Moral Science:The Art Of Living....oops..PJing

I was thinking of some serious topic to write on in the opening post of this new blog...something I really feel strongly about...but at the moment all that comes to my mind are PJs-good, bad and really pathetic PJs. Of course one could ask what the hell is a good PJ! A PJ itself is a poor joke, and not only is the use of the two adjacent adjectives gramatically and logically incorrect, no amount of thought investment can give me a comprehensible reason behind the usage. Still, almost everyone I know understands and uses this term very frequently. And of course, that's not where it ends....

There are types and types of PJs....plus everyine has their own classifications in terms of level and class. Perhaps no one here pays as much attention to the secondary occupation of studying the notebook in hand while "group studying"(outrageously popular phenomena, ultimate aim unknown to me, yet the best method for total timepass and bakaiti during majors and minors) as to the primary occupation of "uchhalofying", "counter-uchhalofying", analysing "uchhalofied" goods and pleading against "uchhalofying" (needless to add, to no avail)!!!!!

Honestly, we have come to the situation today that I dont think I have heard anything being called a "good joke" and being genuinely appreciated/laughed at ever since I joined this college.
Almost everything is a PJ, and something that makes a lot of ppl laugh is simply a good one.

PJing then, is an art. Invariably, every hostel, every department, every cycle and every friend circle has one or two "uchhaloo" elements...the undisputed kings of PJing...who get everyhting from applause to abuses to sandals to the unbeatable fame of being the most arbit ppl in the Insti. What sets them apart from the average Tom, Dick and Harry is a set of skills, both acquired and inherited....

One of which definitely is spontaneity and quick thinking. The reaction time needs to be quick to be able to come up with the most momentous comments that make everyone giggle.

Of course the Ps of patience, perseverance and practice are all very important to attain perfection.

And oodles of tolerance too, for there are bound to be a number of occassions when noone will find you funny, and you shall invite some amount of public wrath (just how much depends on your luck and the depth of your latest "uchhaloed" item; I say depth because it's certainly met a crash landing). Also living up to the reputation of being a Bakaiti Major can be more difficult than living up to the reputation of being an IITian, an engineer, your parents' child, your Prof's student and your senior's junior.

So hail to all those who have the guts to do it, and the talent to do it well....


P.S. I hope atleast someone does NOT find this post to be a major attempt at "uchhalofying" myself....I'm still naive, a beginner. And I plead the arbit janta to appreciate my attempt to help out people like me with some useful funde at the great art.
