18 years of sleeping on chairs, sitting on tables and attempting weird sitting positions on bicycles and bikes. But I never knew I had to always keep my backbone S-shaped. And one lousy morning when I decided to sacrifice my face and show up in class(just for a change) someone started screwing into my head that what I thought was comfortable was in fact not.
But me being the hammer, decided to hammer the screw back into that faculty's behind and sleep on the floor throughout the week and try out different letters of the alphabet instead of that stupid S that kept screwing me. ABCDEF....I tried everything out and discovered that ergonomics was actually like Math problems in which you simplified things till it was no longer interesting.
The course went on and I worked hard debating whether to complete my pending assignments or make huge posters(that can stand for lesbian and gay rights, glorify the egyptian mummies, proving that shit is good etc etc etc...(Well that was just a way to make you that I actually know much more than I actually do.) Two days before the presentation, the subject started bugging me...the benches in the BMW, the audi chairs, my lost phone and the new one, my shoes, my specs and even the shitpot. And one ordinary day I decided to take an asthmatic inhaler for my study. I went around hunting asthmatic people and made notes in the weirdest postures(This time inventing new letters instead of choosing from the 26 existing ones). Then it was the turn to explore different grips for the camera. After studying a hell of a lot of people(well 8 might sound very less but its like a million in my standards)I started my work on the presentation(this time exploring the transformation of my backbone from L to S to C to F, which is basically sitting straight and then automatically sliding down the seat till my neck was in the position of my backbone).While putting down all the valid (well this time the points were actually valid) points in my presentation, I came to know of a very sweet batchmate(sarcasm unintended) who happened to be studying a bucket. With a short questionnaire of less than a hundred questions (sorry for the exaggeration)she was apparently exploring how to attach soapboxes, mobile phones, television sets, computer monitors etc. on to the bucket. What a brilliant idea! Why didn't anyone think of it before? Then there were a lot of talk about whether you lifted a bucket while sitting or standing and whether you could compete in a marathon with a filled bucket in each hand.
Well, enough of trying to crack bokas and compete in the Great Indian Laughter Challenge. What I am saying is that we hardly see. All we have is a set of mechanical assignments which we do passively hardly knowing what we are doing. We live in the future, a world of our imagination, hardly knowing whats happening to and around us. And what I still don't understand is the hype regarding the time machines when the human brain and a bit of grass(for people who don't know how to use their brains) can translocate you to any point in space or time.
