Bachelor - A limerick

Girl friend, who filled my life with color
wished to be my bride besides a lover
Once hurried,
Got married,
Oops! Why didn't I choose to be a bachelor?

Mirror Neurons

Have you ever imitated your favorite actor? Or talked like a person whom you like. Ever made fun of any person by mocking him?Of course, I too did. It's a lot fun in doing so. But why do we imitate?

Some scientists say that "Mirror Neuron System" are responsible for this phenomena. Mirror neurons get excited while we see others doing some actions and even when we do the same. Learning by imitation is done with the help of these neurons. Empathy towards others is also due to these neurons. We may experience the emotion when the other person experiences an emotion.

An interesting example which takes advantage of these Mirror Neurons is "Advertising". Suppose, our favorite actor drinks some beverage stylishly in an Ad, we will also follow him. Don't we?

And finally, if we make fun of our Profs by imitating their silly actions, its not our fault, blame it on these interesting Mirror Neurons.

Introspection

I felt a need for introspection in my life to become a better human. So, this post is for me.

Goal: To know about myself and bring changes in my life to become ... I am yet to know my life's goal.

Strengths:
1. My family & friends are my assets. What ever positives I have are just because of them.
2. I like to help those who are in need.
4. I learn a lot of lessons from others particularly by observing their problems and the way they deal them.
5. I give respect to the money but not too crazy about it.
6. I always look for the scope of improvement in whatever I do.

Shortcomings:
1. Lack of proper people handling skills - Can not console/influence any one.
2. Sometimes I don't control anger, jealous,lust.
3. I am a lean,weak guy.
4. I like to learn and achieve a lot of things but don't continue to have a very strong determination to achieve them.
5. I am a lazy guy and very much forgetful in nature.

Hobbies:
1. Reading novels, spiritual works
2. Watching movies & listening/learning music.
3. Novice art

Past, Present and Future - All are abstract.
