Myriad thoughts on a million things
Random Musings
This is not really a post about anything in particular…Just some random stuff I was wondering about.
Staring at People
I wonder what really is the science behind being able to ‘feel’ it when someone stares at you. How does that work? How can you ‘feel’ someone’s eyes on you? Stare at someone for a bit (even their back) and without fail they will ‘feel’ it and turn around and look at you. It’s just strange isn’t it?
The collective consciousness of City Traffic
I’m not much into driving…It’s just tough for me to focus on so many things together. The pedals, the gear, the car, the traffic….So sometimes when I’m being driven around; I often think about how it seems that the traffic has a collective consciousness. It feels like every driver on the road is tuned into a collective consciousness system and subconsciously knows what the other drivers are thinking … a little turn here and subconsciously the driver behind turns/brakes a little. They don’t even have to think about doing it. Packed roads…with less than a few inches of space between vehicles…and everybody moving like some smooth flowing river. It’s like watching a well coordinated show…. Most of the time that it. Sometime, maybe the collective consciousness misses a few beats and there are scrapes and accidents.

Hey Anmol,
Great random thoughts especially the staring bit… it has happened so many times to me. Can’t say too much about the traffic bit though since I have been driving for so many years now…
Keep the posts coming…
Love

Hey Gauri! Yes, it has been some time since i posted… guess was going through a writer’s block!
Hi Suneeta! You know.. to non drivers like me, it;s quite amazing to see the ‘unaware competence’ of driving.. It’s like watching people plug into the matrix… and then letting the matrix do the driving! haha
