Why Mumbais psychologists are confounded

Psychologists are now at their wits end as their profession has now become mostly guess work. What perpelexes them is the fact that people can no longer be diagnosed as mad or brain-impaired.

Wondering what I am bloggering about?

Well imagine any of the following scenarios and guess if the person is crazy or mentally-impaired...

1. Mental case: Person is seen often talking , arguing and laughing with himself (or herself) vociferously and in public places, even when there is not a soul nearby.

2. Psycho: Person talks in strange tongue and uses words like Blamestorming and boss-spasming

3. Amnesiac: Person calls same thing by different names each day - vada pav one day, bhim vada pav one day and goli vada pav another day. S/he calls everything from station to airport to housing society to road as Chhatrapati Shivaji.

4. Whacko: Person indulges in strange behaviors like tilting his head to the right while driving or walks with his head tilted to the left, groans in the simple act of sitting down and even cries when lifting a cup of coffee.

5. Utter fool: Person still crosses roads by running madly at dangerous intersections instead of using the subway provided

6. Illogical: Person types SMS in his mobile by holding it uncomfortably in front of his face


Indeed such strange behaviors instead of being indicator of mental health are indicators of a person up-to-date and modern in his life style. Here is the simple explanation for each...

1. Mental Case? Nah!! This is the simplest; He or she is talking on a mobile headset

2. Psycho? This is the latest jargon and with the invasion of laptops and computers in homes and offices, this is bound to happen.

3.Amnesiac: Politics and business in Mumbai is thus

4. Whacko Jacko? Poor man/woman has obviously been following rigorous exercise routine in gym or maybe even indulging in a bout of Krump or frump or other fad dance forms

5. Utter fool? No way! Subways are occupied by aggressive vendors. Who dares to enter their domain?

6. Not illogical but devious..this is the best way to take photos of an unsuspecting person!

No wonder psychologists no longer have an easy job!
