Qusetions MICA

What would happen if all human beings wore the same type of clothes> (same colour and design)?Write at least three benefits and three negative effects of it in the appropriate space in answer

Dear Mr. Question Maker,If everyone here on earth wears clothes with the same colour and design, i will tell you what will happen-
First the Negatives (so that you end up happy :))-
1. I will lose my job, my career, my everything-I am a Fashion Technologist (NIFT will close down and lost in the oblivion...eerie!!).
2. It will be a great difficulty deciding "which colour" and "which design" before this uniformity is forced upon-right from the rocket scientist to out motor mouth media people will be engaged in this "decisive decision making", thus, leaving little time for other more useful things. We will lose a lot of money per day till this issue is sorted out.
3. For believers-God will repent giving us brains!!
God help blind dates-How will "they" "find"each other :
Now the positives-
1. Oppurtunity of a lifetime for burglary and mugging industry-we all will have a benefit of doubt-remember the age old question asked in detective series for scouting out the thief-"Kapde kya pehne the?" No answer to that then.;)
2. About a 100 million dollars saved each day...or what ever is the figure for 'Apparel purchased per day"'. may be this can counter the No.2 negative.
3. A whole dimension of aspirations will disappear. That will definitely mean faded our motivation towards material wealth. Is that a positive, well if we are ready to become saints....
In essence the world will become too "Good" to live in!!
For patrons of equality, let us try out easier areas first, begin with banker's salaries!!

Who am I ?

Hi, I updated and revamped my blog, congratulations you can savour a little colour now that...
Up Above the world so mache, my title is inspired by my Nephew's garbled words. This a classic, my 2 year old nephew, Master Vedu used to sing song Twinkle-Twinkle in this way....he had sth peculiar, he'w garble the whole thing to his worthy liking and speak only that way, like Goji, for a doggi....he made an "O", as if making a flower...But alas, his creativity had to be nipped in the bud, feel bad...he must still be creative, but we must tame him! When we don't have reasons, anything said several times and it will be believed. So that's not a difficult task now, moreover it is outsourced to schools nowadays!!
I just wish one thing, I dont like it when anybody loses herself in the whole mad world, I hate it when I get that wretched feeling that I may lose myself in this whole manouevre! That's me-Chintamani-Ettishri Rajput-Yes that is my real name!!

TodayI talked to mamma bout different swamis and yogis like swami Vivekanand, or Yoganand Paramhansa, why can't we be like them? She said they are divine souls!! Aren't we...no I did not ask that, but still, we can be good at whatever we do! Right...I still have to improve a lot in all areas of life. When that is not the easiest thing to do, it is the only one possible! Why is it so difficult to improve our self???
BIG Question?
First why is it so difficult to admit that we need improvement?

Second, why is it so hard to believe that we can be better?

Third, Why do we love ourselves so much, with so many faults, we excuse ourself, which is undoubtedly important, but never learning to forgive somebody else?

Four, In your mistakes why do I not see myself, In your gain why do I see my loss, in your pleasure why do I see my pain?? (In me don't you see yourself?)

Five, why do I blame others, There is good story here! A man, paralysed, lying on his deathbed spoke to his wife thus,"you were there with me when I was fired from my job, when my mortgaged home could not be salvaged, when that happless accident mutilated my right arm, when my business could not seem to work and at the end was foreclosed, you were there all through! Now I realise you only brought me Bad luck!"

Why do I never seem to be able to get hold of myself, the self-elusive self?

And when I do, why is it so difficult to follow through with myself, with somebody else it is always easy?
Why why why the heck!
Because, probably I feel that I am already so good...smetimes I feel If all of us would some how had been made ina way that we would be able to see our own face in all else's...there wouldn't be much of the chaos that dwells here! as Gulzar says "chalo hum sab aayine pehne".

Probably, I do know about my ineffeiciencies and i successfully hide them under the drapes of Maya, saying "Ok am bad...is he/she any better"!
Here Iam okay you're okay helped me- It says "Blaming your faults on your nature doesn't change the natre of your faults"
We want to "reform"our spouse, our kid, some co-worker, but who is eluding us...not the world, neither its realities....we always elude ourselves. This "I", who keeps eluding me, is a fucking coward, it never likes being brought to justice but I am a diehard litigator...atleast for others , then who is this "Me"who does not like what I seemingly like, who wins when i lose, who is the part of the problem that resists correction? WHO AFTER ALL IS THIS ME?
