It is most ironic that when you try and restrict yourself from thinking about something, you inevitably tend to think about it , majority of the times much more intriguingly . Why does this happen ? Well, it is hard to say. The human mind has had this innate capability to learn via contradiction, which more or less summarises the very tendency if humans of being argumentative. Somewhere beneath these grey cells, lies a perspiring ego , almost impregnably waiting to be challenged more so contradicted. It is perhaps this invisible trap of ego that abstracts the whole thought process in a direction one is trying to obscure from.
To make things a trifle more interesting, lets say you commit yourself that from now on , you will never even embrace the thought of the girl towards whom you have a predilection. The level of certainty is such that you try to obscure from even the thought of her and then you tell yourself that this would be it, I would erase her like she was a memory etched with a pencil in my mind. Less has one realised, that it would be then that the very thought of her would become so prominent , that what seemed earlier to be an ingenuous predilection turns out to be an unanticipated affinity, an inclination so staunch that you tend reminisce her fragrance more conceivably than your own odour . The very thought of her, that you intended to consider animosity eventually becomes a indetachable part of your thinking. To sum it all up,as much as you would try to not to think of her, you will keep moving deeper into an endless dark pit, one which has nothing but her memories, leaving you in nothing but a helpless delusion. It is then that one truly gets the taste of what is so pervasively called The White Bear Phenomenon. Personally , the white bear hasn't struck me as yet. Being lazy helps here :P
Try this and be honest : Don't think about the boy who wrote this article for 10 seconds, just don't even let his picture enter your mind. The idea is to contain yourself in such a way that the boy who wrote this article doesn't appear even in the realms of your thinking. Whatever he may be, you will not let him dominate your cerebrum for the minusculest of moments. Basically, you don't have to think about Nitin Garg , 732/IT/07 for 10 full seconds, as easy as that.
And the time starts now : 1 , 2 , 3, 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ,9 , 10 .
Gotcha!
