Psychotic conversations

Where: Guest house, Living Room
When: Time for evening drinks while enjoying the night sky.

Psychologist: Psycho also called Doc. Ex director of XYZ Psychology institute in delhi . He is thinking about creating a new way of life by synthesizing Budhism and J.Krishnamurthy’s outlook. Sane people avoid him, as he is known to kill common sense in brutal manner.

Psycho was leaning comfortably in the sofa n watching a show on channel V
Eagle settles down in the near by sofa after a nice bath..
Wondering wat to do next.

Psycho: ……., I want to share one deeper insight with you.I am seriously concerned about it...
Eagle: (Go on) ......(Looks at Psycho)
Psycho: It bothers me that the whole world is becoming a body shop...People are trapped ..evry body is after flesh. Evry thing u see is becoming a skin show …also, those who show more skin get paid more.
Eagle: So?

Psycho: But u see, a girl make crores of rupees like this and another girl with same complexion n body is paid very little….She is exploited.. Its un fair isn’t it

Eagle: Hmmm, So u r bothered about the exploitation.

Psycho: No, thats only one thing.. U see, I do accept the Greek-roman affinity for aesthatic beauty but it should not be salebale good na? How can you justify people making money just based on beauty? Its not correct na ?

(Psycho, who is the most intelligent person on earth is pissed off with the girl on the TV. She seems to be too rich…And the way shez jumping around, its evident that she is ecstatic.)
Eagle: Hmmm, I have a different opinion to share.
Psycho: Yes, tell me. (A flash on his face.. at last, the conversation starts..)

Eagle: We go to another world where beauty is the basis of earning. Intellect is only to be appreciated. People are not allowed to engage in intellectual intercourse in public. Obviously, only people from opposite sex can engage in such intercourses. Knowledge is “make up” and experience is like folds of old age….
Now if u start making money by showing of ur intellect, (Lecturing)…Is it similar to skin show in our world?


Psycho: Yes….But ..(Very ill at ease, sitting up right in the sofa as if to defend himself from the expected blow………)
Eagle: Hmm. What if some body sells his knowledge or intellect like a professor? Is it not akin to …..
What if it is done on hourly basis………like consultants, visiting professors do? Call girls n boys???

Psycho: But this community helps the world….(Almost screaming…he looks horrified)

Eagle: Hmmm. Slowly, people start watching this public and shameless show of intellect through every media…evry body fixated with intellect n brains…….
And some intellects start making more money than others…….all unfair practices…..
Doc.Tell me how this community helps the world?

Psycho: ……(??????) U have given a nice perspective… I also thought so…..
I am feeling sleepy…(Getting up from sofa to move….)
Eagle: Btw, in that world, what we have done till now is not at all a respectable thing….
Whats ur opinion on intellectual masturbation??

Psycho: (Visibly suffering….) Ok ….., Good night.

Im sure by the end of talk, the highly intellectual, majestically lofty, deep thinking psycho would be wanting to dig a hole in the floor to hide his face.... HAIL DOC...I think this saturday we should propose a toast to his health....

i wonder he slept or devised some other model of selling same intellect .... as it is the only thing he has to sell..just like the girls who sell their beauty...!
although a bit shamelessly he does so...!
