Meet Mr.X:Reformed or Multiple Personality Disorder

This is Mr.X and his car.A picture that I drew yesterday.Now the big cross over his face is not by me it is by the friend of mine who wanted Mr.X to have a heart attack. Anyway, today,is the third day of class. And.... Mr.X was an angel.No kidding! We saw a reformed man. A man with full of philosophy. And when Mr.X is talking 'professional', he really talks professional. No one person has got my full attention in the many years but Mr.X did( okay a little too exaggerated, maybe some people manage to get my attention). What I am really trying to say is that I have got a short attention span, and today I was so engaged with the way Mr.X spoke. I am serious , no sarcasm here, he is good when he wants to be otherwise he is plain psycho. And I liked him today. Was he really a reformed man or is he having a multiple personality disorder?

P/S= As much as he was a nice man and my friend and I would like to revive him from the 'impending' stroke and heart attack , there are still a majority of them who do not like/trust Mr.X.

Meet Mr.X

Meet Mr. X. He is a psychiatrist. Now, this is a brief summary on Mr.X that took place in less than 24 hours. First, he makes us go on a 2 hour journey ( to & fro) for classes. We were told to be there at 8.30 and so we did. Waiting....still waiting, there Mr.X walks in at 9.2o, pheww, finally! Mr.X thinks this place has got snow, hence explains the blazer that he wears 24-7. One glance, and you might be fooled into thinking he is the new pub singer in town.No, absolutely not! Mr.X is a psychiatrist. Second day of class, thus Mr.X feels it is his utmost responsibility to make our lives miserable. Some of his words uttered at 9.45 am are as follows:

• You all are a lazy bunch of people
• I can't tolerate this D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G (please stress to give it the extra effect) attitude! ( If I am not mistaken this was the same line uttered by Kareena's fiance in the movie 3 idiots,hmm,talking about originality)
• I will neglect all of you!
• You can bring a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink.
  

Next goes the poor boy to start his presentation.Now, Mr.X, the psychiatrist, is buzy with his phone for the next 20 minutes. The poor boy hasn't got the perfect command of language, it is broken, so what happens next? Mr.X, the psychiatrist thinks it is time he came back in action, so poor boy gets scolding and was sent back to his chair. Next,comes the second poor boy, well he ended up with the same fate. So at 10.00am, Mr.X says:

• This is ridiculously stupid! ( Yes , Mr.X is a psychiatrist, you are right!)

Oh, did I mention in between those ridiculously stupid presentation, Mr.X, the PSYCHIATRIST had his left leg rested on the top of the chair in front of him (talking about disgusting characters), and voila removes his foot few seconds later. Now, Mr.X is angry, so he wants the topic presentations to start. So, goes the third know-how-to-survive-boy, he talks, and talks, at 10.10 am, the electricity decides to play its role by taking a few minutes off, so we were in darkness.Hmm, now funny enough, this did not make Mr.X angry, instead he was hungry, so he decides to go for breakfast. At 10.12 am ,right before his breakfast journey starts, he says "Please do not waste my time if you all are not interested". Pity third know-how-to-survive-boy, electricity caused him dishonor from Mr.X. Now, being a psychiatrist , Mr.X decides to be considerate and to come back after 50 minutes to take the class, that included the time taken to eat and partially digest the food. Class starts at 11.02 am till 11.53 am. Being a busy man, Mr.X went on meddling with his phone throughout the class.

The story does not just end there. Of course not. The fourth victim decides to try her luck, so she goes forward to say "sorry". What do you think Mr.X the psychiatrist would have said? "Three words I dislike in English, and one of it is sorry" ( no prize for guessing which Tamil movie actor said this=) (Yes , I am also curious what are the other two words). This is the story of Mr.X, the psychiatrist.And you know what is the best part of it, Mr.X is a PSYCHIATRIST!

It took 93 minutes to know:

• Mr.X is a male chauvinist pig
• Many wanted him to have a heart attack
• Some preferred hemorrhagic stroke as it carries a worse prognosis
• He is a dominating ,boatsful, loves-himself male
• He sold his Mercedes Benz as it was a temporary habitat for cockroaches and bought a new one

Difficult facts to digest:

HE IS A PSYCHIATRIST!

Breasts:Not All That Pretty

Breasts have always been a sexual attraction to all men and a self confidence tool to females , thus it is never rare to find women wanting to perform breast enhancing surgeries to please both the genders. Now , the issue comes when a male has breasts. Not that I am saying they don't, they do , but what if it were to be as the size of a female breast, that too on a 14 year old boy. This is a syndrome. It is called the Klinefelter syndrome, when the male has an extra X sex chromosome. I spoke to a 44 year old male today, he was fine till suddenly he said that he had to stop schooling due to gynocomastia ( this is the term for a male with increased breast tissue) . I was shocked. I know somewhere in my notes not too long ago, I read about people with this syndrome being depressed due to psychosocial implications. It was just a line back than but today I saw the real meaning behind those words. This man who had this problem since childhood was afraid to go to school. He had a surgery done at the age of 18 for the removal of excess breaststissue. But it had robbed him of his childhood and adolescence. He was psychologically affected. I was left speechless when he asked "Why this happened to him?". He probably when through a lot more, this was just superficial. What all can a small defect in the genes do to a person?

