Stunning people

The other day I was reading a book when a realization came by on my inability to understand people and world around. I began to think and make a mental list (list in mind) of things that I don’t comprehend and it kind of became quite lengthy and endless as I fell asleep. Subsequently an idea to write on these things blossomed and here it is.

#1 The World Record People

By “The World Record People” I’m referring to that clan of people who are extensively involved in making and breaking records. The weirder the record the better it is. These people get featured in well-known bestseller books like “Limca Book of Records” and the mighty “Guinness Book of World Records”. These are the people who single handedly drive revenues for the above mentioned books.

I have nothing against these record holders, but a lot of them are quite weird. I’m sure you must have seen some random guy tearing those thick telephone directories, bending stainless steel stuff, eating electric bulbs/tube lights and what not? So how does all this happen? I think, one fine day these people, unable to do anything constructive, make a list of occupations. “Hmmm… So? I can’t become an engineer. Nor a Doctor, teacher no, dancer absolutely not, business oh no! Holy Shit! I’m good for nothing. Let me start tearing telephone directories, maybe I’ll become something someday by doing this.” So, finally the guy is ready to do something.

Till now it was okay. When these people grow up and look for marriage, what happens? They meet the opposite party. And it goes like… “So, what is your son into?” asks would-be bride’s father. “Ah! Shyam. Nothing great to boast of. He tares telephone directories. After marriage, he shall tear your daughter off, too.” And the girl’s father would say “There you go. All my life, I wanted a son-in-law like you.” Game over.

#2 The Snake People

If tearing, bending and melting was okay, then what about snakes. The guy who lets a snake through his nose and makes it come out of his mouth. For him to do this, he got to have some real nose, ordinary won’t work. Just think for a moment what his son would go through each day at school. Imagine a new academic year starts and the class gets a new class-teacher. She asks for introductions, parents profession included. What will this small child say? “Eh! Ma’am... my father is like snakes… you know… nose mouth… eew.” Gone, everything. All the reputation he laboriously built in his group, all gone in a moment. And at this time all 40 jaws in class are dropped. Eyebrows raised, all ears, eyes wide open. “I don’t believe his father does that.”

The mental torture would begin after school hours. Someone actually goes and informs students from other division/section. “Hey, hi. You know, Shyam’s father… he eats snakes.” Now these kids would actually comedown to Shyam and confirm if his father eats snakes. At such an instance one may even feel a Pulsar-180cc mechanic is a better father to have.

There are other jobs too, but my content ain't ready
