all in a day

After a night journey, 3-hours of grateful sleep, I managed to be at office, half an hour late.
At office, things were staging, at engineer’s pace.
With no deadline coming, my designs are becoming an RnD topic, with anyone coming and poking around, and finding slight defect, here and there, in the drawing. These things amuse me, but since, I think, I don’t have any moral or legal responsibility of the failure of my designs, I am not able to ascertain the gravity of these defects.
Anyway, welcome news, my mentor is leaving today, and the designing software in my computer crashed, so practically, I am out of work, for next three days.

“A cloudy day is no match for sunny disposition “– William Arthur ward
As I retrospectively see the day, I feel how true the saying is. After I came to know, that I am free for three days, instead of celebrating, I started picking out the thorn, from the bouquet. I converted “no work ” as a bad thing , by applying the Karl Marx logic that “work defines man’, hence “no work”, means “I am no human”. And arm with that logic, I started lamenting about how wrong is the company, how wrong is the city, how wrong is the existence, and at the end “how wrong is everything”. Nevertheless, I quickly get aware of my bad mood, and tried to control my mood, and realized how “reasons follow emotions “, and why EQ is far more important the IQ.

Is sex everything ?
Sex can sell everything, true, as one can find , skinny girls, with skinny clothes, posing themselves from everything , from luxurious car, to toilet soaps; but is art is also , all about Sex.
while researching on “why music works”?, I got this interesting argumenT.
Music is neither pattern recognition nor clue solving … it is super saturation of senses.
Let me explain —

we are programmed to give ourselves a reward (a sensation of pleasure) if our senses detect something which has an evolutionarily survival/procreational value. Sugars are sweet because they have energy. perfumes have two sources of pleasure – food based (most flowers based smell) and sexual (pheromonal) — both having obvious survival/procreational value. colors also have both these functions — identifying which females are in heat and which fruits to pluck. humans having extraordinary dexterity take this to painting, where they paint something which superstaurates these senses and gives a saturated pleasure. that is why we eat super-sweetened chocolates. no where in nature are such super creamy, super sweet foods found.

Music has the same story. it supersaturates our senses of ‘hearing’. think about it — most songs have long aaaaaaa ooooooo type of sounds which are super stimulus of sexual sounds. we have devised many ways to super saturate our senses by finding many many instruments and many more ways of playing them. and we love to accompany it by human voices …

if ever there is a dog music … it would include intense barking sounds … probably we would not like it.
CERTAINLY, based on this argument, art to, sells on sex.