An Angel She Is...

You take one look at her and you go like "God,she is so beautiful". Her baby soft white skin, shiny brown hair and a perfect pair of eyes to go with it will never miss your attention. She never fails to smile. Her happy demeanor will keep you wondering what a perfect piece of God's creation she is. But, beneath all that, one may never know that she is diagnosed with a syndrome: the Angelman's Syndrome. Just like you I was puzzled, she has a problem? She looks picture perfect. But spend another 10 minutes and you will know, she is hyper in her actions. She can never sit in a place and has a short attention span and constantly there was drooling of saliva and prefers to hold the pen with her legs. She approaches you with big bright smile that will warm your heart and within seconds will make her way to pull out everything in your pocket. This syndrome was definitely new to me.Whatever it is, she will always remain as my cute little wingless angel...

Experience, My Teacher

Yesterday, was one of the "pages" in my book of life. You know how some of us used to have cat fights with our peers when we were teens (luckily we are not blessed with claws otherwise I cant imagine what would have happened), over tiny stuffs, well surprisingly I accidentally got myself into one (Notice I used the word accident, cause I loathe getting involved with immature creatures). Anyway the point is, after much analyzing, I have come to know how much I have learned with just one incident. I learned to stand up for what is right, surprisingly I also learned that people have predicted me so well that so much so when I stood up for myself, they felt I should not be like that( what logic is that?). I have learned not to discuss in anger, instead more calmly with a soft tone, believe it or not, it was like a magic, it worked wonders. And I also learned it is okay to put ourselves down and make the other person feel better if it is going to be beneficial to us( hey, people did not simply say fake it to make it).Plus, I have learned the other person's character very well. Lastly, I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect-Edward Gibbon (Very well said, how true) Till yesterday, I asked why it happened to me, but today I am grateful it was me, otherwise I would have never learned. Many more pages to go...

Say It Out Loud

Aloha! Morning morning morning. Well, afternoon actually=) But what shall I say the earth is definitely turning differently in my world( at least for me). My mornings are now my afternoons, my late nights are actually my mornings. I am awake when the world is sleeping and sleeping when the world is awake. Being a total bum!=) Pretty much enjoying it at the moment. Anyways, well today there are plans, so not too bad I guess. So, yesterday was a busy day running behind the kids and all, and watched A.R. Rahman's live show from Sydney. An awesomely awesome show.Totally mind blowing. Sometimes if you need to distress, what better way than listening to music. Plus, now I know my bro-in-law went with his than girlfriend to watch Rahman's concert the last time he was here ( No,not my sis)=) By the way what I like about A.R.Rahman is his humble and down to earth nature. Never had the slightest "tinge" of ego in him. Moving on, I had a heart to heart talk with my big sis. You know, the serious emotion filled conversation that comes up once in a blue moon. It was worth it. So, to keep things short, in life we can solve many things just by sitting and talking, even the most stubborn headed person will eventually calm down. Never shout, listen and give the other person a chance to talk.Trust me, it works. Never make an assumption on what the other person is thinking, cause most of the time in life we waste time worrying what others will say and never move forward.So,take it from me, don't make judgments, let whoever it is to speak, than make the decision. Told you didn't I, life is simple and it is us who make things complicated. Plus, don't assume that everyone can read your mind, whatever it is please say it out loud. We are no computer to read people's mind by the way.

Just to share:
I had a choice between love and hate. I choose love and I am here...
~A.R.Rahman~

Just One Of Those Things To Ponder On

I can't stand insensitive people! Yet, they are whom I meet again and again. And when do you come across them? When your mood is already down and they come along to make it worse! I could have snap back at them, but no I could not do that ( so me) , I would probably end up feeling bad and have tears rolling down my cheeks. Annoying I know! It is not that I am afraid but it is the fact that I am not going to change anything by shouting back. These are the sort of people that feels the pleasure from hurting someone! So, no point arguing, you will probably end up looking far worst than them. The positive way of thinking - just be happy that by being the victims of these insensitive people , you actually make them feel happy=) You feel like murdering me? =) I know, haha. Anyway I meet a wonderful character last week. My lecturer actually , she was telling me about her life ( as usual , I somehow get myself connected to many people, but the Question is where do I go for my own comfort???) and how she had to endure many things to be where she is now. Someone very strong and positive I would say, second to my mum! She was harsh on me not to give up in life! Yes , harsh! She was one of those people who don't motivate you in a soft manner more like the threatening way. Whatever it is , I still feel blessed to have spoken to her. You will be amazed when you speak to people, only to realize what are all the things they had to go through in life to be where they are! Till then, lets keep the happiness chain rolling! Make someone happy today though yours is quite crappy! Love You!

