I crave for Mediocrity


  • Mediocre 
  • Ordinary 
  • Unexceptional 
  • Typical



Some of the classifications which we all want to break free of. Everyone wants to make their mark in this world. To stand out from the crowd. To Boldly go where No Man/Woman has gone before.


I have a friend who inspires me to think differently. 


Her daily struggle is to be Ordinary, not to stand out from the crowd.
She craves to be one of the millions of faces who you forget as soon as you see them.


She desires no special attention. She wants to be just one of the Gang.


Honouring her wishes, I will not share her profile or her blog link here, as I would be then doing the exact opposite of what she wants.


She is an Autistic and an ORDINARY human being.


You know who you are.






P.S. : Just a humble request to all. Treat everyone as your equal and as Bill and Ted said: Be Excellent to each other.

THIS IS COSMIC BLASTING OFF !!!!!!!!

    A very sensitive post! None of us think about those who want to be ördinary" coz we are all overgrown kids trying to seek attention. My best wishes to you on Diwali. You have touched a chord in my heart by writing about your friend!

    Interesting line of thought and the picture. The extra ordinary desire to remain ordinary, is amusing and extra ordinary in itself !!

    The photo is great. Is it stating that many of us don't know our identity or the face behind our mask?

    I really doubt if this philosophy would work in real world. But, it would make the world a better place.

    Quite a heartwarming story i must say. In a world where we're just monkeys wrapped in suits, begging for the approval of others. The desire to be normal is extraordinary !!

    nice depiction for being ordinary....
    I truly believe that attention seekers have a sole motive of being extraordinary...which usually leaves them with a negative feedback....so be ordinary but with a high self esteem...

Life is awful because Dragons are extinct

print("Hello World!")   It has been a long time since we last met, a lot has changed since then.  The human race has progressed into what some of them assume is the year 2013. (Idiots) . Game of Thrones Season 4 is proving to be really Epic.  I have started reading more of Ender's Adventures (Before the movie comes out this year and spoils everything) . I am working close to 12 hours everyday. (Resulting in this blog being neglected) Winter is coming !! (The Aussie One, and not in Westeros) But some other things remain the same, such as the ailments of the heart. So when one of my friends pinged me on IM today with a question: (6:33:54 PM) Korean Friend: why is life soo swfulll (6:33:58 PM)  Korean Friend : awfulll (6:33:59 PM)  Korean Friend : * (6:34:13 PM) Roy: All because Dragons have gone extinct (6:34:20 PM) Roy: Scientifically Proven I blurted out a random response without thinking (as usual) . But then this response got me thinkin...

The Friend Zone

Image
Couple of weeks ago during a random conversation the topic of Friend Zone and came up and I was surprised that people are not aware of ( the dangers of ) Friend Zone.  So for the benefit of fellow Human Race ( mostly Guys I guess ) let me try and describe what this weird phenomena is. "Friend zone" describes the way most women stop seeing a male friend as dating material after a certain amount of time has passed, even though she might have begun dating them had he acted differently when they first met. Say there is a man called Rahul of average attractiveness and a woman called Priya.  Rahul meets Priya.  Priya thinks "This guy seems nice. He's quite funny and reasonably good looking".  Rahul doesn't ask Priya out, but they see each other at social functions.  After a while, Priya stops seeing Rahul as a nice guy who is quite funny and reasonably good looking, and just sees him as My Friend Rahul. But oh no! Rahul realizes he's secretly...

Proved : The World is flat

There is still quite a lot of debate about the earth being round. I'm pretty sure its not round, and there's actually a really neat little experiment you can do at home that disproves the "round earth" theory:  Get a round ball. Put it on top of a larger ball, representing the earth.  You will notice how the smaller ball will roll off the larger ball, since both are round.  If, however, you place the same ball on the ground, i.e. on the top of the round earth ( the top is where ever you are, because, if the "round earth" theorists are right, the earth is round ), you will notice that the ball does not roll off to one side. This home experiment disproves the "round earth" theory, and it's a really neat trick you can do with the kids to get them involved in science from an early age.  Kids are the future, you know.
