A usage of word 'hallucination'

I came across a new word “hallucination", while writing in Microsoft word and using the synonyms application.

Fantasy of using different new words makes me feel proud or sometimes make a foolish out of me among the others. But, who cares attitude give strength to my unbound courage each time and I am keep attempting on new words. Hereby, describing one of the occurrences of such thing.

Passing through a little confusing and unclear state of my mind, made me use of word “hallucination” in my status of Goggle Talk. And the show has begun. Many of my online friends contacted me asking what hallucination is. I have been proudly explaining them about using my shallow understanding about word and projecting my extraordinary knowledge in English vocabulary to them, until one dear friend of mine broke my understanding about word.

He started to ask “what happened to me? And why hallucination?”. Similar to others, I have explained him about word and told about unclear state of my mind. But this dear friend of mine was having deep understanding about this word and its usage. So, he understood that I am passing through the mental disorder (a sensory experience of something that does not exist outside the mind, caused by various physical and mental disorders – which is the actual meaning of this word). He has also suggested me, it’s not good to be in such hallucination state and don’t update such status in Google talk. On top of that, he was trying to help me out to come out of this state; he recommended a course of ‘Art of Living’ which he has attended.

On the other end, looking at the chatting window I was laughing, that my interest of using different word, without understanding them properly, pulled me in such troublesome situation.So, even if I was not in such a mentally disorder condition and not seeing any imaginary things, the world got to know that I am in hallucination condition. Ohhh GOD...!!!

Wandering on city streets

New City, new people, new surroundings – hundreds and thousands of observations. One of the obervation was little funny, describing here.

A number of advertisement boards and billboards about new construction sites and new home schemes on our way to the office and even everywhere in the city. From this anyone can easily make out that, the city’s real estate is booming and lots of construction work is going on in the city. So you might mislead yourself that houses may be cheaper here because of so much construction work and new areas are developing. But when you look at the prices, one quote can easily describe it – “Sky is not the limit”.

On the other side, What will you think; when you were travelling in a local city bus and you got to see the doctor’s advertisement for the diagnosis of piles in almost all the buses (specially on all handles of the bus, where we hang for support). Next thought was, "Does this city have lots of piles cases? Or there may be plenty of doctors who are really good in diagnosis of piles and may be because of that they are having blood shedding competition?" Whatever is the case, I got little scared and nervous about my own digestion system.

Plenty of advertisements on the same topics or subjects are sometimes very misleading...!!!

Bored with own character-behavior-personality

Thought provoked me during the morning meditation session and made me write on this.

We easily get bored with our work, life, people/relatives/friends, hobbies and activities in few days or may be in few years. Is that any time happened that we have bored now with our personality or behavior? “Just want to clarify that getting bore does not mean you started disliking our own self, but just want to try different stuff. It is also not that we are not happy what we are.” So, it means that any time it has happened that I have just bored now being so rude with others, I have bored now being angry all the time or sad all the time. I have bored now being so kind all the time, I have bored now being so emotional all the time, I have just got bored now being follower all the time, I have bored now being so caring person all the time, I have bored being so perfect and meticulous all the time, etc, etc...And the list goes on.

Other side, I think we never get bored with our personality or we never get a chance to get bore with it. Because surrounding environment do not allow us to change it. It keeps reminding us about the older things and we keep on retaining it for life long, years on years. Of course, the passing time and a shift in responsibilities will definitely change our character/behavior/personality, but this is not just because of we have bored now and you changed it. It’s a gradual, necessary and situational change.

May be its difficult or may be its just impossible to change it when you bored with it?

I think , I should experiment such things someday, because I felt really bored now.

Snoring of My Roommate

Does anyone think that how he/she can generate or make sound while he/she is sleeping? Isn't it very interesting to know and sometime very irritating to handle? Yes, specially when your roomate is snoring while you are sleeping.

The most important part is that person who is snoring, not even aware about his snoring activity. Very unlikely that snoring is not even disturbing his sleep. He/she will be in a very peaceful sleep. When you inform them next day, they are in a shock and not even ready to accept their noisy and non-human activity. For such cases, our very much realtime handy and helping tool - mobile - captured the video/sound of the person who was snoring and we showed it to him. Caught you..!!! :) :)

Jokes apart, but It really make me curious that what does make us to snore while we are sleeping and I end finding below details and stats from my favourite search engine.

"what causes snoring is simple. While asleep, the tissues of the throat and nose vibrate because of the air flowing through them. The volume of the snoring sound can therefore be largely dictated by the turbulence of the air flowing through the throat and nose. The more turbulent the airflow, the louder is the snoring and vice-versa; the lesser the turbulence, the more likely that the sound would be more tolerable for a bedmate or roommate."

"Statistics on snoring are often contradictory, but at least 30% of adults are snoring. 60% of men and 40% of women aged 60 to 65 years are snoring. this suggests an increased susceptibility to snoring as age increases."

And unfortunately, my roommate is a part of this snoring community. :)

Thanks to medical science that there are many such solutions like nasal sprays, nasal strips or nose clips are available in the market for snoring treatment which helps you to reduce snoring. So, my roommate do not have to worry much about, as he is getting married in few months.

This post of my blog is actually dedicated to him. Because of his snoring ,I couldn't sleep many nights and end up reading many good books (after giving him so much galis). Today, as he is leaving our room, I will wish him all the best for his future endeavors on his last day and wish to myself a very happy and peaceful sleep now onwards.