Me At This Very Moment

Life changes in a blink of an eye
I can't explain this change
None would understand
There are always monsters out there waiting to jump at you
Dealing with " unhumanly" humans
Leaving you with frustration and anger
Unable to express
Can't speak out in order to survive
Hoping at times for misfortune to fall upon them
What's wrong you may ask?
It is these "unhumanly" human that have changed me
All the waiting, sobbing has got to me
Now, I have ran out of tears
Emotions don't seem to have a meaning to me anymore
I am trying to survive
In this happy world with cruel people!

The Face On The Other Side Of The Mirror

Holla! Barack Obama won, yup I know my shoutings of joy came in much later, but, hey don't blame me, I have been going through 4 weeks without an internet connection. Anyway, that was for my dad! If dad was physically present, I am sure he would have supported our African-American president. So, hooray for the both of us, rite acha! Well, getting back to me ,I am doing my 5 th week of posting with an entirely different group starting from today. The first four weeks was more like a warming up period.Honestly, I congratulate myself for surviving this long , coming to think of all the fear of meeting and being in an entirely different group prior to this. Will present myself an ice cream this weekend=) However, I still suck at remembering names! Trying my best, trust me.As you know, this world is made of all kinds of people-thin,fat,tall,short,baby ,adult,child, the smart ones,( I don't believe in the presence of stupid and dumb people, God gave us all the same brain, and it all strongly depends on the effort- with the effort, comes the knowledge) so I would prefer to say the lazy and the extremely hardworking ones, and then comes the most complex of all- attitude ( notice, I have not written an opposite word to it, cause attitude as such is a very wide subject to touch upon, as it comprises of all sorts of character) .And this is the one essence of human nature that I find pretty amusing. For an example, being smart can be grouped into few catogeries:

- smart weirdos - ones that are smart but with very unaccepting funny behaviours

- smart nice- ones that are smart and down to earth

- smart smart- ones that are smart and super smart in living their lives, something

like smart in finding money by making use of others, only wants the best for themselves, some sort like selfish

- smart smart nice- ones that are the smart and super smart in living their lives, but

they don't misuse others for their hidden intentions

- extra smart- these are the smart but they puzzle you at times when they don't know what

to do when they are put in situations that can be easily solved by an uneducated person ( Again, I don't believe they are uneducated person, cause in our lives, each day offers us something to

learn- education is not acquired via books and schools only!However, I am using the word to prove my point.)

So, you see, each day, we face these people, that are just different than us. It is learning how to deal with these people, that is the real challenge! Like a cob web, too complex!

Hence people say stay true to yourself, be yourself only, and then there is no question of accommodating to other people's attitude! But honestly, in today's world, is it really possible? From the words of Mr.Donovan himself " fake it till you make it". If you don't accommodate then you will be left behind, it is a competitive world after all! Frustrating I know, but do you have a choice.Well , you need to survive as well. But then again, when you treat everyone the way they are, does it not sound like you are having multiple personality disorder?=) Confused?...

Anyway, it is up to you to take charge of your life! You do the decision! Adios, may you be wrapped up with God's love!

p/s= I think I used too much of the word 'smart", that now it seems meaningless to me. *sigh*

Respect

I had a long day. While I was in the dental clinic today, accompanying mum, I saw a sight that made me tear. An old man, about late seventies, clad in a white shirt and black pants with an old looking cloth wrapped around his head, with prominent facial bones and a few long lines running from one end to the other end of his forehead walked into the clinic. He hands in his appointment card in the counter and took a sit on a red cushioned chair. After a while the nurse called him and he only responded and walked over to the counter on the third call. It took him some time to answer their questions, and later was told that he had missed his eight o'clock appointment,(it was 10.45 am at that time) and was told to come back in two weeks time. I felt so angry and sorry for the helpless man. He lived far and had to travel a long distance to get to the hospital, all alone with no one to accompany. I don't understand why can't they reschedule his appointment for the same day at a different time, would it hurt them, common, isn't there any respect for the older citizen? Taking into account his age, and his pitiful condition, why don't this people use their own discretion to help him out? God knows what has he left behind to make it to the hospital today- probably his work which could have earned him some money for the day, why make them travel up and down at that age??? I get very depressed when I see old people being treated as such! Anyway for the man, he nodded in agreement and walked away slowly in disappointment. I wonder if he would come again in two weeks time...
