'..The capacity to laugh at oneself is a sign of an individual's strength and wholeness.The inclination to discover grievances where none exists on the other hand,is a sign of emotional or psychological ill health..
..The disposition to be immoderately upset by even innocuous situations or statements should get us all deeply concerned..
..We must tolerate,indeed encourage and celeberate, the spirit of humour even if it is likely to prove vexatious at times; for the alternatives to humour are cruelty and weariness.Living as we do in grim and cheerless times,we should not exile the spirit of humour, just because we feel insecure about the irreverence that is germane to it..'
-The Hindu,22/09/09
Sometimes or rather most of the times,i feel,I'm one of those non-humorous mundane beings who doesn't even know to crack a joke..not that i categorize into those people with some attitude problems who restrains a smile..
Humor is a talent which not everyone is blessed with..But appreciating,everyone can..Cracking a joke,or at least a chuckle to ease the tension,is something that most find difficult..
After all life lasts for not more than 65-70yrs,at the most..and we spend it brooding over trivia,fuming ourselves at frivoulous stuffs,regretting on retrospection..Why so serious..
It's not that the humorless me suddenly found herself guilty and decided to redeem..No,.not that i don't want to,but that's not something i could achieve overnight..for I'm one of those vulnerable ones,finding it comfortable to chastise and crucify the self rather than laughing at the situation..worse is when i don't forget my mistakes howsoever small,and keep reminding myself with guilt to the extent that i find a grip of tormenting jinn over my body which makes my life less happy..it sometimes appears to me as if i find a pleasure in incriminating and incinerating myself,which ultimately has to change if i happen to look forward to the prospects for fullness in life..
May be i should overlook my mistakes as well as others',for,to err is human..
PS:Congress spokesperson,on dynastic succession: You appreciate 4th generation of lawyers,and 5th generation of doctors in a family,then why not a 2nd or 3rd generation in politics????
Reliving the caste system,eh??Potter's son becomes a potter,and sweeper's son,a sweeper..

ps: If you discover the secret of the Nehruvian dominance within the Congress and India, please let me know. I shall give you a blank cheque.
Your seriousness shows your concern for your country and your people.
Politics does seem to have a caste-system, and yes, Yugratna makes all of us feel proud.
what you have described is me, I am the most serious looking devoid of humour in a group, but then there are days when we break loose don't we? so its okay..Yugratna is a gem, so proud!!

I do not know what I am, I can be serious and dour and make the lives of my husband and kids miserable. My cousins/friends/ tell me I am very funny.
I think I am a split personality. May be I should consult an expert.
