I like it on the couch...

If you were following Facebook for past 1 week.. you would have got the meaning of the title..
So where do you like it?
It was so strange to see women posting their FB Status as "I like it on the sofa".. "I like it on the couch".. "I like it on the bean bag"...and and and... " i like it on the dressing table?"..
This kept me wondering the meaning of "it" in these statuses.. Actually women would still give u decent guesses for the meaning of "it".. but MEN just thought it.. probably imagined it.. and.. you would see many men replying "Men like it anywhere".. HA HA HA..
But noooo... the meaning of IT is not what you just thought...
So many of my friends. collegues and classmates had a variety of answers to "where would they like it?" It was kind of strange to see such bold and blunt attitude of people.. But finally the mystery evolved and i got the meaning of "it".. I felt so stupid..how come i realise it so late...
Actually "where would you like it?" was a facebook campaign to spread the awareness for Breast Cancer.. this meant women to answer - "where would they like to keep their handbag/purse"...You just have to keep it as your status message and spread word among your women friends to do the same..
Because of the cryptic nature and mystery of such messages.. many had their heads scratching as to what is this going on...
Nice and fun way to spread awareness.. waao....

Give a second chance to good and bad.. equally!!!

Our 5 senses.. sense of smell, touch, see, hear and taste..enable humans to recognise things and form perceptions of everything that we come across.. But what happens when there is a conflict between the two senses. Then how do you resolve these conflicts.. how do you draw conclusions and which sense do you believe..
It happens many a times that a sweet voice on the phone which pleases your ear might turn out to be of a monstor.. or a dish which looks delicious to the eye might be pathetic in taste..Next time if you see the same dish on your dining table you might not feel like eating it irrespective that it is made by a different cook..because we have formed pre-conceived notions about things.. people.. food everything..
All these notions are based on our experience and hence we trust our feelings more than we trust the cook who made that dish...May be the second time also the dish turns out to be pathetic.. but the question is will you give that delicious looking thing.. a third chance to please your taste buds.. or will you just say "yakkk" and leave it on the table.. very likely that we will react in the "Yakk" way...
But I think it deserves another chance.. you never know u might end up liking it.. or your gesture might bring a smile on the cook's face for the effort that he made for you..and if not that.. it will atleast reaffirm your bad experience with that dish..
For the sake of goodness left in this world....give chances to everything.. good and bad.. to challenge your perception.. you never know what might turn up.... but TRUST only your instinct.. only your pre-conceived notions.. unless there is a very compelling reason to change them..
