two days into MINDBEND and i ve indeed bended my mind twice(literally!!!)
THE FIRST NIGHT: my mind was under the influence of an artificial mindbender...WHISKY..
consumed a lot of it in very less time..all very NEAT n clean...wid few puffs to accompany it..i had totally surrendered myself to the power of alcohol...and it didnt disappoint me either..gave me pleasure as and when neeeded....i went to listen to PARNAB'S quiz too(yes the tipsy me)..in which every1 is an audience and just an audience..even the participants..that guy keeps on testing his own mettle and refreshes his own blurred memoirs...not of much use for us.. we all open our mouth in exclaimation or a big yawn...and i ve yet 2 figure his detest for derek o'brian..may be he enivies his stardom..but i wud certainly extol him for preserving wat he calls the true art of QUIZZING...
THE SECOND NIGHT: well u cant imagine how risky it is to await a lecture or presentation or even a HYPNOTIC SHOW in these fests....its like a damocle's sword hanging above u..all sorts of ill thoughts come to ur mind..will the guy make just another PPT or will it finally b sumthin substantial..and will leave a mark on that grey matter..after watchin a repeat telecast( of wat for the first time looked like a very good lecture on relevance of our vedic scientific knowledge in contemprary world..but see wat redundancy can do..all the respect tht i had for mr.deodhar i nearly lost..coz) i was expectin sum new fundaes but he just kept glorifyin the same old points...
tht was in the aftrnoon...the night had a HYPNOTIC SHOW in store..i wished(and it later turned out 2 b true) it were more a demo prsntation..with interactions with students and not a 2 hour one way commmunication about hypnosis...eager as i was to be a volunteer for his demo's..i volunteered..there were around 50 in all..this man was going to hypnotize me and others..the thought thrilled me...well then i started following all his intructions...stare at his eyes...stare at the mercury lamp in front...take deep breaths..fine sir...i did it all..coz i wanted to experience the TRANCE..but then i got a bit confused..he told us not to restrict ourselves and let our body free..i already had those titillating sensations in my hand...NOW AN UNKNOWN FORCE IS PULLING U BACK AND U LL FALL INTO THE LAP OF THE PERSON SITTIN BEHIND...sorry sir the force was missing for me..but the fear of being thrown down the stage cmpelled me to lay back..after tht it was more of following his instructions(of course consciously)..the group dance on stage made me nostalgic as it reminded me of my course at art of living..had the same fun after 2 hour of sudarshan kriya...and beleive me ther is nothin like DANCIN FREELY IN FRONT OF SUCH HUGE CROWD..the claps and hootings did hypnotise me..from exercising in gyms to reading nursery rhymes..we were doin all items for the audience..
well i had never got such a bad punishment for cryin...cryin as a 5 year old for milk...Mr. Nagesh was rite there holdin his mic. near my screamin mouth and don know why but my eyes FLICKED...it was for the first time in the whole process but in front of the doctor himself...my fun was over..he humbly asked me to step down with an advice tht i shud try my luck in mumbai...
