Xplore those eyes!!!
At 9490m in the sky, there is nothing much to be seen down except clouds and more clouds. Sitting at the window seat for last 8 hrs and 2 more hours left before we shall be landing at the SFO airport.
At this height , we are away from everything , from phone call, from emails and messengers, we are around 450 individuals sitting at the allocated seats waiting for the destination to arrive. Unknowingly, we have become a family, or at least we have made a small family of our neighbors and individuals sitting in front and back of own row.
We know what they like to eat , what type of books they read, what type of music they listen ,what type of TV serials do they watch and what do they love to talk about and what level of humor do they hold.
And the most interesting part is that it is all being known without a single word of interaction with them. Mostly people do not prefer to talk to others more so if they are not for same geographical backgrounds.
I feel fascinated looking at the people in such situations , they are sitting calm and quite , as serene as a river and as smiling as the smiling Buddha but the moment they land , they will break out of this hypnotic state ,their cell phones will keep buzzing , they will be using their favorite word f*** as often as possible, their voice pitch will try to compete with that of the owls and they will have an anger at an y trivial thing.
Apart from this point , another thing which fascinates me is the thought that behind those calm eyes , how many mysteires are stored , what all worries are waiting ahead the moment they land , what all excitement is in store for them after landing. For some it will be a life changing flight, for some it will be a tour which they were wishing to take for years altogether, for some it will be meeting their children or relatives after maybe years of gap, for some it might be a job assignment , for some it might be a job requirement which might change their lives forever. Maybe one of the people in this flight might some day become a famous model or cook or CEO or the likes.
Thinking about all this makes me so excited that I just try to look into the eyes of theses people trying to un-ravel the secrets, mysteries and adventures which those eyes have experienced "live". I wish I could talk to a lot of people and learn about them , their secrets and adventures but unfortunately the word "privacy/personal-space" prevents me from disturbing many others thought I do get my bits of conversation with the neighbors. I always have had this strong urge to talk to people , know them , know their mind , their way of thinking , their reasoning behind this thinking and the truth with which the spoke about everything. In short, I love to read human psychology , to know him better, and every person provides a different dimension in the human psychology. And sometimes I get fascinated by the observations which I can make about a person which even that person has nit thought of. That is , trying to explore his un-conscience mind and get some clue at his/her way of thinking. Trust me , its not very difficult to relate what a person speaks to the logic behind his particular thought and the advantage is that you get a complete picture of his/her thought process and become a better judge in selecting or rejecting his/her opinions/statements and thereby making your own thoughts stronger and enriched with the right contents.
We talk about a particular hobby or the way we express our thoughts about any topic, we never try to find the reason behind the way we expressed ourselves,we tend to think that whatever we are speaking is the absolute truth and it needs no change. But in majority of cases we sub-coincidently know that we are basing our arguments on lots of assumptions and prejudices and that what we know about them , may be totally incorrect. If we know this , we can save ourselves immensely from our false ego and add value to our life everyday. This is what is called "Introspection", looking inwards trying to find how our actions/thoughts are perceived from a third person PoV(Point of View). This enables us to correct ourselves and improve our life. Now isn’t that’s what is called a real growth !!.
Food for thought !!!!!!
