Ever felt the fine hair on your neck stand up?
Ever felt the telltale prickling on your back?
Ever come across something in the morning newspaper or the popular radio channel that felt like it was in your head only the night before?
Ever felt like someone is scrutinising your every move, your every thought and your very soul ?
Yes?
Then welcome to the club, Brother :)
You have the TRUMAN SYNDROME
We don't like to talk about it
We know it may sound a bit crazy---delusional-like
But all the while there's this Unease
Crawling up and down our spines
" Someone is watching
Someone knows something
Someone just wants to be in your head
Someone wants your soul" it says
We shake it off in broad daylight
We laugh at ourselves in the mirror
Until we see the thought---our thought---our idea right there on the front page of the papers complete with a diagram and a picture!!!
There's a gasp
A catch in breath
A pause in mid-sentence
And then the violent shrugging
A tremulous nervous laugh
And a denial
Before the frantic clambering towards "sanity"
This can't happen
This doesn't happen
We repeat fervently
BUT IT DOES!!!
And there's nothing to be scared of :)
Your bathroom mirror isn't a sophisticated hidden camera
Neither is there a satellite in space bearing your name
Nobody knows what you thought last night
And then maybe again they do
BOO!
Scared you!
Hehe
Actually I think maybe somebody knows what you think
Maybe somebody was thinking the exact same thing
Maybe someone just happened to be using the exact same phrase, the exact same words, the exact same idea!
Afterall we live in a very connected world today and History has it that in a given particular socio-politico-economical condition it is not unusual for two individuals to be going through the same things, having similar experiences and hence thinking similar thoughts...
only maybe earlier on they each thought it was just them thinking things whereas now with the world made smaller by the advent of tv, radio, print and the www we know for a fact it is not so...
Or do we?
Hehe...
Ok! now am scaring myself
So let the heebie-jeebies continue
In the meantime the question is:
You want a piece of me huh-huh?
Come, let's see you get it
HIIIIIIIIII-YAHHHHHHHHH! :D
