Reactions galore

This might be considered a blatant advertisement but hey.. its for a good cause..

One of my friends has a blog.. (here's the
link).. one of those covering various serious issues esp. related to India. Many blogs are definitely worth a read..

So after reading those blogs, I was considering how some people I know would react to them..

Subodh wud say sumthin like " Is having the aptitude for ignorance a weakness or a reprieve? (one of his (supposed) deep, philosophical, profound statements which will help understand the world better and hence help improve it..) "

Swats wud say sumthin like "hmm(thoughtful, serious and lost at the same time)…. Its true.. Thr is so much we dont knw di.. "

Pooja wud say sumthin like "hmmmmmm…(thoughtful and then slowly losing track…uninterested to a certain extent..she's already thinking about something else while u go on abt the serious issues we need to help solve .. And finally end it with an observation followed by a non-commital statement)… I don’t have an opinion abt this bcoz I don’t knw enuf to have an opinion"

Vij wud say sumthin like "ya its true…its quite sad (and give some example of how thr is so much wrong-doing on this earth.. For eg. How people mistreat animals and how badly she wants to join one of the PETA,etc organizations and yeah..thts tht.. )"

Ahil wud start a heated discussion about the topic (considering he is quite knowledgeable about all topics..like he calls himself.. Jack of all trades.. Master of ONE :) ) which wud eventually lead to no substantial end-result... (there is always someone who disagrees with his strong views though he believes himself to have successfully convinced the "opposition" and won the argument)

Shireen wud listen and eventually change to topic to something more fun to help bring down the blood pressure..

I wud listen.. Take it very seriosuly.. Probably simply nod my head when someone wud be talking about it… Think about it for varying periods of time.. Depending on the intensity with which it affects me.. Ranging from 2 mins to a day or 2.. And then get back to cribbing about more important (& selfish) everyday tribulations… :D

Please note - these observations are not necessarily valid as reactions for all incidents. It could be "one" of the many responses I get from the multi-faceted people around me. There are a number of (other) people's reactions I could not decide upon. This was NOT meant to ridicule anyone's opinions (or not). Considering my current (hectic) workload, I thought I could entertain myself a little. I guess one could simply react the way they have done so far…read and forget.. :)
