Socha hai... Kya ye kabhie?

With time, I have realized, that the world is not as simple as I thought it to be. In my attempt to understand it, I kept asking myself a lot of questions...some trivial, some grave, some serious, some funny. Sharing some of them...

Why is the thought spoken less important than the language in which it is spoken?

Why is somebody else's admiration more important than our own satisfaction?

Why in India, an unreasonable bias towards a religion which is in minority is considered secular while speaking for the one followed by a majority brands you as an extremist?

Why does a successful person gets the right to preach others about anything under the sun?

Why do we fight most with the person we love the most?

Why is it that irrespective of how much (or less) we study, we are always short of a few hours for a perfect preparation for any exam?

Why in a restaurant do the dishes ordered on the table next seem more delicious than ours?

Why do we experience the calmest and sweetest sleep when the alarm has just 10 minutes to go?

Why are whats more important than whys and whens more important than hows? (Now, this can be confusing :))

Any answers to these? or more questions? Please do write in...

Another question to your list.

Why do women ask questions when they don't want answers?

:)

Well, its for you to find out :)

Anyway, many a times, the questions women ask can not have a simple one line answer. There are many possibilities in them. So, women don't want direct answers to those questions but instead want others to wonder with them.

Few random questions:

What is "luck"? Why is it for only few?

Does GOD exists?

Hey Anon,
I am too trying to find out answer to the second question you asked - Does God exist?
There was a time when I strongly believed in God and thought that God's will & luck are one and the same thing.

I would like to know the name of the person putting in the comment.

Why do people ask so much questions? Shouldn't they be taking life as it comes without asking any questions ?

On another note - Why is it that questioning things is considered to be bad ?(esp. when it comes to beliefs and social norms)

Pradnya said...

Welcome Nik,
That's the irony- not asking questions is regarded as dumb and questioning is considered rude.
