???

A lot of things are beyond comprehension nowadays...

# How people survive this cold without warm clothes

# How Comparative Economic Development as a subject of study came into being

# How people get swayed by others' opinions

# How most socialist writers of the 20th century had a rheotorical tone throughout

# Why it is said that all good things come to an end

# Why some things are too hard to digest

# Why the metro can't pick me up from my house and drop me inside my classroom

# Why the body can't adapt itself to only the kind of food that we give it? Why does it want more?

# Why old wounds hurt in bad season

# Who gave importance to the word 'importance'

# Why I want people around me and at the same time don't want them

This won't end, I guess.

And you are saying that these things are beyond comprehension "nowadays"? Aren't most of these timeless problems?

I agree... these are timeless problems. But writing them down is a good idea, I think. It helps in getting the confusion out of the system and concentrate.

hmmm...

As I love quoting...instead of looking at the questions....try looking for them....

Why not eh?

Subhadip
It did. Thanks.

I am getting only funny answers to all of these..damn it, this is serious stuff.

Man, 'importance' is something I have thought about too..but then, its about letting it go. I guess these things shouldn't even be important enough to give time to..
But, writing seems to be the right thing, as Subhadip Da said!

Yeah, timeless questions, except the Metro one.
Point 4 is so true!! Reading Preobrazhensky, one thing that struck me every two sentences was: God, this guy is genuinely writing in the manner that's used in stereotypically to poke fun at socialist writers. "Exploitation of the toiling masses by the ruthless wheels of the capitalist machinery"... ooookay.

I'd have liked to read your funny answers too.

Amiya
hehehe...
I remember reading that line. And that was one of the things that made me give up on Preobrazhensky. The bloody language! Not that any of it mattered. This paper went even worse than I thought it would.

Except the metro one?
Phir to old wounds bhi hain na. Kisi doctor se puchhenge to woh batayega ki plaster jaldi kaatne ki wajeh se hai ya kuch aur. :P
