Its like getting complimented for creativity from God himself

I don’t think many know about my being super lucky recently.

I got a room partner who is a superb cook - I mean a really really superb one AND she enjoys cooking AND she expects me to help her by staying away when she is at it :) 

Indeed I couldn't get luckier, could i? Today however I decided that I am going to give her a 'taste' of my cooking ability…

Nervous though I was - my determination kept me at it…

and I ventured into the kitchen with my phone...

 I chose a rather simple meal - khichdi and Amsul kadhi which was simple yet yummy, and quite interestingly, exotic in its own way.

 With the help of instructions from my mother on phone, I finally managed to put together a decent looking meal.

 And then I served it to her. She picked up the spoon, dipped it into the kadhi, took a mouthful of it and said "you aint a bad cook! This is indeed great!"

 and then she not only took 1 but 2 more servings and wiped off the vessel of the last drop of the kadhi...

 I felt as if I got a compliment in creativity from God himself ! Yeah people - I am a 'not bad' cook alright! :)

comfortably numb

Human mind has its own way of dealing with crap. It too has a defense mechanism similar to your body.

It subconsciously activates the ‘numbness’ mode of your mind when it is hit by any emotional stress

In this phase, you don’t feel anything at all. You are in your own world. drifting away...

It is a no-man’s land. It aint ‘you’ and it aint ‘you’ either. Meaning, it aint the ‘you’ before your ‘comfortably numb’ phase began and then it is not the ‘you’ that you will be after it ends.

They show it in movies all the time, don’t they? The actor is in a sort of a trance… wherein he is just lost in transition… And then the brainwave hits him and he is transformed! He ain’t the same person anymore and he suddenly has all the answers to deal with the problem!

T    This system helps in many a ways like ensuring that you are a changed person so that you know how to deal with this problem, it gives you time to gather yourself and protects you when the storm is hardest

In most people this system is automated subconsciously.

And then there are the idiots who thrive on emotions and therefore don’t have a strong 'numbing' system.

Over time, they have fed themselves so much of emotional stuff that the system has weakened.

They all the time fail to understand how it is so easy for some people to deal with emotional stress while they struggle with it endlessly.

Now I know. It is the 'comfortably numbing' system at work that helps.

Can anyone please tell me how to activate this one?
