would feel like vomiting, and the poor kids all three young sis of his will wonder what to do with it, He would extend his plate and lo he has all the sabji with him..
Grandma can do nothing as they have been psyched about it and would refuse even if she were to fight for it and get it back to them.There are other episodes which I would like to mention is about the dhall so wonderful and yummy no but my other uncle used to think as baby shit and none would eat.

Sometime this happens even while you are sitting for lunch and the ad in the tv will show
How tolerant is the whisper pad for all of us to view, and the toilet cleaning agent how good it is now these are great advertisers only during your lunch or dinner while u watch a movie and leave it on for ads while u finish ur lunch then u realize the mistake done.
One really would like to get away from food..

Like wise I remember kamalji writing about the sugarcane juice and how the Bombay guys got the ice which had been used for the dead and as it was available cheap they used to mix it with sugarcane juice, now this always will remain in my mind I know, so cannot order juice and I keep asking don’t mix any ice just get it without it, and so on, or I will add the ice at home..

To go to a higher level I remember one narayanan in our house he always had the habit of concocting some issues like he would tell his mother If she is not careful she may be on the street and her property would be taken away by her daughter and so on, this left her to live alone and she would not mix with her daughter only to realize that she is the one who took care her mother when she got paralysis, she cried her way to death understanding too late in life about it.

Many a time I have found people go into hallucination thinking that a person is like this never know from where the source was but they behave and hate them for life and speaking things around which I name as worming into people’s brain so that all hate the person he hates the most had got nicknamed tail twister….

Have u had any experience to share here which has wormed through ur head and would never leave u for life…sunkan

hi sunkan

cud relate to your post...hey.....so mean of your mama to comment on cheppanga roast in that way....it is our familys all time favourite..now i hope it doesnt come to my mind when i make it next...but yes u are right it will definitely worm its way into my mind...many times it happens but they are such small things and then i wouldnt pass it on to others so ok i suppose...

Sunkan,
This article of yours definitely made me remember the story which goes on like this:

The cure for his illness is he should not think of a monkey when he is applying the medicine, then it wouldn't work--- but think of the person, he will be thinking of the monkey and to his mind the medicine wouldn't work...

our mind is being easily hypnotised by such thoughts....
it is true regarding the ad you had mentioned while we are eating, it even comes when we are having late-night dinner too!!!

if u notice i have shouted at kamalji for posting something like this and he says he will packets of ice for me when he comes to bangalore now what do i say for this..sunkan

Dear Sunkan ma'm,


I remember once my friend telling me when I was a child,when I was eating water melon,that 'it looks like blood and red meat', somehow I never touched water melon after that. It took some time to overcome that silly idea.......just because my friend said that..... I think I believed it.

regards,

yes meera,
some people do not realise that some of them are very sensitive and this can stick into their mind, i dont think any of my aunt would be relishing the chepangkizhangu even now at the age of 60+ so life does leave some psyched for good..sunkan

Dear S,

Very wellsaid.. I would have just made awesome yummy dinner and afetr all that baseball on TV, would sit with SunTV on.. Most of the time, it would be that stupid HARPIC ad or the Whisper..

I mean, I am not that shy or anything. its fine.. but the explicit explanation is not required... all that yucky before and after images.. or that blue ink.. that makes me puck... I would have just lived with it.. if there is no such explicit images...

But thats good thing in a sense.. We no longer watch TV while we eat ;) we just chat and have fun... ;) its even better yeah?

I just wish all the people at least have a sense of situations before they blurt out. Unfortunately most of them dont and some make sure they do it just to see others uncomfortable..

One example is .. when I was initially starting out as a developer.. I was in a team of 6 people.. all guys... americans mostly and 2 desis. We used to involve in lot of requirement meetings initially and usually after 1 hr.. before or after while waiting for others.. we used to just chat.. this particular guy[ofcourse desi] always makes conversation in the meeting like this:

hey guys this week is so boring.. you know my wife is leaking... yessssssss LEAKING.. thats the word he uses.. we were all married except for the other desi... But you shud just see the faces on everyone.. it will be like everyone want to stab themselves... and at times he used to say sheepishly that he scored and didnt sleep at all that night.. I mean why would anyone want to use their private life so that they can show to the group that they too can make conversation.

During that year.. I made a point, I always attended the meeting 10 mins late ;)

AAAHHHHHHHHHh.. thinking now.. I want to kill that guy...

Hi Sunkan Mam

Nice post! And here is the story of mine!

My anatomy professor, once during his lectures was telling about this lady who had severe headache for years and later died (no significant findings when she lived). Then they did the postmorteum and when they opened the skull...They could see thousands of bedbugs lining her upper surface of the brain and the interior of the skull and that was the reason of her headache and death. (It gives me goosebumps even now). But he also said that it was an isolated case because our body has a blood-brain barrier mechanism that doesn't allow any living bugs to enter into the brain.
But now and then, when I get my migraine,inadvertently, I think of this case. I only hope and pray that my monster headache is only migraine!
